Another top Trump regime official has abruptly quit or I should say was forced to resign under the threat of being immediately fired.
The Trump regime in full collapse.
It seems not a week passes where there is not another termination
of a major official or cabinet member.
The latest to quit or to be forced to resign, Dr. Marty Makary, who is the FDA commissioner.
The reason that he was forced to resign was that he did not support apparently Donald Trump's push to help the tobacco industry by authorizing additional flavored vapes
to be marketed to children.
Now, let's be very clear, Dr. Marty Makary, not a good guy, a massive anti-vaxxer, a massive conspiracy theorist who pushed lies and propaganda and who was a major threat
to science, to health, to the American public at large.
He's one of the people who was largely responsible with RFK Jr.
and Donald Trump in changing the vaccine schedule.
But the last straw for him in the Trump regime had nothing to do with any of that.
It was that he was like, do we really have to advertise flavored vapes to children?
And Donald Trump was like, yeah, my buddies in the tobacco industry, they want children to have flavored vapes.
So shut up and approve it.
And Macari was like, I don't wanna do it.
And so that was it for Donald Trump.
And Trump was like, see you later, you need to resign immediately.
And so Donald Trump then put Macari through a humiliation ritual.
Donald Trump made, to make an example out of Macari, Trump made Macari text message him his resignation.
