Trump's former VA pick will not return as his personal physician

Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson will reportedly not return to his role as President Trump's personal physician after he withdrew his nomination for Veterans Affairs (VA) secretary following numerous allegations of improper behavior.

Two senior White House officials told Politico that Jackson will not continue on as Trump's doctor, and will be permanently replaced by Sean Conley, a Navy officer who had filled in for Jackson last month.

The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.

Jackson, who also served as White House physician under both former President Obama and Trump, was tapped by Trump to serve as the VA secretary following his dismissal of the agency's previous head, David Shulkin.

Trump will have to find someone else to bullshit him about his health.

He very much agrees with trump rw philosophy . His office is very close to the president's residence in the WH . I did not know that
Referred to him as a modern day Groom of the Stool type
Trump had his ear and he had trumps confidence
Good riddance

2. Maybe... but given he'd worked for Bush* and Obama, I'd bet he would have developed

very good "non-partisan" type approaches and attitudes. Most ethical high level Federal officials do, despite Trump's paranoia to the contrary, and I think most at the upper echelons of the military are largely able to do so as well.

It wouldn't take much more than a friendly attitude and his bizarre A+ health report to have Trump thinking he was forever in his court.

Will Trump's disposition/energy level change now that Jackson isn't his personal doctor?

Why does that bother me?

I also wonder if his "physical condition" will change dramatically since his last exam? Weight?
