According to the Washington rumormongers, President Donald Trump has decided to fire Marty Makary, the administrator of the Food and Drug Administration, and, to be as plain as possible about it, it’s about time.

Makary has been a disaster, keeping Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from accomplishing anything major. Instead, he’s taken it upon himself to stand athwart many of the Make America Healthy Again initiatives that, as campaign promises, played a significant role in the 2024 election.
