Trump Prescription Drug Order, Casey Means Surgeon General, Laura Loomer Online Saga

On May 12, 2025, Pres­i­dent Trump signed an exec­u­tive order to align U.S. pre­scrip­tion drug prices with low­er costs in Europe and the UK, a move aimed at reduc­ing health­care expens­es for Amer­i­cans. The order, detailed on WhiteHouse.gov, received min­i­mal main­stream media cov­er­age, sug­gest­ing its sig­nif­i­cance as a con­sumer-friend­ly pol­i­cy. Trump also nom­i­nat­ed Casey Means as Sur­geon Gen­er­al, spark­ing online con­tro­ver­sy. Lau­ra Loomer, a vocal com­men­ta­tor, launched aggres­sive attacks on Means and her broth­er Cal­ley, a top RFK Jr. advis­er, alleg­ing eth­i­cal issues. A well­ness CEO filed an ethics com­plaint against Cal­ley, which Loomer ampli­fied, though crit­ics call it base­less and a pub­lic­i­ty stunt leaked to Politi­co to fuel the news cycle. The feud high­lights ten­sions with­in con­ser­v­a­tive cir­cles over Trump’s appointees. The exec­u­tive order’s lack of cov­er­age under­scores its poten­tial impact, as net­works often down­play poli­cies that chal­lenge phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal inter­ests. Means’ nom­i­na­tion and the drug pric­ing reform sig­nal Trump’s focus on health­care afford­abil­i­ty, despite dis­trac­tions from online dis­putes and unver­i­fied com­plaints. For details, vis­it WhiteHouse.gov for the full list of Trump’s exec­u­tive orders.
