Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jrs relationship with the White House has become non-existent, fueling speculation that he could be the next member of President Donald Trumps cabinet to get the ax, according to a report. Kennedy, the de facto face of the so-called Make America Healthy Again movement, has become a polarizing figure at the Department of Health and Human Services.
Rumors have been swirling for months that Trump has had it with Kennedy, according to Puck News, while the MAHA Action group is said to be despondent over Kennedys diminished standing inside the White House, the outlet reports, citing a source who works with the movement.
Part of the frustration reportedly stems from criticism that the health secretary has undermined longstanding vaccine policies, which have generated a slew of negative headlines, as well as carrying out draconian cuts to the department.
Several sources told the publication that Kennedys remaining time in office is limited. Some said that he could go after the midterms, while others said he could in the coming months.

Expect to see wholesale defenestrations with more christo-fascist con artists rising to the top of the trump cesspool.

(23,028 posts)He's a knee jerk kind of guy who does whatever pops into his head at the time. He appoints unqualified people to jobs just because they say nice things about him. But he's quick to can them if they make him look bad. Which isn't hard to do when said people are grossly unqualified and their boss is a complete moron.

(61,215 posts)The problem is Trump will not blame the "strongest military in the world" not will he blame himself for initiating a war of choice.
Instead, he is arguing that everything was necessary to bring about the greatest Iran deal ever. That has been what he is saying even as the ceasefire itself is very shaky. He does not care that every expert has written that in spite of leaders killed and extensive bombing, Iran is more powerful that before Netanyahu and Trump initiated this war of choice by killing many of their leaders.
This is the reality TV President and to him all that needs to happen is to have his media chorus echo his unbelievable story and to do more to silence any dissent.
