Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Donald Trump is a chronic caller.
At a press conference on Monday, Kennedy revealed Trump calls him “three or four times a week” to check in on his administration’s health agenda.
Kennedy claimed he always asks the same question: “Why aren’t people healthier yet?”
Kennedy, a controversial health figure known for his skepticism on vaccines, was speaking alongside state governors and Cabinet officials to promote a new policy aimed at curbing the purchase of soda and candy with food stamps.
The initiative is part of Trump’s so-called “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, a riff on his original 2016 “Make America Great Again” slogan.
“We have full support from the president,” Kennedy told reporters. “He wants this done. He promised to make America healthy again, and he’s gonna do that.”
“He called me last night,” Kennedy added. “He calls me three or four times a week and says, ‘Where are you? Why aren’t people healthier yet?’ So he’s keeping me under pressure.”
Watch here:
The MAHA campaign has included headline-grabbing efforts, such as a push to get Coca-Cola to sell cane sugar–based sodas in the U.S.
Kennedy, however, has also overseen funding cuts and layoffs within federal public health organizations, most recently ousting all 17 experts on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, with fellow skeptics now installed.
