OK folks. Here ya go:

Let’s just say that the dental world is very very small. A former staff member of this Dentist informed me that the reason the Trump attends his office is that this doctor has, shall we say, the same proclivities as his patient.

And here’s an article to make you feel even better about the guy in the White House:

Apparently, Trump's dentist friend can't keep his hands and untoward thoughts (and possible other body parts) to himself.

I was surprised that Gov. Scott had nothing to do with him but has Gov. DeSantis had anything to do with this, or did they even ask him? Just wondering if he ever went back and tried again.

Trump’s personal dentist highlights friendship with president to obtain Florida dental license

TALLAHASSEE — President Donald Trump’s personal dentist went before the state licensing board on Friday and specifically highlighted his friendship with the president in a bid to obtain permission to set up shop in Florida, according to three people present at the meeting.

Dr. Albert Hazzouri ultimately withdrew his licensing application after receiving significant pushback from the Florida Board of Dentistry, which was concerned that he failed to properly complete the application, a state law requirement.

Missing were scores for a written and clinical exam, official transcripts and CPR certification, according to a Feb. 26 letter from Florida Department of Health Executive Director Jennifer Wenhold. “Typically, when applications are before the Board for consideration, it helps to have a complete application so that all credentials can be reviewed,” she wrote.

At Friday’s board meeting, Hazzouri stressed his personal relationship with Trump, according to three people who attended the meeting but did not want to be identified for fear of retribution.

"This guy was so arrogant. He was saying you should break all the rules and make an exception for me,” said one attendee.

“So basically, he was being lazy and thought that he could just come in and say, ‘I’m the president’s dentist, give me a license,’” said a second attendee.

They all look like they have poorly fitted doll's teeth and the structure around their mouths don't seem to fit the jawline.

.. "Hazzouri was hawking COVID-19 test kits made in Mexico, according to the Times report. He invoked his friendship with Trump in repeated calls to FEMA officials. Hazzouri said he had friends who could supply 100,000 test kits.

Why is a dentist in Scranton hawking infectious disease tests made in Mexico?"...(more)

You do not mess ever with licensing boards. They are incredibly strict and demanding and no exceptions for anything or ever made for anyone at all whatsoever. In Pennsylvania, the worst news you can get is not a malpractice suit but an investigation from the state board.

We've seen influence peddling, business and political rewards for political contributions, massive non-stop abuse of power, nepotism, enough Emollients Clause violations to fill a book, along with many other indiscretions and criminal acts.

Trump is a student of Fred Trump and Roy Cohn and both would be proud of how Donny spreads their evil teachings.

The dentist is attracted to tRump because like many others, they are kindred evil spirits that know how to put on a spit-polished facade for public show, including sparkling white teeth.

Many years ago it was almost impossible to find a set of teeth that look like that other than certain Hollywood stars or incredibly stupidly vain people. But now with bleaching being so common, it is “permissible” to routinely fabricate crowns with that shade.
