Lol, that was quick. Effectively, “Thanks for your supporters but we’ll be fine without you”.

    Kentucky voted to keep public taxpayer dollars from going to private schools.

    It's not much, but it's a small win for us.

    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

    Half eaten salad? No, he'd never eat any of a salad. Not enough cholesterol.

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

    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.

    Lest anyone think this is about policy or even politics - it ain't.

    This is about the wrong guy getting the headlines. Simple as.

    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!

    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 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.

    I'm kind of surprised because Tesla and Trumpnis pro coal and gas. Is Elon eating his own face? Or is he willing to cannibalize Tesla because he has government contracts and Trump will probably hand him any government contract he wants?

    Musk has most of his wealth in Tesla stock. That will skyrocket if his substandard self-driving tech is allowed to be used in unattended autonomous taxis.

    Instead of selling cars, he'll sell a service. Instead of selling a car costing $40,000, each car will make that in a few months.

    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

    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.

    Trump? He actually believes they work. He made sure he got vaccinated. He just knows he can pander with it.

    I see nothing in the article that indicates Trump himself feels this way. What his "advisors" think is irrelevant.

    I guess we now know how crazy you have to be for Trump not to want you around. Like "WORM ATE MY BRAIN" crazy.

    Hopefully the doublecross comes soon and they hang him out to dry before they get into office.
