Sanders said Jackson has passed four background investigations, including a recent FBI investigation that is part of the vetting process for Cabinet nominees. She said the investigations ā€œrevealed no areas of concern.ā€

But Sanders did not say whether the most recent FBI background investigation took place before or after Trump tapped Jackson as the VA nominee. And she offered no indication that Jackson was vetted over his qualifications for the job or screened for political concerns ahead of a contentious Senate confirmation process.

So, by trying to promote him to a position for which he was clearly unqualified Trump exposed him and, effectively, ended his career. Who says that nothing good can come from the Trump Presidency. Heā€™s definitely ruining a lot of careers that perhaps should be ruined.

Probably just hoping to serve out his service in relative obscurity, tending to ingrown toenails, flu shots and the occasional sinus infection - if they even have him seeing patients at all. Whoā€™s going to want to get that look when they reveal that Jackson was their doctor?

That Trump sure has a real knack for picking out the worst nominees, doesnā€™t he?

But look on the bright side, according to the good doctor, he might live 200 years.

It is remarkable how many peopleā€™s lives that Trump destroys. ETTD indeed.

Jacksonā€™s face in the photo put me in mind of Kermit the Frog. Anybody else see the resemblance?
