Party?
Is Shulkin Democrat, Republican or independent? 98.10.165.90 (talk) 14:50, 20 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, we need a source for this. I'm assuming that he's Independent since both Obama and Trump nominated him to different positions. SlitherySentinel (talk) 22:10, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Trump invite to Mar Largo Diss March 18 2017
This is noteworthy and should be considered as worthy of inclusion. It is rare to not accept an invitation of the President. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/trump-veterans-affair-meeting-doesnt-happen-236221

Termination
The comment that he was fired by President Trump is not sourced, and the provided twitter comment attributed to Trump did not state that Shulkin was fired, only that he was being replaced by someone else. The Wikipedia statement does not provide for the possibility that Shulkin resigned voluntarily. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IRobHenry (talk • contribs) 00:13, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
