Raw Story - 'Booo!' Trump fans 'disheartened and upset' after he gives 'slap in the face to MAGA'

Donald Trump made an announcement about his upcoming administration, and his biggest fans are not happy about it.
Trump said on Friday that he had chosen Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a physician and Fox News medical contributor, as his surgeon general. She also "serves as a medical director at CityMD, a network of urgent care centers in New York and New Jersey," according to Politico's reporting.
“Dr. Nesheiwat is a fierce advocate and strong communicator for preventive medicine and public health,” Trump said on Friday in a statement on his Truth Social platform. “She is committed to ensuring that Americans have access to affordable, quality healthcare, and believes in empowering individuals to take charge of their health to live longer, healthier lives.”
The pick did not go over well with Trump's base.
@BlueArmy24, who frequently posts in favor of Trump on Truth Social, responded on the site with a letter from the "base."
"Dear President Trump, many of us…MANY of us are very disheartened and upset about this pick -this doctor has been a major advocate for pushing Covid vaccines upon people which are being proven cause much harm," @BlueArmy24 wrote. "She also was a big advocate of masking and other terrible Covid policies please don’t let this happen! Sincerely -your base."
