My G-d
The Navy goes from an incompetent in John Phelan who was appointed because he was a Trump donor
To Hung Cao-the apparent king of stolen valor who believes parts of America are being overrun by..witches and wiccans
Heaven help our sailors fighting Iran-on active duty in the Strait of Hormuz
Our new Acting Secretary of the Navy:
Hung Cao, a former EOD dive officer, claims extensive combat experience and that he was wounded in Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
He managed to get “blown up” in THREE separate conflicts but never received even one Purple Heart or Combat Action Ribbon…
❗ NEW: From bad to worse, in a regime that does its best to hire "only the best."
Unclear why Phelan is suddenly out at Navy, but Hung Cao brings questionable tools to the job — stolen valor issues and claims witches run California.

Trump always appoints questionable people.
Former Secretary of the Navy John Phelan never served in the military but did fly at least twice in Epstein's plane.
His successor, Hung Cao, claims to have been “blown up” in combat. But there is no Purple Heart or other evidence to support such claim.
My favorite bit of trivia about Hung Cao is that when he ran for congress, he spent a chunk of time campaigning in the wrong district.
The new acting Secretary of the Navy, Hung Cao, who is replacing John Pelan, is a theocratic loony who thinks California is infested with witches. The only thing the Trump administration shows *any* aptitude for is filling its job openings with unqualified kooks.
Hung Cao, the failed Virginia candidate for U.S. Senate who claimed he had been "blown up in combat many times" despite no documentation for it nor medals awarded as is standard procedure.

Pentagon says Navy Secretary John Phelan is leaving, in latest departure of a top defense leader
A Pentagon spokesman said that Phelan was “departing the administration, effective immediately” and Undersecretary Hung Cao will become acting secretary.

Navy Secretary John Phelan has exited his post effective immediately. Undersecretary Hung Cao takes over as acting secretary during this sudden leadership transition at the Pentagon. No official reason has been provided for the move.
my virginia folks know this but hung cao is fucking nuts, but will gladly contribute to the deus vult prayer meetings hegseth is apparently requiring all senior staff to attend
Total MAGA lunatic Hung Cao (former VA GOP House & Senate candidate) to become Acting Navy Secretary. Serious Stalinesque purge of our military leadership to install loyal stooges. Cc: @bluevirginia.bsky.social
The new acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao faced troubles in his 2024 Senate campaign for saying he was "100% disabled" from being "blown up" while serving.
His record did not show that, and he never received a Purple Heart or Navy Combat Action Ribbon.

This is bad. The guy taking over for the Secretary of the Navy is Hung Cao, a pathologically-lying sociopath and whack job:
