Donald Trump Nominates Ken Braithwaite to Replace Richard Spencer as Navy Secretary

President Donald Trump announced that Ambassador to Norway Ken Braithwaite would be nominated to replace Navy Secretary Richard Spencer.

“A man of great achievement and success, I know Ken will do an outstanding job!” Trump wrote. on Twitter.

Braithwaite is a retired Navy Rear Admiral.

Trump detailed his decision to fire Navy Secretary Richard Spencer on Sunday, pointing out he was “not pleased” with how the Navy treated SEAL Eddie Gallagher.

“I was not pleased with the way that Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher’s trial was handled by the Navy,” Trump wrote, noting that the retired SEAL was “treated very badly” despite being exonerated on many of the charges against him.

Trump announced last week he would restore Gallagher’s rank after the Navy lowered it after he was convicted of taking a photo with a dead Islamic State terrorist.

In response, the Navy under Spencer launched a review board action on whether Gallagher could keep his trident pin, threatening his identity as a SEAL. read more

  1. Spencer had to go. He answers to POTUS Trump, via SecDef in the chain of command. Instead, he was covering the ass of SEAL Admiral Green and Greens band of lickspittles.

  2. Trump can fire his Navy Secretary, but cannot oust LTC Vindman from the WH? I think Trump wants Vindman right where he is. And I reckon we’ll see former Sec. Spencer as a CNN analyst soon.

  3. Good call. Navy Seals only make up 1% of the Navy, less than 2500. There are a couple million mindless bureaucrats who can replace Spencer. Now, get rid of RADM Green the watermelon.

  4. As Spencer’s head rolled away from the
    “I am more important than the President”
    chopping block; a lot of Deepers’ eyes were
    watching as they considered the very clear
    message of his very fast demise.
