President Trump was known for keeping his employees stirred up during his time in the private sector, with a few exceptions, so I suppose it’s not entirely surprising that another chunk is falling off the airplane administration in that he’s losing, or getting rid of, his Food and Drugs Administration Commissioner:
Marty Makary resigned as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday, stepping aside amid a swirl of reports that his tenure was coming to an end over internal policy disagreements. …
CBS News and other outlets had reported in recent days that President Trump had signed off on a plan to fire him. Makary didn’t appear Monday in the Oval Office alongside the president and other top public health officials for an event on maternal health.
The thing about firing and reassigning and all that crap is that along with new responsibilities comes training and/or learning on the job, which takes time and money, both of which can be in short supply, especially given Trump’s tendency to spend on ego-gratification.
And then there’s this appalling little report from MS NOW:
A little more than an hour later, Trump posted what appears to be Makary’s resignation text to the president on his Truth Social account.
“It’s been the honor of a lifetime to serve as your FDA Commissioner,” the note said. “I am forever grateful.”
Ugh. Either the guy has no balls or it’s all a hoax.
