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.
The irony of making fun of “leftists” for believing this shit is not lost on “leftists”. Most of us don’t believe it. However, most Trump supporters absolutely HAVE to believe this kind of bullshit, because Trump wouldn’t appeal to you WITHOUT this exact kind of dishonest media.
I think what’s happening is people are angry that they have been consistently correct about their fear of Trump, yet Trumpers pretend we were wrong even when the reality is right in front of you now. Like, literally, all of the reasons we have warned about Trump are coming true.
Every single argument against Trump goes the same way. Trump supporters deny the claim. Then, when it looks like its coming true, they re-frame it with desperate speculation until it actually comes true. Then they pretend that’s what they all wanted in the first place.
“Haha…the libs are angry about it…we won!..lets keep marching towards the spinning blades patriots!”
I mean, seriously. The lies! So many lies. So many PROVEN right in front of you lies? So many incoherent rants. Threats of violence. Multiple different “genres” of crimes. Venomous hatred against minorities and other human fucking beings. Is it supposed to be some kind of tacitcal political genius against people who don’t get it? Why? Why don’t any of you ever explain why? Wouldn’t it make sense to be comprehensible to liberals too? Is he pretending to be an obnoxious, evil, demented, bully or not? He sure does a remarkable impersonation of a childish, rich, asshole.
“I will deliberately make people think I’m terrible using hateful bigotry and childish insults and nicknames but my supporters will know otherwise because only they will have the key to my secrets…and that’s why liberals are stupid and my supporters are so smart”
Not much of a tactic is it?
