President Trump plans to nominate Richard Spencer to be secretary of the Navy, the White House announced Friday evening. Spencer, who has been Trump's rumored pick for months, most recently served at the investment company Fall Creek Management as a managing partner, the White House said. He has years of experience in finance, and serves as a U.S. Marine Corps Captain, having spent five years on the Defense Business Board, including in the role of vice chair.
Spencer is Trump's second pick for Navy secretary, after Philip Bilden withdrew from consideration for the position in February out of concerns about divesting from his business interests.

Spencer hates ships, can't abide waves, loathes uniforms, and despises the Navy and wants to destroy it.
The intent to demolish the department you lead is trumps idea of qualifications.
