Trump's Health Secretary Nominee is an Establishment Big Pharma Exec: His close ties to this industry doesn't fare well for the opiate crisis or the general health of Americans. Reliance on pharmaceuticals will increase as these corporations become further enmeshed with the US government.

This is the shit people should be hitting Trump on, not his Twitter.

It's almost as if the media is manufacturing outrage to obfuscate the real corruption happening behind the scenes...

Tbh the real corruption is too hard to follow for the average person.
The average person can't really tell you what Carl Icahn when he was in the whitehouse did and how it was extremely illegal.

Case and point why the whole "the media hates him!" is nothing more than elaborate theater.

But yes draining the swamp! Ha

Oh, goodie. Big pharma getting itself even more entangled with the government. Where's all the outrage for THIS? I guess faux outrage for whatever the media tells you to be outraged about like Pavlov's dog is more important.

I agree, this is a big deal (and totally in line with what he has been doing - making sure there's a conflict of interest in every dept) but this was all over the news on Monday. Every major network reported on it. I think it's easy to blame the media every time, but let's not forget that we as consumers tend to navigate toward juicy stories and the media accommodates.

The ever-reliable revolving door between politics and the private sector in action.
