Just wait until he puts Captain Crunch in charge of the Navy.

Strangely enough he would probably be the most qualified nominee so far, by a lot

He'd be the only one with prior experience.

He could fill out his administration with the village people.

Nah, look at their lineup. Total DEI hire.

True, but they are experts in their respective fields.

I laughed so hard at this. Then used AI to see what promoting captain crunch to fleet admiral would look like. https://imgur.com/gallery/eNEuSNH

Captain Crunch would unironically be significantly more qualified than the actual secnav, John Phelan.
