“I promise not to sell snake oil, or swag booze like that other 🤡 nominee.”

I mean really why would tfg’s team care. Tfg isn’t going to stop sales of anything. In reality if anything happens they will transfer over stuff to their spouses. Oz may not make ads but I’m sure he will help companies like his to sell even more quack medicine.

Trump and his entire grifting family never stop their bullshit.

Once confirmed, they’ll reconsider their options.

What value is there in a promise from a lying, grifting, corrupt snake oil salesman who has turned to politics? FFS.

steer policy and programs in ways that benefit the corporations financially.

...to participate in his fucking fantasy austerity "department." There are like 14 billionaires in this cabinet who ain't giving up shit when it comes to their outside interests, so why do emoluments/conflicts matter in this ONE case and no other?

Back when Trump was "elected" in 2016, the very first thing the GOP did was dismiss the emoluments clause so he could take office. I knew in that very instant that was just the beginning of all this precedent-breaking, norm-destroying bullshit, and it's only snowballed from there.

... why would he stop? Trump still hawks his business... well, I guess "Dr Oz" will find ways to make far bigger bucks. How about sleeping potion spokesperson Mike Hucklabee? Will he continue to sell the sleeping pills, or will he get a bigger contract?

What a load of cr@p

... the damage has already been done. Any product, method or technique this "Oz" has promoted, shilled or sold would be give a greater authenticity if he were to hold an official position.

Too many would be likely to believe his previous positions or lies if he is given a position in charge of such important programs, Medicare and Medicaid, for the poor, the elderly and the middle class.

Oz doesn't deserve such a position, like trump he's a simple medicine show salesman.

If not fucking things up through sheer incompetence and inexperience.

that equals "business" to the GOP, and thus apparently needing a (schlock) "businessman" to run the thing.

The Surgeon General isn't operating anything really "financial".

45 already nominated a "TV Doctor" - Janette Nesheiwat - for Surgeon General.

(as a sidenote, I remember when CMS was HCFA - Health Care Finance Administration - then was changed to the "Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)" under Shrub)

It never stops, they just find another way to do it.

We’re so far past unseemly now.

Why should Oz feel compelled not to hawk shit?

In end stage capitalism everything is for sale.

Expecting credit by promising to do something that is normal and ethical.

Sure.

If you believe him, I've got a nice can of snake oil to sell you!

Trump's wife is still out there advertising her Christmas ornaments. Trump, even though the election is over is still begging for money. Why should he have to give up his side hustle since haven't and will not stop theirs?

"Really, really. Cross my heart and hope you di--I mean, hope to die."

Difference will that make when you have trump and everyone else raping the programs they are in charge of, he might as well grift with the rest.

JFC.............

him.

He now reminds me of those 1 hour long, sales presentations that they try to camo as being a medical discussion when instead, it's just an hour-long sales hype.

along with thousands of other TFG cohorts.....

there is an assumption that adopting the title will engender the recipient with enhanced morals, a new approach to life, and enhanced intelligence.

It's a false assumption Republicans practise every day.

An alcoholic given an important position will just drink more.

A snake oil salesman given an important position will just try to sell more snake oil.

And a nutcase will just drink more unpasteurised milk.

This is a real conflict and Oz needs to divest

I'm sure Oz's "promises" will be just as meaningful as promises made by any other soon-to-be--officials in the upcomingTrump administration. IOW, they're worthless.
