BREAKING🚨 Trump just signed off on a plan to OUST his own FDA chief furious that the agency hasn’t moved fast enough to rip the abortion pill off the market.
Multiple outlets report that President Trump has approved a strategy to remove Dr. Marty Makary as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, according to senior White House officials.
Makary hasn’t been formally fired yet, but one official told CNN the FDA chief “is done” and that Trump has already given the green light — he’s just waiting to pull the trigger.
The timing is not subtle.
For months, anti-abortion activists have been raging at both Trump and Makary because the FDA under Makary approved a cheaper generic version of mifepristone, the leading abortion pill, and hasn’t moved aggressively enough to yank it from the market.
The same groups are furious that, despite a Fifth Circuit ruling tightening access to medication abortion, mifepristone remains legal and available — especially in blue states and through certain telehealth providers.
Top White House aides are meeting with anti-abortion leaders tonight, who have been privately and publicly demanding Makary’s head.
According to The Independent, Trump is “ready to fire” Makary specifically “to assuage anti-abortion groups” who want to ban medication abortion nationwide.
Reproductive Freedom for All called it what it is: “This is a political purge to appease extremists who want to ban mifepristone and end legal abortion in every state they can reach.”
Makary has also clashed with Trump and industry on other issues.
He resisted internal efforts to allow fruit-flavored e‑cigarettes back on the market, citing youth va**ng concerns.
That reportedly triggered an angry confrontation where Trump pressed Makary on why flavored vapes weren’t being approved.
Earlier this week, the FDA reversed course and cleared several flavored e‑cigarette products, a move public health groups blasted as a giveaway to Big To***co.
Makary has also angered pharma companies by denying or delaying high‑priced drug approvals.
One FDA staffer told Politico: “He will not be missed by a single career person. And we will only regret it when they manage to find someone worse.”
If Trump follows through, it will leave yet another top health post vacant just months before the midterms, with the Department of Health and Human Services already missing permanent leaders in key roles.
It will also send an unmistakable message: if you don’t move fast enough to ban abortion pills or green‑light flavored vapes and pricey drugs, you’re gone.
They’re not just coming for mifepristone in the courts. They’re purging regulators too.
