Ex-Trump Doctor Dragged After It's Revealed The Navy Demoted Him Due To 'Inappropriate Conduct'

It's been revealed that Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson, who was Trump's White House doctor, was quietly demoted by the U.S. Navy from retired Admiral to Captain in 2022 after a probe into his 'inappropriate conduct.'

Texas Republican Representative Ronny Jackson was harshly criticized after news reports revealed he was discreetly demoted by the U.S. Navy following a report by the Defense Department inspector general that revealed that he engaged in "inappropriate conduct" during his tenure as the top White House physician for Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

Records obtained by NBC News indicate that Jackson, who retired from the Navy as a rear admiral in 2019, is now listed as a captain.


While a Navy spokesperson refrained from commenting on Jackson's rank, a statement emphasized that the "substantiated allegations in the DoDIG investigation of Rear Adm (lower half) Ronny Jackson are not in keeping with the standards the Navy requires of its leaders, and, as such, the Secretary of the Navy took administrative action in July 2022."

The specifics of the administrative action were not disclosed, but anonymous sources mentioned to The Washington Post that it involved a reduction in rank.

The inspector general's review, concluded in 2021, unveiled instances where Jackson consumed alcohol, made inappropriate sexual comments to subordinates, and used the sedative Ambien during his tenure as the White House physician. Additionally, the report outlined instances of mistreatment towards subordinates, encompassing disparagement, belittlement, bullying, and humiliation.

Many have condemned Jackson's behavior.


In response to the findings, Jackson rejected the allegations, accusing Democrats of using the report "to repeat and rehash untrue attacks on my integrity” because "I have refused to turn my back on President Trump."

The demotion holds significance not only as a disciplinary measure but also in terms of financial implications for Jackson. The annual pension payment for a retired one-star admiral exceeds that of a retired captain by over $15,000, a gap that may widen with periodic rate increases over time.

Jackson still refers to himself as a retired U.S. Navy rear admiral on his congressional website.

Dr. Oz Slammed For Tone Deaf Health Advice For Americans On Medicaid And Medicare

Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he offered Americans unsolicited health advice during a Fox News appearance, saying that Americans shouldn't "eat carrot cake" as millions face cuts to their government-funded health insurance.

The passage of President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" will cause 17 million people to lose valuable Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Under the bill, individuals earning just above the federal poverty line would be required to start paying out of pocket for certain Medicaid services, such as doctor visits and lab tests.

Adam Schiff Calls Out The Real Reason Trump Is Accusing Him Of 'Fraud'—And Yeah, That Tracks

California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff fired back at President Donald Trump after Trump accused Schiff of "possible mortgage fraud" in a Truth Social post—prompting Schiff to point out that Trump's attack is another attempt to take attention away from Trump's association with the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump, without citing evidence, said Fannie Mae’s financial crimes division found that Schiff had a “sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud" that involved misstating which home Schiff used as a primary residence, allowing him to secure a cheaper mortgage.
