CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta discusses the questions about the qualifications of President Trump's department of Veterans Affairs nominee Dr. Ronny Jackson.

I am waiting for the Alex Jones appointment... It would not surprise me at all.

[HAYDER]

The only qualification needed to get a job in Trump's administration is LOYALTY. anything else is irrelevant

[de]

It must be awkward as hell to be offered some major job that you are completely unqualified for by the President. You'd think he was joking, and then realize he's a lunatic.

[bpaakwaan]

Has Trump delegated any office to someone suitably qualified ?

[wimphilipsen]

Mild hart disease could easely turn in to a severe hart disease?
There’s hope

[Gravelark]

He just revealed himself to be another stooge. Smh

[fourdisastrousyearscoming]

If this guy has ever ran a Nursing Home Facility not a Hospital then hes qualified. Other than that hes gona be out in 6-8 months.

[rocklobster]

The answer Chris Cuomo's question. Nothing makes him qualified.

[saywhatimeanmeanwhatisay]

That doctor Ronnie Jackson got more srews lose then trump does, this is turning into a real circus!

[gt]

The calcium score is a crucial test for a person of trump’s age, which was not revealed in that press conference, cheat or mistake ？🤨🤨🤨

I sort of get the idea that Jackson had a very stable genius for a patient and was worried about what he might nuke if he said anything to set him off. Best of luck to Admiral Jackson and all concerning the appointment.

Trump's still going for reality show ratings. Pity our veterans with issues.

Ok, so this guy is an Admiral in the Navy, an MD, and has worked for 3 Presidents. This is not the craziest thing Trump has done. He wanted his pilot to run the FAC, surprised his chauffeur isn't in charge of the Dept. of Highways. Betsy DeVos anyone? Fight where it counts.

[theamazingempiricist]

Absolutely no qualifications - except being a doctor and an admiral

[Gothicmuze]

"I don't think he has any experience running a big organization like that..." Ummm, Sanjay - he's an admiral of the US Navy.

[claydog]

***Sanjay Gupta is just mad he did not get picked over this great Navy Dr!!! ***

[automatonicme]

If you know anything about the VA, then you should know that anyone is better at this point. Putting vets on pills and waiting lists is not a solution.

[giovannisoave]

What next? A McDonald's manager for chief of staff?
