Dr Nicole Saphier, the third person nominated to besurgeon generalby PresidentDonald Trump, has been hurriedly deleting old social media posts critical of his administration, according to a report.
Saphier – a Fox News medical contributor, working radiologist, and author of books includingMake America Healthy Again– was given the nod by Trump after the nominations of Dr Janette Nesheiwat and Dr Casey Meanshad to be withdrawnover a lack of congressional support.
However,CNNreportsthat, despite her MAGA leanings, the doctor posted a number of messages questioning the Trump administration’s policies on issues likeautismandvaccinesin 2025 and earlier this year.
The 44 year-old nominee also publicly questioned the president’s reassurances regarding his own wellbeing and fitness.
Saphier hasmade her X account privatebut, the network points out, the deleted posts are still viewable via the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.
In one example from last June, she derided Trump and Elon Musk over theirvery public falling outas the world’s richest man’s tenure in the White House came to an end.
She called their competing insults on rival social media platforms“petty, loud and obnoxious”and compared the feud to “watching two billionaires throw sand in a sandbox.”
Saphier was also incensed by the president’swarning to pregnant women against taking Tylenolto combat pain and fevers, citing unproven links to autism.
“As a mom of 3 kids, I don’t love a man telling me to ‘tough it out’ when it comes to pregnancy,” she wrote in September. “Words matter. Facts matter too.”
When Trump reiterated his claims on Truth Social in October, Saphiersaidin response: “This isn’t the first or second time he has said this. Obviously something was said to POTUS behind closed doors and the public deserves transparency on the data presented to substantiate these statements.”
