Waiver? Why doesn't a reporter just write a story of how crazy it is to have an anti-science conspiracy believer as head of HHS? The media is normalizing insanity.

The only thing that's going to matter is if Trump believes that he is personally damaged by his support of RFK, Jr. The health and safety of the public is so far down the list of GOP priorities that "wavering support" for this murderous, grifting junkie monster means nothing.

Donald Trump might think RFK Jr. is damaging his chances of getting a Nobel prize for Project Warp Speed. Also, RFK Jr.--despite looking great in still pictures--literally looks bad with motion and sound, and Trump cares about that kind of thing A LOT. RFK Jr. is NOT "from Central Casting."
