    I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me

    Right… so why did you take the position of Secretary of Health, again?

        I’m not sure why you’d think that. They don’t give a fuck about the law.

      Exactly. That’s like SecDef being like “idk, I’m really not in a position to gov military advice”. I say that fully aware of the irony, but it’s hard to pick a non-busted example since Trump’s cabinet is just completely full of “meritocracy”.

        Mediocrity.

        Ha, if only. I wish it could be that rosy :'(

        Maybe midiocracy?

      He took it because he’s a narcissist who’s convinced he’s right about everything because of his last name and his money. Sound familiar?

      Trump’s entire cabinet was picked for two reasons: Loyalty To Trump and Pissing Off Anyone Who Doesn’t Kiss Trump’s Ass. RFK fills that second one.

      The job of Secretary of Health is best suited for an administrator, not a doctor.
