Trump says tapping Michael "Savage" Weiner to head National Institutes of Health is "common sense"
Yeah, let's put a racist tinfoil hat birther, who wishes AIDS on his critics, in charge of life and death decisions.
Ever notice how the media, who normally cover Trump's every fart, suddenly look the other way when he cozies up to kooks like Weiner or Jan Crouch and Kenneth Copeland?:
Donald Trump told right-wing radio host Michael Savage there would be "common sense" if Trump appointed him head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as president. Savage has called autism "a fraud, a racket," said PTSD and depression sufferers are "losers," advised people not to get flu shots because you can't trust the government, theorized liberals have been driven insane because of seltzer bubbles, claimed President Obama was intentionally trying "to infect the nation with Ebola," and once told a caller he was a "sodomite" who should "get AIDS and die."SAVAGE: We have such corruption right now in science itself that there's virtually almost no real honest science anymore and the best evidence I have for that is the fake global warming research. Almost every study comes out that's warped. It's all corrupt. Again Donald, I'm going to put it out because I keep saying it because people are hearing it. When you become president, I want you to consider appointing me to head of the NIH. I will make sure that America has real science and real medicine again in this country because I know the corruption. I know how to clean it up and I know how to make real research work again.
TRUMP: I think that's great. And I think that frankly --
SAVAGE: No, I would leave radio for that. Donald, I would take a cut in pay that would be astronomical, but I would do it for this country. You could pay me a dollar a year and I would do it, just to make sure we have real science and medicine.
TRUMP: Well, you know you'd get common sense if that were the case, that I can tell you, because I hear so much about the NIH and it's terrible. [Westwood One, The Savage Nation, 10/6/15]

(Incidentally, Weiner's hire by MSNBC was praised at the time by Joe Scarborough as "a guy who tell it like it is!"

Top comment on Amazon:
If you have heard The Savage Nation and possibly listened to one of Dr. Savage's lecturettes on his knowledge of herbal medicine, modern medicine, nutrition, and homeopathy, this is a "must-own" book. I believe it is one of the easier to find, and is chock full of useful information; and, it definitely proves that much of this knowledge was around quite some time ago. If for no other reason, it belongs in your collection next to The Savage Nation, The Enemy Within, and LIberalism is a Mental Disorder, to show that you CAN go from scientific writing to off-the-cuff NYT Bestseller status. All it takes is a little time, and a lot of living.
