MODERATORS
They voted for this. Trump said exactly what he was going to do. Repeatedly.
They are against his picks but I don't think for the reason you think...
Im not a smart man, but I run a large complicated facility for a job.
When I have a safety issue, I call our safety expert. When I need to know about loading and unloading in the dock, I speak to the dock supervisor. When I have an admin issue, I speak to the admin lady... I do not like some of the people I have to rely on, but they are very VERY good at their jobs.
Even most of his supporters know Trump is a figurehead but they are seeing him surround himself with cronies and political appointments instead of qualified and intelligent people, even if those people would just find the "least bad" way to implement his moronic ideas.
You should read the article. They LIKE that they're seeing him surround himself with cronies. They're upset that one of his picks isn't ENOUGH of a crony.
Wow...
Read the article, they are complaining that he's naming an half normal surgeon general instead of a complete quack.
Except that this article is talking about MAGA Truth Social users whining over the Surgeon General pick, who - shocker! - supports vaccines and masking.
This is a surprise from Trump.
Trump was super proud of the vaccine. And admittedly, his administration did a good job with fast tracking it.
I doubt Trump is even anti-vax. He’s a huge germophobe. To the point that i’m shocked he allows RFK Jr anywhere near him with all the roadkill that guy has eaten.
Regardless, he megaphoned anti-vax talking points and inflamed the entire situation, he's still directly responsible for so many deaths, let's not whitewash where he stands on the issue just because his administration allowed people to do their jobs.
