Trump withdraws Casey Means, nominates Nicole Saphier for Surgeon General
President Trump withdrew Dr. Casey Means' stalled nomination and nominated Dr. Nicole Saphier to be U.S. surgeon general. Dr. Nicole Saphier is a radiologist and former Fox News Channel contributor who has published commentary on vaccines, autism, peptides, and diet. Her nomination matters because the surgeon general sets national public health messaging and Saphier's record signals the administration's likely priorities if she is confirmed.
"The Fox News contributor is the founder of a supplement business that develops 'clean, thoughtfully crafted tinctures'... "Her Instagram account is peppered with dubious wellness claims such as 'rosemary and sage decrease Alzheimer’s risk'...” arstechnica.com/health/2026/...
One of the most consistent things about the Trump administration is that the primary qualification for any position is that you must be totally unqualified for that position.
JFC, is she married to Florida’s voodoo surgeon general? “I don’t care about you. I just want your vote. I don’t care.” -Trump, Las Vegas Rally, 2024 He meant every fucking word!
The are litteraly putting the snake oil people in charge of healthcare in the USA.
Quacks appear easy to find at the Fox network.
Its always a grift, always.
She'll fit right in with the RFK slaughter health bunch.
But what about Parsley and Thyme?
Acceptable Nominees per the GOP Apparently
We all gonna die sooner than expected, aren't we 😳
Everything is television and somehow also everything is an old time medicine show
He only nominates quacks: medical quacks, economic quacks, legal quacks and military quacks. He's the biggest quack of all, a business quack and a negotiating quack.
I’m buying stock in snake oil, raccoon penises, candles, salt, long straight pins, and straw dolls before everyone gets any ideas! I’m going to be rich! Why candles, salt, long straight pins, and straw dolls? Because witch craft and voodoo will be all anyone can afford for healthcare.
Wow! Fox News is the premier staffing agency for the White House!
FOX NEWS IS RUNNING OUR COUNTRY INTO THE GROUND LITERALLY BETWEEN THE NEW STATION AND OUR GOVT RUN BY FOX……..ENOUGH
Don’t his followers wonder why the only people he chooses for the most important jobs in the country are ones he sees on tv? On just one channel? Surely even they must have a few questions?
I am so tired of the grifters, pedophiles and morally bankrupt scum that now run our country. It is all so stupid it hurts.
Good Lord, a supplements nutter
She’s got the MAL look! What else could she possibly need?
Fox news has become the Indeed for the trump administration
Her medical degree was gotten out of the US. She attended a sketchy af “medical school.” DeVry Inc now owns it.
Fox seems to be Trump's favorite employment agency
It's a fucking cast not a damn cabinet. Holy hell.
😂. Omg. Not again another unqualified person appointed to the administration 😵💫. It’s beyond logic at this point
Just another grifter and fraud. Right up Trumps alley.
Soon a government program will start issuing Patchouli oil with your voters registration card and snortable turmeric with your passport. The path toward holistic health is almost too easy.
Unqualified. Call Your Senators. Mears got knocked out, this TV pitch woman is vulnerable. Plus she win’t like the vitriol tossed at her. ☎️📞📱202-224-3121 Add fuel to the phone calls with @resist.bot Text ‘sign PJLCDY’ to 50409 resist.bot/petitions/PJ...
The beclowning of America continues unabated.
🤔 Yep, Another Wackjob Lunatic Trump Nominee for surgeon general. 🙄 Hell this one might even recommend a daily Racoon Penis or road kill meal.
The difference between Trump and George W. Bush is that, while both morons, one of them surrounded himself with smarter people.
Hmm...wonder what parsley and thyme do..?
So, another whacko. Screen shot all you can as you know that stuff is coming down. I will say she’s marginally an improvement since she was willing to say vaccines don’t cause autism. A low bar I realize.
So she’s even worse. No surprise there.
RFK jr is bad enough. We don't need a grifter who has been to medical school as Surgeon General.
