Top Health Adviser Quits Trump Team

Calley Means quit his job. He was a top adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He worked in the Trump administration. He left on Thursday. He did not give a reason for leaving.

Means helped lead the Make America Healthy Again movement. Some members of that group are upset. They say the administration is not doing enough. They care about food security. They also want to regulate a weed killer named glyphosate.

In his statement, Means said he respects Donald Trump and Kennedy. He talked about the past two years. He said there has been major change in health policy. He pointed out that some companies profit when people stay sick. He said the movement is in the first inning. That is a baseball term. It means things are just beginning.

He believes there is more work ahead. People are watching to see what happens next. The group wants real results. They want the government to act on health issues. The next step is not clear.
