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.
Hahahaha
Ha ha haaaaaa
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.
And by extension, Putin.
If only they had a “very particular set of skills” to make a billionaire dollars and not have to deal with these consequences…
If only they had a “very particular set of skills” to remove the orange shitstain.
Womp womp womp…
I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they’re not much bigger than two meters.
I read that as “Navy Prick” which. Uhm. probably still works.
Dumb people angry that they were conned. How very Patriotic of you.
At least they’ll be suffering him right along-side the rest of us.
Some expressed feelings of betrayal, accusing Trump of abandoning their values and making decisions that harm the nation.
If only someone could have predicted this and warned them, over and over, for years…
If only the person they voted for had said he intended to do this exact thing LOUDLY, REPEATEDLY AND PUBLICLY for the last 4 years…
If only… Oh well, I guess we’ll never know what that would have been like…
I want to punch these people in the brain. Don’t worry, it’s not like it’ll harm them anyway. They’ve eaten way too many paint chips to suffer new brain damage. I hope everyone who voted for Trump chokes to death on their own stupid choices.
everyone is going to suffer, but yeah, it’ll be briefly entertaining to see the leopards eating their faces.

Those are “their” values, not his. And for a rubble he’ll get new values.
who would’ve thought that trump would make decisions that harm the nation? i can’t imagine that
insert Eric Andre meme
This made me lol
During the elections I got the idea most Americans hated Trump and wanted him to just disappear, because of posts like this. I really need to widen the sites I get my US news from lemmy and reddit lol
Most Americans are also too lazy to vote. It comes with growing up in an easy life.
Oh they do hate him.
But they hated the idea of being ruled by a black woman even more.
I feel like it’s a little of column A and a little of column B; but I agree we should all widen the sites we get our news from.
Abandoning their values? Those ARE good values.
These people are fucking stupid
Every criticism of trumps cabinet picks are 100% for a fact over stated. I know the average Republican and they do not give a fuck. They won’t be satisfied until Trump crowns himself king.
King? Do I have you remind you there’s Trump fanart as Warhammer’s God-Emperor of humankind? Leader of the in canon Fascist army of warhammer 40K?
Not that there’s a good army (orks maybe?)
I wonder if they thought picking Big E to represent trump was ironic or not. Because the emperor made a bunch of mistakes that made everything a whole lot worse for a whole bunch of people. Like this is dystopian fiction we’re talking about.
The orks are good, but only from their moral lens. Fighting=good, green=good, gits=bad, krumping gits=good. The only reason we think of them is good is because there’s a lot of information on orc psychology, whereas we see the other races as more or less human instead of the aliens that they are.
Fuck i should help make the Warhammer communities here more active
As someone who doesn’t play the game or paint the minifigs or really interact with the franchise in any way at all, I really enjoy the lore and world building involved.
It’s post ironic edgy. Too many levels of irony and seriousness. It’s ridiculous. They know it’s ridiculous and are having a lot of fun pretending it’s serious and laugh at those upset by it.
The Tau…?
Heresy!
