Trump Said New Surgeon General Pick
Could Be 'One of the Finest' in History.
The Next Day, He Said 'I Don't Know Her'
May 9
President Donald Trump recently
announced a change of plans in
his administration, withdrawing
his previous nomination of Dr.
Janette Nesheiwat as surgeon
general and naming her replacement.
On Wednesday, May 7, the president's
Truth Social account revealed his
new nomination of Dr. Casey Means,
a medical professional and wellness
influencer, who is closely linked
to the "Make America Healthy Again"
ideology espoused by Health and
Human Services Secretary Robert F.
Kennedy Jr.
Trump's post read. "Her academic
achievements, together with her
life's work, are absolutely
outstanding." "Dr. Casey Means has
the potential to be one of the
finest Surgeon Generals in United
States History," the post continued.
On Thursday morning, an Oval Office
reporter asked Trump, "You just
announced a new nominee for the
U.S. surgeon general who never
finished her residency and is not
a practicing physician. Can you
explain why you picked her to be
America's top doctor?"
"Because Bobby thought she was
fantastic," he answered, referring
to RFK Jr.
"I don't know her," he added.
