Holy shit he appointed some guy he saw on television to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This is why we're the laughing stock of the world right now.

I've been personally trying to get your attention all day. Your support in signing and sharing this has been requested. We small accounts? We are TRUE activists and we're 32 signatures away from reaching McConnell a 2nd time! Calling to activism!!! https://chng.it/m6BFpm4Dtz
It’s true America is regarded as a failing enterprise now. The UK is already planning to ditch the ‘special relationship’ in favour of better trade relations with Europe. US will still have friends among the fascist-adjacent countries, but they are mostly politically unstable.
Holly shit, MAGA Americans elected, again, some guy they saw on Television for President and this is why we’re the laughing stock of the world right now.
When you start with “at least” you’re trying to normalize the abnormal. I KNOW billing codes. That doesn’t make me qualified to run the biggest department under HHS. He has ZERO admin/gov experience and is NOT qualified to run ANY Gov Department! 45 is putting loyalists in that WILL destroy it.
Didn't mean to attack you but with fascism coming, words matter. Being aware that Medicare/Medicaid pays MDs & hospitals is NOT knowing HOW to run it BUT THAT is the point. NO ONE 45 puts in will be there to make it work better. It's ALL to tear it apart so DON'T capitulate on ANY of it OR them!
Why the surprise? I’m not shocked, and neither should anyone else! We’re caught in his disastrous TV reality show, and things are bound to deteriorate further.
Much worse than laughing stock. It’s literally like watching some idiot-hate virus unravelling modern civilization. It’s quite unreal watching this from Canada and I fear we aren’t far behind. Social media has really rotted our collective brains. Everyone thinks they are right about everything.
i'm also really anxious about what Russia is gonna do come 20 jan... I only live about 3000 km away from Ukraine. IF and when given the chance, he's gonna come after the entirety of europe... but how important will the location of Nato HQ be, in his deranged plan... the world is a shitshow
What did you expect from a fool who has a steady diet of McDonald's and television instead of books seminars and meetings with experts on critical topics?
It goes to show tRump is NOT capable of complex, critical thinking, is NOT emotionally or intellectually mature, beyond that of a twelve year old's level AND places notoriety and celebrity over notability and reality.
Surprised?
Its all a part of his (sorry) excellent way of media coverage. He is preparing for next term (he will, don’t kid yourself). Ordinary man pick (dick in Swedish) ordinary people. What voters want
It’s a loyalty test for republicans, is anyone going to push back and put country over party? It’s also a purity test for trump, “see what I did for you, daddy Putin?”
It's a genius-level approach based solely on name recognition, not qualifications. We've just learned an abject & painful lesson in the inherently American tendency to refute substance when making our electoral decisions. Same thing here. Popular for the wrong reasons still = popular.
It's funny. I'm the kind of PR person that doesn't believe that 'all press is good press', yet we're seeing proof of concept play out in real time with the highest stakes imaginable.
It is certainly on the list. But blaming Trump for all of America's failings? That act in itself is another great reason. Hyper-partisan politics is a warning of impending societal failure. Not a status game.
"President-elect Donald Trump has nominated celebrity physician Mehmet Oz to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), as the "Dr. Oz" TV personality could deliver significant changes to the government health care system that would impact millions."
A very unethical clueless, so-called celebrity medical doctor. It's really unnerving that we as a country allowed this imbecile at the wheel of the nation again. I shutter at what the future holds and the irreparable damage he will do.
Coming from an Aussie, its beyond a laughing stock now, its full on disbelief and horror that its actually real and over 300 million people will now be at the mercy of a mentally deranged tyrant hell bent on revenge
Absolutely:
Based on the President elect previous term of self serving actions and his obvious lack of concern for Our Country’s laws. It should have been obvious the individual in question Shouldn’t have convinced half Our Country electorate to give him a second chance to HARM Our Country.
There are no qualified conservatives. They are all fakes. Never hire one if you have an important job that needs done. They will fuck it up then blame you for it.
