Trump specifically appointed him because he's a doctor who doesn't believe in medical science. Now, they've gotten rid of him because he doesn't believe in medical science.

This seems to be the difference between incompetence and corruption. He wants to deny new medicines and reduce the use of vaccines because he's incompetent.

They want him to reduce the use of vaccines because it's politically expedient, and to approve new drugs likely because that is also politically expedient. So, they're simply corrupt. I think if we look, we'll see a clear money trail.

Trump should resign. He is corrupt. I've seen this guy, I'm telling you. He's corrupt. He might be the most corrupt guy in the world, and the best golfer, probably ever

And that is why he will not resign. But can’t deny the fact that he’s a great golfer, best ever and ever.

You've never seen golfing like this.
