Didn’t this guy have zero military experience? How on earth did he get that job to begin with?
Never mind – – I just heard the guy was pals with Don Jr. Not that that’s a qualification though.
He raised millions for Trump.
Secretary of the Navy
On November 27, 2024, president-elect Trump announced Phelan as his nominee-to-be for United States Secretary of the Navy.[10] Many noted his lack of experience with the Navy, the military, national-security policy, and the defense industry. “Not all service secretaries come into the office with prior military experience, but he’d be the first in the Navy since 2006,” the Associated Press reported.[11]
***** The businessman/major fund raiser is out during wartime. The Navy man Hung Cao is in. 30 years in the Navy. This just had to be.
Good question.
Well mega campaign donor to the GOP and traveler in the investment banking circle makes him qualified. Right?
As with many other Trump appointments, the President has not been served well.
If I recall correctly, Phelan has a background in ship building. Hung Cao is great! I voted for him in the Virginia senate primary and General elections.
