Trump Is Appointing TV Quack Dr. Oz to a Health Post in His Administration

Donald Trump literally plans to appoint Dr. Oz, a once-brilliant surgeon who now hawks false cures and nonsense diets on TV, to a council on sports, nutrition, and fitness.

Oz will be joining the President’s Council on Sport, Fitness, and Nutrition for a term of two years alongside New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and others.

Arnold was on President Bush Sr’s council, so some people think that it’s a worthy position... and a worthy cause.

He’ll probably change the food pyramid and put raspberry ketones and green coffee extract at the top.

He might as well appoint fellow queef Dr. Mercola while he’s at it.

Dr. Oz is still a snake oil salesmen. Peddles BS diet and nutrition advice.

He sold out the ethics of medicine for a quick buck.

Another bad decision by Trump.

“For those who’ve been paying attention, this appointment isn’t entirely surprising. Trump has a habit of picking the exact wrong person for any given job. Like Rick Perry to run the agency he couldn’t remember, Scott Pruitt to be in charge of the agency he sued multiple times while attorney general, and Betsy DeVos to manage a public education system she’s helped destroy in her home state of Michigan.”

We must thank Oprah for Dr. Oz.

Last week, ten top physicians called for Dr. Oz to be removed from Columbia's faculty list because he has "repeatedly shown disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine."

Louie "20 Dollars Motherfücker" Ferrigno is now part of it.

Anyway, this may have been a noble appointment years ago, now it's just a popularity contest :shrug:. If a tv doctor gets some house frau to add a little broccoli to the plate, it's a good thing.
