Donald Trump has replaced an experienced admiral with a 33-year-old with no naval experience.
A 33-year-old DOGE employee was tapped to run the U.S. Navy’s science and technology arm, though she appears to have no experience with the U.S. Navy, science, or technology, The Bulwark reported Thursday.
Dr. Rachel Riley was chosen to replace Rear Admiral Kurt Rothenhaus as chief of naval research, where he has served since 2023. The Office of Naval Research is responsible for disbursing billions of dollars in grants and contracts to benefit the Navy, and has historically been led by an active duty flag officer, according to USNI News.
Riley previously worked as a partner at McKinsey & Company, and completed a Ph.D. in social policy and an M.Sc. in contemporary Chinese from Oxford, according to her LinkedIn. She joined the ranks at DOGE and was assigned to the Department of Health and Human Services, where Politico reported she pushed for massive layoffs earlier this year.
This is what a kakistocracy looks like, folks. Not one person in charge is actually qualified for their role. They are simply loyalists who will do whatever Trump tells them to, with no comprehension of the consequences.
We’re governed by 4chan trolls so does that make it a kekistocracy?
Sorry, I’ll go wash my mouth out with soap now.
Lol so she’s gonna fire everyone? McKinsey doesn’t teach their employees anything anyone with a biz degree and money doesn’t already know. I’m gonna guess Chinese spy since we’re selling everything in this fire sale.
As a chef I refuse to work for anyone that is not a chef themselves. It’s always a shitshow and never worth it.
This is a lot more serious though. Some zombie woman in charge of a national, critically important service…
She has been loyal to DOGE, and this is the reward.
