The newest addition to the Trump cabinet or as I call it the Council of Useful Idiots, will be the anti-vaxxer RFK, Jr.
Be prepared for more health disasters and assaults on Medicare and dangerous food…..but the biggest problem I see is like some many of Trump’s nominees RFK,Jr has NO credentials to run the office of HHS
But I digress.
President-elect Trump continued his stream of controversial Cabinet appointments on Thursday, saying he was “thrilled” to announce that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be his nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
- “For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health,” Trump said in a statement on Truth Social. “The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!”
- If he is confirmed, Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic, will lead a massive agency that “oversees everything from drug, vaccine, and food safety to medical research and the social safety net programs Medicare and Medicaid,” the AP reports. After Kennedy dropped his independent presidential campaign and gave Trump his endorsement, Trump said he would let Kennedy “go wild” on health policy. Republican Sen. John Cornyn said Kennedy would be treated like any other nominee during the confirmation process, Politico reports. Asked if some of Kennedy’s positions, including his claims that vaccines cause autism, would be a problem, Cornyn said, “I’m sure it will come up.”
So far the Council of Useful Idiots is made up of boot lickers and ass kissers….what a great cabinet we will have.
Where will the nation’s health suffer? How many preventable disease will run rampant? What about our food supply, will it be safe or will it become dangerous like so many third world countries that do not have safeguards?
Trump is putting the very ignorant people that voted for him in danger….I hope they are happy with their choice.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
It is at this point that I begin to wonder which part of his brain that worm ate.
Hard to say for sure. chuq
I will wait and see what happens. He might be better than expected.
There is that possibility. chuq
He may not get confirmed. A number of republicans are speaking out Trump may withdraw his name. That is also true of the AG pick and maybe some others. Some of those senators gave to fun again in two years. They are thinking about reelection prospects.
run again
I think that is a valid point but Trump has been known to gpo after people that do not do his bidding….we will see chuq
Not that I am barracking for anyone but hey, there have been many an educated, capable, intellectuals etc persos appointed to variour government portfolios in the past and they managed to run down health care, housing etc etc…So I will wait and see – without holding my breath 🙂
That is a wise choice….I just hope everyone does not accept what do not want. chuq
I personally cannot see how an anti-vaxxer and proven liar like RFK can do anything useful in charge of healthcare. If he stops most vaccine programmes you will see the return of polio, tuberculosis, and many other preventable diseases and illnesses. But he will likely help Trump demolish the affordable healthcare system completely, and that will be his legacy.
Best wishes, Pete.
My thinking as well….incompetent slug. chuq
