‘Entertainment person’: Trump gives backhanded praise to celebrity admin picks​



President Donald Trump took time out of an announcement on medication prices to praise former television personalities Mehmet Oz and Jeanine Pirro.

On Monday, Trump made the remarks before signing an executive order on drug prices. Oz heads the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services while Pirro is expected to serve as interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

"When you're in show business, it hurts your reputation a little bit," Trump noted. "It's good for you, but in terms of professionalism and being a doctor, it sort of hurts your reputation."

The president compared Oz to Pirro, whom he called "a special woman."

"She was really tough, really sharp," he explained. "Then she did a show, and people didn't think of it quite the same way. She became more of an entertainment person, like Oz. Oz is not an entertainment — he's not really an entertainer."

"And she isn't either. She is unbelievable," Trump added. "She was one of the strongest, district attorneys in the history of New York, highly respected, very tough, went after the drug dealers at a level that you don't see today anymore, and hopefully she's going to be, she's given up a tremendous, she's leaving the number one show on cable television, one of the number one shows on television, period, 'The Five.'"

"Janine Pirro is unbelievable."
