"On Wednesday, we got the latest indicator of how bereft the Trump administration is of standards and how contemptuous it is of people who might know better with Politicos report that the White House is hiring a college senior to be what Politico describes as one of the top officials in its powerful Presidential Personnel Office. James Bacon, a 23-year-old undergraduate at George Washington University, is being installed as the offices director of operations and right-hand man to the PPOs new 29-year-old director, John McEntee. Bacons role appears to be to help McEntee carry out a purge of insufficiently loyal Trump appointees as part of a re-vetting process. Bacon comes to the department that the Washington Post described in 2018 as having far-reaching influence as a gateway for the appointed officials who carry out the presidents policies and run federal agencies by way of a brief stint at the Department of Transportation, a White House liaison role at the Department of Housing and Urban Development while he was still taking classes, and, of course, the Trump campaign.
This is not the first example of Trump or his administration brandishing its ability to lift inferior loyalists, weaponizing capriciousness and arbitrariness as an expression of power. As the Post pointed out in 2018, just one year into the Trump presidency, the Presidential Personnel Office has served as a refuge for young campaign workers, a stopover for senior officials on their way to other posts and a source of jobs for friends and family.
One senior staffer has had four relatives receive appointments through the office. Unsurprisingly, the office, which served as the epicenter of graft and gifting political jobs, was also an island of privileged, misfit toys with dubious personal histories."...(more)

He forgot to mention his diet, lack of exercise, obesity, high bp, shortness of breath and drug abuse. Or maybe he just conveniently overlooked those things.

(61,694 posts)That doesn't imply trump should be in the healthy category. In fact, it may indicate that he has associated cardiovascular disease.
Obviously, people with insurance are more likely to be taking the drugs. People with cardiovascular disease are more likely to be on the drugs as well.

Added from his wiki
"Prior to becoming surgeon general, he served as the Indiana State Health Commissioner from 20142017. On June 29, 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Adams to become Surgeon General of the United States.[4][5] Adams was confirmed by the United States Senate on August 3, 2017.[6] He assumed office on September 5, 2017."
So, he was in Indiana when Pence b/c of his religious beliefs let an HIV outbreak happen.
