Happy to have you here on MS now.

So who is in charge of the U.S. Navy?

Constitutionally speaking, as you know, we have civilian control of the Navy and of all the other

branches of the armed services.

So, you know, it's a civilian who's in charge of the U.S. Navy.

Do you know who the civilian is who Trump put in charge of the

Navy? One hint is that he's a man who never served in the Navy, never served in the military at all.

He has no known previous relationship of any kind with the Navy or with the U.S. military at all.

Indeed, he was not known to have ever even shown any interest in the Navy with the U.S. military at all. Indeed, he was not known to have ever

even shown any interest in the Navy or the U.S. military whatsoever before Donald Trump

made him Secretary of the Navy. Why did Donald Trump put this guy in charge of it? I don't

know. What the guy does know a lot about, what at least he is known

for in the world is his art collection. His name is John Phelan, P-H-E-L-A-N, Phelan, that's him on the left with

his wife. Mr. Phelan is an art collector and finance guy

who Donald Trump put in charge of the United States Navy

for some reason.

Now, is his art collecting itself,

perhaps Navy related?

Like is he into paintings of ships?

Or famous naval battles of the 19th century?

No, nothing like that.

In fact, it's kind of a funny story.
