Why did Ronny Jackson accept the nomination for such a high-profile, Senate-confirmed position?

knowing his completely jacked-up professional and personal history.

He knows the true physical condition of the orange jackass in the White House, but he's kept his mouth shut. (dumb and loyal) Now he's getting paid off with a cushy high-salary job.

He probably didn't realize he had to be approved by the Senate.

Surely he knew that all the skeletons in the closet would come out. I have to assume the guy isn't an idiot but I am hard pressed to think of another explanation.

A clown that could have never been a normal doctor in the public space. He is a nutjob, a weirdo.

Becsuse they are doctors they may think it's easier than what they could do.

But i have seen many doctors when taken out of their field they can come off totally clueless.
