Calley Means 迅速从健康创业者晋升为特朗普高级健康顾问 —— 如今他却在抨击白宫,并暗示核心助手破坏了总统的健康议程。

Calley Means quickly rose from wellness entrepreneur to senior Trump health adviser — and now he's attacking the White House and suggesting top aides undermined the president's health agenda.

为何重要:他这场不择手段的攻势 —— 周一在接受 Axios 采访时仍在继续 —— 标志着这位曾是政府 “让美国再次健康” 议程最直言不讳的倡导者发生了惊人的转变。

Why it matters: His scorched-earth campaign — which continued Monday in comments to Axios — marks a stunning turn for a figure who was the administration's most vocal advocate of the "Make America Healthy Again" agenda.

  • 这也引发疑问:Means 与前白宫官员之间不断升级的斗争,究竟能为该运动带来什么成果。

• It also raises questions about what the escalating fight between Means and former White House officials will accomplish for the movement.

新闻背景: Means 告诉 Axios,他之所以公开指控腐败 —— 尤其是前白宫幕僚长 Susie Wiles 的腐败 —— 是因为利害攸关。

Driving the news: Means told Axios he's going public with his allegations of corruption— especially by former White House chief of staff Susie Wiles— because of the high stakes.

  • “清除华盛顿 Susie 那套政治手段,关乎美国的生存,”Means 在短信交流中表示。

• "It is existential to the survival [of] America that we rid DC of Susie's brand of politics," Means said in a text exchange.

  • Means 周五在 “The Joe Rogan Experience” 节目中的首轮发言迅速走红,周日又登上 CBS 节目 “Face the Nation” 继续攻势。

• Means' initial comments on Friday's episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" went viral, and he continued the campaign with an appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday.

  • 当被问及是否担心 Wiles 发言人和前白宫副幕僚长 James Blair 的言论会引发诉讼 —— Means 也指控 Blair 有不当行为 —— Means 指向自己在 X 上的帖子,警告对方及其他相关方 “立即保存所有可能相关的记录和通讯”。

• Asked if he's worried about lawsuits after comments from a Wiles spokesperson and former White House deputy chief of staff James Blair — who Means has also accused of wrongdoing — Means pointed to his X post warning them and other parties to "immediately preserve all potentially relevant records and communications."

Means 持续在 X 上发布大量帖子,内容涉及他的指控以及他声称官员们的回应方式。

Means has kept up a steady stream of X posts about his allegations and the way he claims the officials have responded to them.

  • “Susie —— 我不会被吓倒,你也吓不倒我。再次请求,别再给我发那些情绪化的短信了。这不是私人恩怨 —— 这是关乎文明存续的事,”Means 周一发帖称。

• "Susie - I'm not intimidated and you will not scare me. Again, please stop sending me emotional texts. This is not personal - this is civilizational," Means posted Monday.

  • 白宫发言人 Allison Schuster 在声明中表示,特朗普政府已为 “MAHA 议程” 赢得了 “广泛胜利”。卫生与公众服务部和 Wiles 发言人未回应置评请求。

• White House spokesperson Allison Schuster said in a statement the Trump administration has won "extensive victories for the MAHA Agenda." The Department of Health and Human Services and a Wiles spokesperson didn't respond to requests for comment.

大局:在2024年大选前将政治押注押在特朗普总统身上后,MAHA(让美国再次健康)运动的领导人几个月来一直抱怨,在健康食品和农药使用等问题上缺乏进展。

The big picture: After hitching their wagon to President Trump ahead of the 2024 election, MAHA leaders have been complaining for months of a lack of progress on issues around healthy foods and pesticide use.

  • 但米恩斯发起的这场公开争吵,是否会对其倡导的政策议程产生任何影响——或者这更多只是一场个人不满的巡回表演——仍有待观察。

• But whether the public feud Means has initiated will have any impact on the policy agenda he's championed — or whether it's more of a personal grievance tour — remains to be seen.

  • 一位前卫生与公众服务部(HHS)官员表示,在共和党在中期选举中惨败之后,米恩斯“强调特朗普国内议程中较受欢迎的一个方面,应该是政府花费更多时间去推进的事情,以便为党派备战2028年大选做准备。”

• A former HHS official said that after Republicans' midterm wipeout, Means is "highlighting that one of the more popular aspects of Trump's domestic agenda should be something [the administration] spends more time on to prepare the party for 2028."

