You've gotten inaccurate information. Only the Secretary of Defense and Navy chief were appointed by Trump, the rest were appointed by Biden. (The incoming chairman will also be a Trump appointee, of course.)

Who do you think the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is and who appointed them?

The seat is formally unfilled, so the vice chairman Christopher Grady (appointed by Biden) is the current acting chairman. You may be thinking of Dan Caine, who Trump nominated for the position but hasn't yet been confirmed.
