Trump Donor John Phelan Confirmed as Navy Secretary

What Happened: The Senate confirmed John Phelan, a private investment firm founder and major Trump donor, as the new Navy secretary. Phelan, who has no prior military experience, donated nearly $1 million to Trump’s fundraising committee and hosted a high-dollar fundraiser for him.

Why It Matters: Phelan’s appointment highlights his lack of qualifications and the increasing trend of major donors securing top government roles. While he claims his "business experience will help fix Navy inefficiencies, he has zero military or defense sector leadership.
