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.
Dude said that dead soldiers were losers abd disrespected the Arlington cemetery and they are surprised by this one?
I call bullshit on this, if anyone loves to advertise his goods is this cat. You knew what you were buying, fuck you.
If you still voted for Trump after 2016-2020 and Jan 6th then you deserve what you get. Welcome to the find out stage, it just sucks that I have to be here with you.
Need a surprised Pikachu with a MAGA hat meme.
Trump LOVES the poorly educated, too bad it’s majority of Americans.
In Trump’s own words: ‘Maybe the 2nd Amendment people can do something about it.’
Twice, so shame on you.
Veterans that vote for Republicans… What a bunch of idiots
Trump called it I guess…
Suckers and losers if I recall
The nation made their choice, let it burn.
Election is over, he does not care what anyone thinks.
This is the most terrifying part. They say that he’s “liberated” now, but to me that just means he has nothing to lose. Assuming he lives past January 2029, he has nothing to lose and everything to gain by throwing all resources into staying in power. He has no reason to give a fuck about whether anything he does or says is “popular” once he’s sworn in. There will be zero consequences for anything until he leaves office, if he leaves office.
The dumb motherfucker proved that somebody with the mentality of a six year old can win the US presidency and then do whatever the fuck he wants, and he’ll never face a single, real, goddamn consequence. I am ashamed of my country, and it’s horribly depressing how many people died serving our military just to have this flag-hugging dipshit get to be the commander in chief, and he’ll sell out to the highest bidders and get several more killed.
We’re fucked, and only a small fraction of his worshipers are even beginning to see that. And when the shit hits their fan specifically, most of them will find a way to blame somebody else, probably somebody who is brown and/or has a vagina. Most of these incurious assholes will line up for whatever strong daddy negs them hard enough, and right now that’s trump, and there will be a new strong daddy successor to tell them what to do and who to love and how to dress. Strong daddy hurts you and controls you, but at least you don’t have to make decisions for yourself when you have strong daddy there to tell you what to think.
Fucking pathetic.
Even dictators need public support. This is a fundamental truth about leadership, that even Trump can’t escape. Those that don’t tend to have a short life expectancy.
Yay!
Almost everyone he appointed is a shady political insider or a rich guy. He’s draining the swamp water so he can fill the hole with nuclear waste.
Though usually they appoint them to ambassador to a ally like France or England or somewhere else cushy with minimal political impact.
And to the donvict cultists, what they call a “swamp” is actually a set of people that are experts and/or long-term public servants - something they’ve been trained to bray is a “bad” thing - calling them “elitists” (a perversion of the term) and yelling about “term limits”… instead, they’d apparently rather have a bunch of “outsiders”, which means - incompetent grifters and/or enemy agents looking to weaken this country for the benefit of the likes of Putin.
Deceived? He told you morons exactly what he was going to do.
They were probably focused on things like how the wimmenz and the tranz were hurting the military. Or something. Or at least the thin-skinned cishet xtian rightwing white male incel’s feelings, anyway…
One disturbing thing about this election was how many people in the groups Trump promised to victimize went and voted for Trump.
“But I’m one of the “good” ones”. Surely that will protect me.
I noticed that the “but mah inflation” narrative even worked on people that could otherwise afford the increases from corporate price-gouging disguised as “inflation” just fine.
Some of these same had to admit that their 401K still went up and up the past few years, even as they bitched about how the Democrats/Biden were “destroying the economy”.
I just cannot explain how people that were not really feeling it from “inflation” and are at risk from the qons could vote for donvict. It just makes no sense, except in the case that some of them expect to get more handouts aimed at the rich, and/or they think they are one of the “good ones” and the qons will not harm them.
zero sympathy for these idiots. you elected a con man. youre getting exactly what you paid for.
I might have had some sympathy the first time. They were just coned, not their fault. But as the saying goes. Fool me once, shame on You, fool me twice, shame on me.
I thought it was, “…fool me twice… can’t get fooled again.”

#YouVotedForHim
and similar hashtags need to go viral…
Vote for a clown, don’t be surprised when you get a circus.
These veterans not read project 2025 and realize they are about to lose their benefits?
Zero sympathy for them. I feel bad for the veterans who saw through the bullshit.
He wants to replace military leaders with lapdogs. His goal is to make military serve him not the Constitution.
If only they had a “very particular set of skills” to make a billionaire dollars and not have to deal with these consequences…
What the hell were any Trump-voting servicemembers expecting? That Harris and Walz were making stuff up when they brought up time after time how much Trump hates servicemembers and his country if they get in the way of his needs?
That Harris and Walz were making stuff up
Yes. They thought it was all a lie to make Trump look bad.
I think it’s pretty obvious they never heard a thing any democrat ever said, only what right wing media SAYS that ‘the libs’ are saying or doing
They were only focused on the parts where he talked about how he’d be “hurting the people he needs to be” hurting.