Watching all this from outside the US, I wonder if you in America understand what is happening. This has all the initial moves of a classic coup d’etat. Suppression of the Legislature, takeover of the Judiciary, and appointment of corrupt officials to departments of government. Be warned.
And then to follow; internment of “so called” illegal aliens, but will include anyone they wish, use of the military to impose law & order. Voila, mission accomplished.
RFK is going to lead the USDA. I'm worried that I'm going to lose my home now. My husband and I are both disabled and rely on Social Security and are on Medicare. I've never been this frightened before. Scared to death and sure that our country is teetering on the brink of disaster.
That is not what I am seeing. The world has toughened up. Trudeau (friend of Bidens) stands against Trumpism. NATO is prepared to help keep the boogeyman away while our nation is vulnerable. China is losing contracts. The world is aware. Oz wants a 20%increase from everyone’s wages for Medicare. Ha!
You've been the laughing stock of the world since he won in 2016, yeah Canada may have a drama teacher leading it but at least he's not a goddamn reality tv show host who shits himself in public.
I'm thinking that if we're traveling out of the US, maybe we need some discrete way to communicate that we're not part of the tiny majority of Americans who voted for him. Maybe, at practically every opportunity, we say "Oh, by the way, I don't want an orange."
Making the USA government as ignorant and weak as possible seems like preparation for handing democratic country over to a hostile enemy nation wanting a change in world order like IDK… Russia? China? Saudi Arabia?… A country that the current US President elect is indebted to and compromised by 🤷♀️
We might be laughing, but only because if we weren't laughing, we'd be crying. It's so horrible seeing a friend and ally reduced to this state. Hopefully sanity will prevail in the end. Stay safe 🙏
Sorry to break it to you but your country became a laughing stock to the rest of the world a long time ago,the fact that your country chose to value guns over school kids back when Sandyhook happened & the fact you sent most of the world to wage war in the middle east based on lies,didn't help.
Ummm not just this… there’s the Jan 6 2020 insurrection that nobody high up served time for. The endlessly calls about election fraud ..when GOP is behind, MAGA in General, the fact that we voted him back in.. there are lots of reasons we are the laughing stocks..this is just the most recent..
Imagine how it's lost our citizens. Take it a step further, think about how it's celebrated by a certain segment of the population. Talk about the qualifications of cabinet picks, Criminal. Even a segment of our population celebrates that, but hates DEI, affirmative action & social justice.
Yep, that's got a lot to do with it. The rest of the world is scratching their heads, wondering why you don't have any laws about such things. Or people to enforce laws, if so.
IGNORE carnival barker DON the CONvicted FELON's noise. Do your best work around him, locally, where you live and learn and grow. There's power in numbers as 'buyer's remorse' drags down swaths of his CULT who realize they screwed up BIGLY.
DJT lacks intellectual capacity to compete with reason.
That’s what I was thinking when he got reelected. The world leaders that have to deal with him again. They’re going to have to go through the motions like he is a functioning adult when in fact he is a psychopath.
We are definitely puzzling to the rest of the world. I am around a number of immigrants on a regular basis and they wonder how America got taken over by a conman.
Here's the thing. I think the Senate should approve all his appointments. That's how American voters would learn not to vote clearly unqualified candidates.

"I want that one!"
Trump thinks it's just a reality show!

Sorry to every 💙, but the average US American voter is dumb as a brick. How was that even a race?
(aura + allegory + Arcadia + antimony) and it's the effect of name recognition on the psyche....
You will, sooner or later, become a threat form within, a traitor, a 'propagandist' and a military target.
Not one haha to be had.

Canada and Mexico....
"That Dr. Oz really is a smart guy isn't he? He should be in charge of the CDC!"
*Assigns him to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services instead*
No other country is this dysfunctional! A convicted felon in charge of that group of paint-chip eaters…in the most critical positions…
I have friends in almost every time zone…they ask me “what the fuck is wrong with you people”?
It's only EVER about arse kissing and what he calls "loyalty".
None of these are appointments. We need to stop normalizing rule by decree.
Dr Who?
And we're not laughing at all over here, we're holding our breath..
