Summary

Donald Trump’s appointment of John Phelan, a private investment firm chairman with no military experience, as Secretary of the Navy has sparked backlash from some of his supporters on Truth Social.

Many pro-Trump users, including veterans, criticized the pick as rewarding a donor or friend instead of selecting someone with Navy experience.

Some expressed feelings of betrayal, accusing Trump of abandoning their values and making decisions that harm the nation.

The move has raised questions about qualifications and loyalty among his base.

    Let me get this straight. Team Trump’s thing is to always pick the worst for the job. And not just the worst, we are talking polar opposite black mirror picks. It is designed to make a mockery of the establishments. Like going into court and finding out your judge is literally bozo the clown.

    So his team farts out another pick. Someone who is an unqualified shitstain. Color me surprised!

    I would not be surprised if this guy couldn’t swim and is afraid of the water. He is probably an anti-oceaner who thinks we should drain the ocean to prevent drownings.

      He just happens to know these nice out of town people with fusion reactors that can float in the air and suck it all up for us to keep us safe.

      This response should be the preamble of the Lemmurist Manifesto.
