Not sure what Dr Jackson's qualifications are but I'm less than optimistic based in Trump's past decisions. Our commander in chief in my opinion is amongst the best at making regrettable decisions.

It's as if Trump has been looking at his cabinet and deciding that the people involved aren't unqualified enough. Remember that meme picture showing him asking a kid if he wants a job at the White House? That's practically where it's going at this point.

As was pointed out in a previous thread; Dr's conclusion about trumps health now makes total sense. God damn sycophants.

Oh yeah. Totally objective health advice for sure.
Without a doubt the conclusions reached by Dr Jackson's were completely unbiased and he had no conflicts of interests at play.

I'm not prepared to impugn Jackson's credibility as a physician. OTOH, he probably has little idea what he's getting into & little admin experience. Running the VA isn't a good place for a newbie.

As long as you are white and kiss Trump's ass you have a shot at a job. That presser after Trump's exam was Trumpian at best.

At least this guy goes into the lying from the start so his reputation can't get much worse.

200 billion budget, 300k employees. 2nd largest organization in the world. No real experience running large administrations. Have fun!

That's really unfair. Jackson was appointed White House physician by Obama in 2013.

I just hope he can step up & do a great job for our Vets.

Pretty amazing that Trump still has some kind of administration to do the nation's work. Being owned and operated by a paranoid control freak micro-managing tyrant is just not the kind of leader/leadership the nation deserves. Just look at who he's got left and what kind of folks he's trying to vainly fill all the gaping holes with to see where this administration is headed. Sad.

Trump never realized that there were a whole lot more skillful backstabbing opportunists that was a whole lot better at the game than he ever was and now that he feels like there's a bushwhacker behind every corner he walks up to and the folks he put his trust in just does not seem to see the very special way that he and his supporters sees things, well, here we all are, looking at the carnage he and his crooked corrupt to the core Repub controlled legislature created for us along with a special prosecutor stripping away the layers of fakery he's put up to hide his many misdeeds and possible crimes.

Will his supporters learn anything useful from their believing in a narcissistic pathological liar that made fools of them time and again?

Nope, sadly, it's proven beyond all doubt that they won't. The next pied piper to start playing the same tune Trump is playing is already warmed up and ready to go the moment Trump gets his ass thrown out of office and they will love him (never ever a her mind you) even more than they love Trump.

What did Shulkin do that was so much worse then Pruitt, Carson, Mnuchen??
There are laws in many states about physicians accepting 50 dollar gifts for patients. I'm not sure how medical association ethics look at physicians accepting promotions from patients.

Also it doesn't appear he really has any sort of qualification to run something like the VA. Its akin to say the lead IT guy at your job suddenly being promoted to run all of apple (not just apple's IT but all of apple)

I can honestly say that this doctor is far more qualified for his new job than Trump is for his.

Why is there a White House physician? In a country with a chronic shortage of doctors this is a waste of expertise. The President, any President, can make an appointment and be seen 90 minutes late just like the rest of us.

I caught the tail end of an NPR interview with Shulkin. It sounded like he was pretty upset over accusations that some trip(s) were inappropriately charged...he claimed that he had gotten approval, and when informed that one at least was out of line, he said he paid it back. He said that the White House told him he could not issue a statement about it. In other words, he couldn't defend himself.

When asked about his replacement, he said he knew him well and had good things to say about him.

I can't wait for the hearing when Jackson is asked who weighed Trump, and the chain of custody of the number until it was disclosed to the public. No way that fat fuck weighs 239 which is coincidentally 1 lb below obese.
