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.
I’m convinced he’ll be the first president in history to privatise the whole government.
The whole plan is to break all government agencies and then swoop in with a handful of billionaire buddies to buy up EVERYTHING. Houses, bitcoin, schools, outsourced (previous) government jobs to private industry. Crash the economy and tank the financial hit while everyone else is forced to sell, die, or give up their stuff to survive a recession.
Musk has already said Trump is going to tank the economy. Everything will be privatized. We’ll be in a dystopic present soon enough.
Already there with Musk and other big donors getting administration positions.
Musk as Secretary of Transportation would be a fun ride.
That’s what I thought was going to happen, but there’s still time. After DOGE guts the government, DOGE dissolves and Musk is Sec of Transportation.