They have already evidenced their antipathy towards evidence-based science in favour of ideological or financial gain. Can't say I'm surprised by this new development... Just wondering who's got "burn the witch" on their Trump bingo card?
Are you a highly successful grifter? Are you unqualified to do anything other than grift? Join the Trump administration*, where you can lie, cheat, and steal in ways you never dreamed of, with impunity!! *Blind unquestioning loyalty to the Grifter-in-Chief required. Ppl with spines need not apply.
Of course her credentials are fox news
Our government is a clown show. This regime needs to be ousted asap. We need serious people running our country again, too much damage is being done.
A medical doctor that doubts medical science, not surprising on Fox News but completely makes sense for a trump administration.
I'm deeply concerned by the proliferation of magical thinking in society today. I'm worried that I'm gonna turn on the news in twenty years and see the weatherman reading the entrails of birds, or have my doctor put ointment the knife I cut myself with.
I think anyone who uses the word "Tinctures" in any serious way needs to be examined by a properly qualified psychologist.
I never bothered to learn anything about Casey Means because I always assumed she was just Trump's manicurist.
1. Trump has nominated Dr. Nicole Saphier, a Fox News contributor, to be the next Surgeon General. She has an ardent history of anti-trans statements, and pushes detransition myths and hate. She calls trans youth a "national emergency." Subscribe to support our journalism.
2. being transgender a "fad" and a "trend" among youth, equating gender-affirming care with "promoting body dysmorphic disorder," and declaring that transgender youth constitute a mental health "national emergency." omny.fm/shows/wellne...
The entire fucking wellness industry needs to be regulated into oblivion.
What a hateful and wholly unqualified hack.
I confess, I assumed all the Trump choices are anti-trans.
What a surprise, another bigot crank who sells grift shit.
Becoming Surgeon General requires Senate confirmation, so I wrote to my two senators (and my rep, because why not) asking them to prevent her from becoming the next SG. I noted that as a transphobe, she would bring trauma and chaos to trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive people of all ages.
Primary any Democrat who votes to confirm this pile of garbage.
Having a medical license is the bare minimum, not a golden ticket. Intellectual dishonesty exists in medicine too, and Saphier is a prime example. She critiqued politicians from interfering in medicine, yet spent years as a maga mouthpiece. She wants to “protect children” but her boss is a PDF.
Of course the trump regime would put forth a transphobic Nazi quack.
Looks like she has a classic case of resting Nancy Mace face.
Trump: "Nicole Saphier. She's with Fox. Was with Fox. Isn't with Fox anymore, Peter. But she's great. She'll be the Surgeon General."
Oh she's from FOX, well then case closed! 🤡
He would have actually been better served if he’d chosen all his cabinet and senior appointments from the cast of Sesame Street.
🙄 Trumps pick for Surgeon General is Nicole Berardoni Saphier is a "radiologist" But mostly a Fox News talking head. She is featured as a regular guest/host on panel TV shows such as Fox & Friends, Outnumbered, Mornings with Maria, Hannity, The Big Weekend Show, Fox News Saturday Night and The Five.
Remind me not to get surgery in the next 3 years.
A completely unqualified snake oil peddler from TV. Who would have thought?🙄
'She's great, Peter. She's a titty doctor and you know how I like my titties.'
Trump owes his political career to FOX, and he's rewarding those individuals there as much as possible. You can also bet there is a direct pipeline of information sharing from Admin to FOX.
Dr. Fox is her new nickname, or so I'm told. 🙄
Never one word for his voters that can't buy beef or the vets wounded in his war.
Hiring from a propaganda network hasn’t gone well thus far. See: the drunk weekend host currently running the military into the ground.
our country is run by Foxnews boomers
It's time for that 4th cognitive test.
Let me guess. She's blond, loyal, and has boobs.🤡
After nominating someone with no medical license and wasting a year
I wish her the hearing in the Senate she deserves.
A graduate of ross uni easily medical school in Barbados! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_...
What are her qualifications? Oh... Right..
"Don't bug me when I'm making my mark, Peter."
