After Trump wants to place the fate of the United States in the hands of extreme hardliners, he took the time on Thursday to extensively celebrate his election victory. In addition to his regular guest Elon Musk, a Hollywood celebrity was also present this time.
In the latest sensational appointment of posts for his Cabinet, newly elected US President Donald Trump has appointed anti-vaccination activist and conspiracy theory spreader Robert F. Kennedy Jr. nominated as the new Minister of Health.
“I think you’re going to do incredible things,” Trump told Kennedy at a gala event at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida on Thursday. Argentine President Javier Milei also took part.
Trump pays tribute to anti-vaxxers who are supposed to manage health
Billionaire Elon Musk, who holds a government position, and Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone also came. Commenting on Kennedy’s nomination, Trump said on his online platform Truth Social that American citizens have been oppressed for far too long by “the food industrial complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, disinformation and disinformation when it comes to public health.”
Kennedy will lead the Department of Health and Human Services, which is tasked with protecting American citizens from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides and harmful pharmaceuticals.
Very controversial personnel decisions
Kennedy’s appointment is part of a series of controversial personnel decisions by Trump, who in recent days has introduced several candidates for key ministerial posts whose suitability appears questionable. The 70-year-old scion of the famous Kennedy dynasty has made headlines in the past with absurd claims and stories.
Nominations must be approved by the U.S. Senate. Since the November 5 congressional elections, Trump’s Republican Party once again has the majority of seats there.
Conspiracy theories now socially acceptable?
US health authorities have become “puppets of the industry they are supposed to regulate,” Kennedy said in a recently published video. His top priority will be “cleaning up the public health authorities.” Kennedy, who has no scientific training for the Ministry of Health, spread conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 vaccines developed in the US during the corona pandemic.
He also caused controversy by opposing the continued addition of fluoride to drinking water in the United States – a measure against tooth decay seen as a major achievement in the United States. In early August, he irritated people with the story that ten years ago he had picked up a dead black bear from the street and then dumped it in New York’s Central Park.
Milei: “Greatest political comeback in history”
Argentine head of state Milei called Trump’s re-election as US president the “greatest political comeback in history.” Trump defied the “entire political establishment” at the “risk of his life,” Milei said in Florida. Milei posed for photos with the US president-elect and Musk, whom Trump has appointed to head a new efficiency department. He is the first foreign leader Trump has met since his re-election.
Action star Stallone called Trump a “mythical figure” at Mar-a-Lago. Trump himself joked about the ubiquitous Musk: “He loves this place, I can’t get him out of here.”
