LOADING ERROR LOADINGA prominent Italian doctor swiped at President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in social media posts praising the medical care that injured American skiing star Lindsey Vonn received in Italy after crashing out of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. AdvertisementBut he then added a pointed dig at Trump and Kennedy, and the overall situation surrounding health care in the U.S.:“Vonn was able to appreciate Italy’s extraordinary public health care system, which took care of her with three surgical procedures. In Italy, unlike in her country, we take care of everyone: rich or poor, VIPs or nobodies, Americans or Italians. If she gets the chance, she should explain to Trump and Kennedy Jr. what it means to take care of those who are ill.”Bassetti shared the message in Italian with his 396,000 followers alongside a photograph of Vonn receiving treatment in a hospital in Italy. The doctor also called out Joe Biden in 2024 when the then-president was pictured boarding Air Force One without a mask, despite having just tested positive for COVID-19.
