Seems like a proponent of “extreme vetting” would have turned up the Navy’s own personnel records if he gave a damn about the veterans he’s always shedding tears over. And “aren’t thinking nicely”? Tell me his vocabulary isn’t shrinking. Normal unimpaired adults don’t talk like that.
Typical Drumpf
Doesn’t have guts to make his own personnel decision. He would rather leave his nominee to twist in the wind.
Drumpf has no leadership ability and he couldn’t manage a local Taco Bell.
PP’s and his posse are extremely effective at just one thing: nominating job candidates with a record of incompetence, abuse, or corruption. Every. Single. Nominee.
"a bunch of politicians that aren’t thinking nicely about our country?”
Truly, the eloquence of JFK has been surpassed in this age.
What happened to Kuhlman?
A watchdog report ordered in 2012 by Dr. Ronny Jackson
Isn’t this the same IG report Jackson said didn’t exist (at the same time it was being publicly released) earlier today?
It’s curious how anyone associated with the GOP or the White House suddenly simultaneously develops both amnesia and pathological lying. Somebody should call the doctor a doctor.
The report, reviewed Tuesday by The Associated Press, suggested the White House consider replacing Jackson or Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman — or both. Kuhlman was the physician to President Barack Obama at the time.
It’s all Obama’s fault! Just like it was Obama’s fault that Chiselin’ Trump appointed Mike Flynn as his National Security Advisor.
Is that like calling a spade a spade?
The fact that Dr. Jackson didn’t turn down the offer right away makes me think he is lacking judgement. He didn’t know this stuff would come up?
Who would have thought that proclaiming a man (who weighs at least 280) tipped the scales at 239 is not sufficient qualification to head the VA?
Unless he was in fact looking for a career-ender.
What’s that now? He’s not going to get a vote? But he’s already ordered the $300k liquor cabinet.
He left in '13
It looks to me like Trump made a hasty, poorly thought out decision, decided he couldn’t afford the risk, leaked a bunch of minor trash, and casually destroyed a man’s career.
Or at least buy him a drink or two or three or four.
Matt, Matt, Matt…Be fair. This was the White House Inspector General report. How was Trump or his people ever going to find that?
The Midas Anus strikes again. Another middling-but-not-disastrous career ruined.
What a coward the man Trump is, totally unable to accept his mistake and withdraw the nomination.
He really likes the word “nice”. For most adults that is a weasel word used when something does not merit “good” but you don’t want to be nasty. He thinks it applies to missiles.
