An account of the social networks for the Secretary of the United States of the Navy John Phelan, whom President Donald Trump took advantage of the role despite having zero military experience, recorded the incorrect date of the attack on Pearl Harbor twice at the end of last week.

The two publications, which since then have been eliminated, went up on Friday after Phelan, a rich investor, a leading art collector and campaign donor from Trump, visited the Naval Atilín Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona memorial in Hawaii, saying that he was “there to honor the thousands of service members and civilians who died in Pearl Harbor on June 7 1941 “. “In another publication, the account referred to it as” the fateful day of June 7, 1941 “.

The Japanese army attack against Pearl Harbor, which President Franklin Roosevelt knew as “a date that will live in infamy,” occurred on December 7, 1941. As a impulse for the entrance of the United States in World War II, it is remembered as a day that changed the course of world history.

The veterans obtained great support from Trump in last year’s elections, with approximately 65% ​​of them saying they voted for him, they showed the exit surveys. That occurred after he made great promises to the members of the service and veterans during their campaign last year, promising to increase military payment and eliminate their “awakened” leaders.

But an internal memorandum obtained by News last month found that the so -called Trump government efficiency department, led by billionaire Elon Musk, plans to reduce more than 80,000 jobs in the Department of Veterans Affairs, which provides medical attention and other services to the millions of veterans in the United States. According to the reports, the cuts will occur this summer as the department undergoes an important reorganization in August.
