Trump Nominates Casey Means as Surgeon General Amid Controversy
In a surprising move, President Trump has nominated wellness influencer Dr. Casey Means as the new U.S. Surgeon General, following the withdrawal of his initial pick, Janette Nesheiwat, due to concerns over her medical education. Means, who is known for her connections to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the MAHA movement, faces scrutiny due to her inactive medical license and lack of traditional medical credentials. This decision has raised eyebrows, with opponents pointing to the potential implications of appointing an influencer with no official medical license to such a critical health position. The White House stated that the nomination aims to promote a holistic approach to healthcare. The abrupt changes in nominations underscore the ongoing challenges within the administration as it navigates controversial appointments.
