Trump ousts Shulkin at VA, taps White House physician

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump said Wednesday he is removing Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary David Shulkin and tapping White House physician Adm. Ronny Jackson as his replacement, ending weeks of uncertainty at the embattled agency.

Trump announced the decision on Twitter, a move that caps off a stunning fall for Shulkin, who had once been among Trump’s favorite Cabinet secretaries.

“I am pleased to announce that I intend to nominate highly respected Admiral Ronny L. Jackson, MD, as the new Secretary of Veterans Affairs,” Trump tweeted.

The president thanked Shulkin for “service to our country and to our GREAT VETERANS” and said that Robert Wilkie, the under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness, would serve as interim VA secretary until Jackson is confirmed.

Replaced him with his proctologist.

1. Intends to nominate? Confirmation hearings??

While he cannot disclose any patient information, the questioning and answers given could be interesting

3. The questions write themselves

1) Did you weigh the President or just take the weight given?
2) Was a potential position discussed before the physical?
3) Do yous, as a doctor, really think the President is very healthy?

2. Replaced him with his proctologist.

Who obviously knew where to kiss.

and, given where Trump's head is most of the time, may have other helpful skills.
