WTH?.........................
He appointed a swamp monster to drain the swamp? Not cool, especially for all that tough talk about doing the right thing for our vets.
“So it looks like Trump’s tough talking about cleaning up the VA system was all a bunch of BS. He nominates the current Under Secretary of the VA to head the VA. An Obama flunkie.”
Yes, this is very disappointing. The VA is such a mess that anyone involved in running it currently should be ousted.
If Trump is truly going to “drain the swamp”, he can’t have any 0bama appointees staying around.
I think he's still looking for an Agriculture secretary, isn't he?

This and RFK Jr. seem to be the 2 skunks at this party.
Can somebody tell me how this can possibly be a good thing? Based on what little I know about this I’m surprised and disappointed.
Not a veteran. I don’t think that will go over very well.
Why?? WTF?? There has to be more to this than a “simple selection”...???
Well, he is a MD, so that’s something...................
I figure it’s a give the dogs a bone strat and then fire his arse once he takes his place in the WH. A little heat diversion if you ask me.
ROFLMAO! Maybe he heard something from this guy that he liked. The under Secretary knows how things run and what was wrong. Sometimes the second or third in charge are the best to change things.
The head guy got fired.
That’s the start.
This guy can immediately perform.....if he wants to.
If not.....out the door with him.
It’s going to be tough to find the right person to run the VA.
The Democrats were smart.
The VA is their money maker.
They could care less about stealing from the Veterans.
But, there are a lot of people who appreciate the Veterans.
They want the government to treat them fairly, and the Democrat thieves hide behind that cover.
The VA bureaucrats ARE organized crime.
I’m not exaggerating.
They aren’t Mafia, but they are organized crime.
It’s going to take a special person to clean up the VA.
Fearless. Not afraid of the Democrats, the press or the bureaucrats and their lawyers.
I cannot imagine an obama appointee worthy of this position
I have no clue what the play is, but perhaps this is a way to shut down the VA and replace it along with all its staff.
Maybe he needs someone in a visible position who he can fire?
Just some guesses.
Why wasn’t Scott Brown considered? I thought he actually wanted the position.
Isn't that some of what we've all been looking for in the VA?
Trump has made exclusive promises with respect to the receipt and care of our vets. I'm willing to trust this call. If it doesn't fly, then I expect hell itself to come forward.
Disagree. He picked a CEO of a health care corporation and empowered him to change the system.
I don’t want a politician. I want an expert in massive hospital organizations that had to make a profit.
Trump’s cabinet has either been red hot or ice cold...
Not digging the ice cold.
This has the appearance of a deal.
