Putin makes daily nuclear threats against the US. Yet Trump continues to surrender to Putin. This is very strange.

RFK Jr. has more or less called the first Trump term a failed administration. Folks often say Trump is filling his cabinet with loyalists. But disloyalty toward the existing government might be even more important than loyalty to Trump. 🧪 #medsky
One of the main qualifications for Trump's cabinet picks this time around seems to be total disrespect and distrust for the agency they've been tasked to run. RFK Jr. certainly has no regard for the American healthcare system. He often suggests the FDA is simply a tool of the pharmaceutical industry
