Trinque, promoted to Rear Admiral in 2023, was a big fan of Fauci. He wrote that Americans were getting a great value from his $417,608 per year salary. Trinque also pushed COVID fearmongering, posting on social media that it was "horrible" families wanted to gather together for Thanksgiving dinner. He also liked the idea of punishing the public if they didn't get a COVID shot.

He was also a mask nazi, repeatedly posting on the topic. When the Tennessee Governor ordered schools to get rid of masks, Trinque wasn't happy. He was also annoyed about people not properly wearing masks over their nose.
- 4 Trinque also ventured into the topic of so-called banned books. Parents have fought hard to stop adults from giving sexually explicit books to their minor children. Yet, Trinque posted support for the Brooklyn Public Library's "Books Unbanned" project—a dig at those concerned parents.
- 5 The Admiral posted profusely about his disdain for the south saying, "driving through the south can be depressing." He also found it disturbing that there aren't more women on the Supreme Court and emphasized "#RBG."
- 6 Adm. Trinque is a big promoter of DEI, claiming diversity would "build cohesion." He called for people to "disrupt" and "take action" and so far he has faced no consequences, only rewarded with promotions.