深层看点: MAHA的基本盘视即将上任的白宫幕僚长斯蒂芬·米勒为盟友,尽管他鲜少公开谈论该运动的核心议题,如净化食品供应链、遏制食品添加剂或严查疫苗。

The intrigue: The MAHA base sees incoming chief of staff Stephen Miller as an ally, even though he hasn't said much about movement priorities like cleaning up the food supply, curbing food additives or scrutinizing vaccines.

  • 据《华盛顿太阳报》报道,米勒的妻子凯蒂在其播客节目中邀请了卫生部长小罗伯特·肯尼迪,并发布过包含生奶等食材的菜肴照片。

• Miller's wife, Katie, hosted Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on her podcast and has posted photos of dishes with ingredients like raw milk, per the Washington Sun.

  • 米恩斯在《国家面对面》节目中表示,米勒了解企业对医疗保健的影响,并代表着与韦尔斯的决裂。

• Means told "Face the Nation" that Miller understands corporate influence over health care and that he represents a break from Wiles.

  • “斯蒂芬·米勒在‘让美国再次健康’事业上简直是一位冠军。作为四个孩子的父亲,米勒敏锐地意识到,为下一代美国人变革我们的食品、健康和科学体系至关重要,”舒斯特说。

• "Stephen Miller has been nothing short of a champion in Making America Healthy Again. As a father of four, Miller is acutely aware of the importance of transforming our food, health, and scientific systems for the next generation of Americans," Schuster said.

聚焦:上月底刚辞去高级顾问职务的米恩斯,在华盛顿长大,曾在小布什白宫和遗产基金会实习,随后成为饮料和制药行业的顾问。

Zoom in: Means, who resigned from his senior adviser post late last month, grew up in Washington and interned in George W. Bush's White House and at the Heritage Foundation before going on to work as a consultant to beverage and drug industries.

  • 他2024年对Axios表示,母亲于2021年因一种可预防的慢性病去世,这促使他和姐姐——“功能医学”医生兼健康影响者凯西·米恩斯——开始倡导并致力于扭转慢性病危机。兄妹俩合著了畅销书《良好能量》。

• He told Axios in 2024 that his mother's preventable death from a chronic disease in 2021 prompted him and his sister, "functional medicine" physician and health influencer Casey Means, to advocate and work to reverse the chronic disease crisis. The siblings wrote a best-selling book called "Good Energy."

  • Calley Means 还联合创立了 Truemed,这是一家帮助人们使用健康储蓄账户中的资金购买健康设备的公司,据《纽约时报》报道,他在为肯尼迪提供建议的同时仍保留着该公司的股权。

• Calley Means also co-founded Truemed, a company that helps people buy wellness equipment using money in health savings accounts, retaining an interest while advising Kennedy, per the New York Times. Means is widely credited

Means 广受赞誉促成了肯尼迪与特朗普总统在 2024 年夏天的联盟,并在新的特朗普政府中担任特殊政府雇员。

with facilitating the alliance between Kennedy and President Trump in the summer of 2024 and became a special government employee in the new Trump administration.

  • 他经常在公开场合露面,有时言行张扬,抨击医疗保健机构存在“信任危机”,并在一次 2025 年 Axios 活动中声称,肯尼迪“获得选民的精神授权”,要改革破败的政府机构。

• He made frequent, at times flamboyant appearances in public forums, railing against a "crisis of trust" in health care institutions and claiming at one 2025 Axios event that Kennedy "has a spiritual mandate" from voters to reform broken government institutions.

  • Means 的妹妹曾被特朗普提名为外科医生总长,但提名于 4 月撤回,当时人们质疑她能否赢得足够多的共和党参议员支持以获得确认。当时,Calley Means 将延误策略归咎于参议院卫生委员会主席比尔·卡西迪(比尔·卡西迪,R-路易斯安那州)。

• Means' sister was tapped by Trump to be surgeon general, only to see the nomination withdrawn in April amid questions over whether she could win over enough Republican senators to be confirmed. Calley Means at the time blamed Senate health committee Chair Bill Cassidy (R-La.) for delay tactics. What we're watching:

我们正在关注:尚不清楚 Means 在政府之外将扮演什么角色——或者他的转向是帮助了还是损害了 MAHA 事业。

It's not clear what role Means will play outside the administration — or whether his turnabout has helped or hurt the MAHA cause.

  • 制定超加工食品定义等关键举措仍未完成,食品药品监督管理局似乎正在对其监管的药物开发商和其他行业采取更具和解态度的立场。

• Key initiatives like developing a definition for ultra-processed foods remain unfinished, and the Food and Drug Administration appears to be taking a more conciliatory stance toward drug developers and other industries it regulates.