Another FOX low life? WTF. What a shit show this administration is.
“I don’t know her, but she’ll be great”
Young, white, attractive female who's been on Fox. Checks all of Trump's boxes.
oh, she was with FOX…what could go wrong?
We should treat Fox news the same way we would a person yelling 'FIRE' in a crowded movie theatre.
What a disgrace to our country PLEASE, TELL USALL What are her Qualifications for SURGEON GENERAL
Trump's infamous Circle-Jerk Session. Blow-jobs all around.
So, now we know all we need to know about her—she’s with Fox, was with Fox, is great. Hmm.
Nicole Saphier another grifter and quack. She is better suited to play a doctor on "The Bold and the Beautiful" but not qualified to be Surgeon General.
Oh come on. It’s all just an evil prank to him.
I predicted she would get a WH job when she started working on Foxnews. That‘s all you have to do.
She was from Fox … So we don’t need to know her medical credentials…
Notice how Trump lit up talking about Saphier? I wonder why 🤔
And she's just as useless as Means
Never heard of Nicole Saphier, Trump’s new Surgeon General nominee, until today. I’m guessing a lot of us are about to become experts in the myriad ways in which she is unqualified. A cursory search alone is revealing. A person with no experience in public health should not be Surgeon General.
Let me guess: blonde, maha, Fox News, anti-vax
She’s a dangerous vaccine skeptic. Encouraging parents to delay shots or go for single shots etc so wrong. The wellness grift selling her snake oil “herbal tinctures” - no no and no She praised Trump in 2020 re his COVID pandemic management! Red flags Nauseating 👇🏼 www.youtube.com/shorts/PSxAu...
She’s blonde and on Fox voila qualified
Could've been worse, could've been Ladapo.
I mean, she HAS a medical license, unlike Means. So…improvement? Kinda?
Her medical degree is from barbados.
She seems to follow the ''we should all get healthy and stop getting ill'' belief.
So far i know 2 things about her, she works at FOX and has no experience. Both are immediately disqualifying.
I’m sure she will be just as bad. But it’s still a win that the other nominee was kicked to the curb. That means public pressure is having an impact.
Her wikipedia says she was named 2019's Top Radiologist of the Year by the International Association of Top Professionals. Their notable members page (www.iaotp.com/notable) includes Scott Baio, Scott Baio's wife Renee, and Scott Baio's daughter Bailey (for Junior Golfer). Three Baios.
Well, she's part of the infect-all-the-kids-all-the-time Urgency of Normal gang, so.... h/t @benecal.bsky.social www.urgencyofnormal.com/our-statement
He’s running out of Fox hosts to hire….
Pro tip: Anyone Trump nominee will be highly unqualified.
Exclusive: Trump’s new pick for surgeon general is a Fox News contributor who once tried to trademark “Make America Healthy Again.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Um...isn't a surgeon general SUPPOSED to be ... qualified in medical experience or something 🤔
That 💯 tracks with this administration’s priorities: self enrichment all day everyday
Can’t hack it as a “journalist” be a Hack at the WH in DC. Journalist used loosely as it is Fox.
Trump is such a shallow oxygen waste. He’s always looking first for how folks LOOK - not qualifications.
I just f’n can’t with that.
What happened to the former Surgeon General ??
Trump has withdrawn the nomination of not a practicing Dr Casey Means. He has replaced her with Fox personality Dr Nicole Saphier, a radiologist. She is anti-medical care for Americans & believes MAHA & other bullshit RFK Jr pushes is all Americans need. She supports RFK Jr & Oz eugenics philosophy
Who knew one country could come up with so many incompetent assholes to run their country on a moment’s notice? 🇺🇸💩🕳️
Of course he did. It's all about dismantling everything, per the Heritage White Supremacist Foundation Manifesto. 😏
The only criteria for Trump nominees is being on FOX
Saphier is a dangerous lunatic. When the Delta variant of Covid first emerged and presented a greater risk to children, she demanded children not be masked in school. She's just another Republican maniac who gambles with lives of children to score political points on Fox News.
