Trump signs off on plan to fire FDA Commissioner Marty Makary
President Trump signed off on a plan to fire Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary, the Wall Street Journal reports. The decision follows repeated clashes between Makary and the administration over vaping regulation, abortion pill access, vaccine policy, and disputes over drug approvals. Makary is a practicing physician who led the FDA through several high-profile, contentious policy decisions and has not been publicly replaced. Removing Makary would shift control of FDA priorities on drug and vaccine approvals and signal increased White House influence over the agency's regulatory direction.
"Trump became frustrated with Makary for not moving fast enough to approve flavored vapes. Makary refused to authorize blueberry and mango vape flavors from LA manufacturer Glas, worried they would encourage youth vaping. After the pressure from Trump, he reversed course and authorized the flavors."
Fu_Trump_ck105Somehow, Trump is getting paid by the vape industry.
Sam59There isn't one ethical bone between all of them in this entire administration.
Middlerage38How much did Trump get paid to make that happen? 🙄
LazyWriter26The irony of the flavor being mango 😂
justicetoall.bsky.social ⚖️️😻💙25Hmm..What did Trump get out of this..Or his family/sycophant contributors???? 🤔 shorturl.at/cd9k8
Ned Pyle17A little wimp who still got fired no matter how little a wimp he made himself be
rogeralien.bsky.social15The-most corrupt administration in American history
BBQ Rich8Weren’t flavored vapes banned under Trump 1? Definitely another grift going on.
saganleft2soon.bsky.social8mmm.... keeping my job vs. ensuring the vape industry will not recruit a new army of kids who will be sicker and die earlier.
Chris Fredda 🩷💜💙7Even when you give into Trump, you’re punished for not doing it fast enough or thanking him for it.
TheSnarkTank6I did my general surgery residency with Marty. I love this for him.
T-Fish🇨🇦🍁5As usual, follow the money
myurbanlife.bsky.social5This people just don’t stand for anything.
Black cat army4Now we know what flavor Baron likes.
😳4Hmmmm wonder why Trump was so set on approving flavored vapes
Aaron Hart4Trumps ok with killing people
Edward R. Murrow-ish 🎙️3Another Tramp toady neglecting to genuflect and obey. Big surprise. Wonder how much Tramp is pocketing for the vape biz.
Wildling3How much did Glas contribute to campaign, inauguration, or ballroom?
🎶RBV🎶3Who owns the company? And how much did they pay Trump?
Rich3Cowards - all of them
atrisk.bsky.social2This is exactly what you get when you have a business man as president. He doesn’t care he doesn’t even think he’s gonna be there much longer. He’s like whatever happens happens as long as I’m making money who cares. They’re dictators in their business and I’m not even saying that’s bad.
TEXAS2It's almost as if there was some kind of agreement to approve the vaping flavors! Just saying!
Gollypop2Trump was the one who banned flavored vapes
Jon Pelican2If it will kill people, psychopath Trump has time for it and is all in for it.
Rudy 🇨🇦2"The doctor, a MAHA advocate, has had a tumultuous tenure" = did not kiss ass and the ring. WSJ is a piece of shit.
Sister Curry 2Guess we'll be hearing soon about a new T*^$# business venture. "Celebrate the 250th anniversary of the US with a refreshing Trump eCig. Our founding fathers loved their tobacco. We're bringing that spirit to the 21st century! No red dye so it's 100% MAHA compliant."
Todd2Is this part of the plan to Make America Healthy Again?
Trump has signed off on a plan to fire FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary.
TheSnarkTank17I trained with Marty. He was always quick to take credit and slow to take responsibility. I love this for him.
PatriotResist15Everything Trump touches dies. Pity this doctor gave up his job at Johns Hopkins to have his name ruined for life. Not very smart.
Jerome Čop9So which unqualified TV host is going to take their spot?
richardawa.bsky.social3Another Fox reporter need a job?
CC3Lawsuits against these crooks are going to be as tall as the clouds.
Q: "Are you planning to fire Marty Makary?" Trump: "I've been reading about it, but I know nothing about it."
Alison12He’s been “reading about it but knows nothing about it”….
Jack L.11(Stolen from elsewhere on the intertubes) TRUMP DECODED: When Trump says, "I know nothing about it." He knows everything about it. Whenever Trump says, "I know everything about it." He knows nothing about it.
Andy5Can y’all do a supercut of him saying “I don’t know” or “I don’t know anything about it”? Maybe it’s just me, but shouldn’t the president know things?
ssnoel.bsky.social3Umm, what DO you know???
bershod.bsky.social3Nice to have a president WHO KNOWS NOTHING
Kuhlcat ❌️👑🇺🇦🇺🇸🏳️🌈2For once, he speaks the truth 😂
SUEDEI 🇺🇸🔥🗽💜💙🌊2Incompetent, he knows nothing but is surrounded by advisors & people who get reports, and he still knows nothing, but if you ask a ballroom question, he is well informed.
