The Trump administration fired John Phelan, its top naval official, on Wednesday. Apparently, defence secretary Pete Hegseth didn’t like him, and there was a clash of opinions on shipbuilding reforms. Phelan has been replaced by Hung Cao, a Vietnamese refugee who has criticized DEI and joked about wearing a KKK hood. In 2023, during an unsuccessful run for the Senate in Virginia, he also claimed that witches had “taken over” the city of Monterey, California. Only the BEST people!
