In a surprising turn of events, President Trump's latest pick for Surgeon General has sparked backlash from the MAGA community. After a series of controversial nominees, including Maha Rahman and Janette Nesheiwat, it seems the President is facing pushback from his own base.

Casey Means, a well-known advocate for holistic health, was rumored to be the front runner for the position before Trump unexpectedly announced Nicole Shanahan, the wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as his pick. Shanahan's ties to the Kennedys and her stance on vaccinations have left many in the conservative community questioning Trump's decision.

Meanwhile, critics are concerned about the politicization of the Surgeon General position, traditionally seen as a nonpartisan role focused on public health. With the appointment of Shanahan, it appears that Trump is once again breaking with conventions.

As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Trump's choice for Surgeon General will impact public health policy and the administration's response to the ongoing pandemic.
