Trump yanks Dr. Janette Nesheiwats nomination for surgeon general and announces new pick

WASHINGTON — President Trump yanked his nomination of Dr.Janette Nesheiwat to be the next US surgeon general, opting instead to elevate someone with “impeccable ‘MAHA’ credentials.”“I am pleased to announce that Dr.

Casey Means, will be nominated as our next Surgeon General of the United States of America,” Trump posted on Truth Social Wednesday, bumping Nesheiwat to a separate role at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).“Casey has impeccable ‘MAHA’ credentials, and will work closely with our wonderful Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F.Kennedy, Jr., to ensure a successful implementation of our Agenda in order to reverse the Chronic Disease Epidemic, and ensure Great Health, in the future, for ALL Americans,” the president said.“Her academic achievements, together with her life’s work, are absolutely outstanding,” he went on.

“Dr.Casey Means has the potential to be one of the finest Surgeon Generals in United States History.

Congratulations to Casey!”Nesheiwat is the sister-in-law of Mike Waltz, who was relieved of duty as national security adviser last week, only to be nominated as the next US ambassador to the UN.Casey Means is the sister of Calley Means, a former political lobbyist-turned-health advocate, and the two co-authored the book “Good Energy” in 2024, which received rave reviews from MAHA acolytes as well as media figures including Tucker Carlson.Calley Means currently serves in HHS as a special government employee — and revealed in an interview with Carlson that he was instrumental in connecting Kennedy and Trump following the 45th and 47th president’s survival of an assassination attempt on the campaign trail in Butler, Pa., last July.This is a breaking story.Please check back for updates....
