Was Jacksons nomination a quid pro quo

[meadowlander]

For giving Trump a favorable medical review? He is ridiculously unqualified and was clearly never vetted.

Democrats should demand that Trump get an actual medical with an uncompromissd doctor. There are serious reasons to question his mental fitness for the role.

1. Private

I don't know. I suspect they know he will back Trump's desire to privatize the agency.

2. I have no doubt it was

That ridiculous health assessment report, followed by the nomination, leaves me with no other explanation.

3. Yes it was a quid pro quo, but Dems shouldnt demand anything.

What’s the basis for demanding a health evaluation? We have no right to the president’s medical records any more than we have a right to his tax returns.

4. I have been asking the same thing all day.

It seems Dr. Ronny is being paid back for something. There are a couple of things in his past role that that could be.

5. My 1st thought too.. 2nd thing was he's Trump's Candy(Speed)Doc.

Not mutually exclusive suspicions. Trump needs to be given a legitimate physical and also thorough, surprise drug tests.

9. Omg excellent connection.

6. THE DONNY AND RONNY SHOW: Donny: You give me a great physical report and I'll

take care of YOU! Ronny: Great! Make me head of V.A. Donny: You got it Ronny.

Perfect!

Even if the admiral was a good doctor, he is in no way qualified to be an administrator. Most doctors aren't. It is not part of their education.

7. I suspect yes, with the cover that it is over privatization

*45 most likely needs/wants meds for focus, baldness, virility, etc. that he doesn't want to be publicized beyond the previous reveal of Propecia.

Plus, he may want to keep Malaria pliant and almost happy with whatever meds she wants. without publicity.

But the cherry on top - privatize with donors hauling in the goodies and vets left out.

8. Doesn't need to be a quid pro quo

Some reports say the Candy Man is a champion butt kisser. That's all you need to get a job.in Trump World.

10. I've been wondering about the Candy Man aspect myself

I don't think Trump is drug free.
