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.

    A handful of users on Truth Social are mad.

    Liberals: TOLD YA! BAH HA HA HA!

    You fucking children. Do you really think more than .03% of Trump voters are paying any attention at all?!

    The replies on this thread are so wildly out of touch, it’s stunning. If this shit is what liberals believe, you deserve to lose. Oh look! It is what you believe, and you lost. Huh.

    But please don’t let me stop you from taking the moral high ground! Apparently liberals would rather be right than win. Guess what numb nuts? The other side is doing the opposite, and winning.

    Liberals: The Democratic party won’t learn!

    And neither will you.

      Out of line, but you’re right. The first time we were “you don’t know what’s in store if he wins!” Now they know, and they like it.

      They aren’t just ignorant, they are evil. They’ll gladly suffer as long as “them” suffer more.

      Meh, calm down there, unhappy.

      We’re still doing ok and building our connections just fine.

      Have a nice day, if you are actually able 😎

      Calls others children, acts like a child. Checks out. By the way, I hate the Democratic party as well. But your supposed superiority is just as cringey.
