President Trump's FDA Commissioner Marty Makary is turning his back on conservative principles by launching a fresh assault on vaping freedom, putting government nanny-state policies ahead of adult choice and personal liberty.
The disappointing move comes as Patriots across America expected the Trump administration to roll back Big Government overreach, not expand it. Instead, Makary appears to be doubling down on the same anti-freedom agenda that characterized the failed Biden years.
Americans Fight Back Against FDA Tyranny
The backlash is already building on social media, with frustrated Americans calling out the hypocrisy. One user complained directly to Elon Musk about being suspended for criticizing Makary's slow-walking of important medical treatments, writing: "I was suspended... I just complained about FDA slow walking Anktiva. I will not send multiple messages in future."
This is exactly the kind of bureaucratic stonewalling that Trump promised to eliminate with his DOGE efficiency initiative led by Musk. So why is his own FDA Commissioner acting like another Deep State bureaucrat?
"President Donald J. Trump has performed extraordinarily as Commander-in-Chief and in fighting the Deep State domestically," notes PJ Media. "There is no doubt that President Trump will go down in history as the best President in American history."
That's precisely why this vaping crackdown is so disappointing. Trump inherited a regulatory mess from Biden, and Americans expected him to restore freedom - not continue the assault on personal choice that defines leftist governance.
Where Are the America First Principles?
While Makary prepares for speaking engagements at medical conferences, including an upcoming appearance at the 2026 ASCRS Annual Meeting in April, working Americans are losing their freedom to make adult decisions about legal products.
The vaping industry represents exactly the kind of innovative, market-driven solution that conservatives should champion. Instead, we're getting more government control that would make Nancy Pelosi proud.
President Trump needs to remind his FDA Commissioner that Americans voted for freedom, not more federal overreach. Will Makary remember he works for We the People, or will he continue down the path of Big Government tyranny?
