pharmaceutical companies probably made some lucrative deals with Trump to be pro vaccine. This guy learned from first hand why he should not suck up to a guy who worships money and power
I would love nothing more than for this to be true and to hit that one RFK fan we have on lemmy with it, but the article doesn't really give much evidence to support the title.
If you think RFK's whiplash is bad, wait until Musk finds out Trump has no more need for him either.
Musk has money to give Trump
Musk doesn't want to give money to Trump.
Must wanted Trump elected so he could make his self driving systems road legal for robotaxis. He's hoping to get all that money back and then some. If he gets what he wants, he'll be most of the way towards being a trillionaire.
But Trump is not a man who pays his debts and I'm here for the inevitable betrayal.
Also, he doesn’t want Trump to ban EVs, or otherwise put up roadblocks to their adoption.
Didn't Musk find that out the first time too? He was advising Trump in 2016 and had a falling out after Trump left the Paris climate agreement.
But bear meat stocks are at an all time high
I see nothing in the article that indicates Trump himself feels this way. What his "advisors" think is irrelevant.
The advisors are what makes this time different from last time. This time, they have a plan. Turnip loves when other people come up with plans, because he can't.
This is legit the best political news this week by a wide margin. It’s still gonna fucking suck but at least we won’t have to worry about fucking polio on top of it
Kentucky voted to keep public taxpayer dollars from going to private schools.
It's not much, but it's a small win for us.
Yup, Missouri voted to allow abortion again. It isn't much either, another small win. That was completely negated when they overwhelmingly voted for the man that will ban it nationally.
Let's see if that even matters. Red States have a history of ignoring votes like that.
Good work Kentucky! I don’t get to say this enough but I’m proud of you.

It's definitely a big relief. Here I was expecting the US to throw out a century of medical advancements and halt all vaccine research, which is not only very bad for the US, but leaves a lot of other countries in the lurch (fortunately at least for Australia, our first mRNA vaccine manufacturing plant should be online next year).

He doesn't need RFK to run the FDA, because Trump is going to just scuttle it entirely.
Science bad! Doctors bad! Let the drug companies do what they want! Freedumb y'all!
Wait a second, you mean Trump just used the guy and is now dropping him like a half-eaten Big Mac? I am shocked. SHOCKED, I say.
Don’t be ridiculous.
Trump would never eat only half a Big Mac
He already ate 3 full ones. This is the remnants of the 4th.
Half eaten salad? No, he'd never eat any of a salad. Not enough cholesterol.

Lest anyone think this is about policy or even politics - it ain't.
This is about the wrong guy getting the headlines. Simple as.
Broken clock. But honestly this is for the best old brain worm is insane.

Imagine thinking a Donald Trump promise holds any value
Him not following through on shit is all the hope I have left.
Donald Trump's promises are a solid as the water they're written on.
As solid as the bowel movements in his diaper.

As a nearly 80 year old man who is likely eating a fistful of pills every morning, he might want to ensure that the FDA is still regulating that stuff.
You don't really need that if you have access to money. You just get a real doctor, not one of the quacks that you drag out for political theater to appease the ignorant conspiracy loving base.
US drugs unsafe? import them from europe or directly from the pharmaceutical company that makes them.
The only people who get fucked by these decisions are the "normal" people without great wealth or connections.

Nobody wants JFK Jr in charge of their health, not even Trump and they knew it from the start. But good to see.

So we're past the "big tent" stage and to the "Stabbing in the back" stage.
That took what like a quarter of a mooch?
Just wait until him and Elon get at each others' throats.
Grifter got used and dumped. You serve no purpose anymore.
Well I got to say I'm relieved that he's backstabbing the right people... So far. Well honestly anybody they'd be counted as backstabbing I wouldn't mind.
First they came for RFK jr and I did nothing because I'm not a brain worm...
Then they came for the boot licking senators, and I did nothing because I'm not a boy licking senator.
Then they came for people I cared about and by that time I was prepared because I know they are coming for me
I'm not a boy licking senator
This isn't even a typo!
Mike Johnson’s porn alert just went off.
