The man who suggested people drink bleach during the COVID pandemic is back with another hit.
Donald Trump reportedly thinks soda is good for him, because it kills grass — and therefore it must also kill cancer cells.
The wild revelation comes via Dr. Mehmet Oz, Trump’s administrator for Medicare and Medicaid, who shared the anecdote on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast Tuesday.
“Your dad argues that diet soda is good for him because it kills grass if you pour it on grass, so therefore it must kill cancer cells inside the body,” Oz told Trump Jr. in disbelief, to which Trump Jr. just laughed and shrugged knowingly.
HAHAHA, the president of the united states is a moron! LOL, this is a very funny thing and not a terrifying problem we should address immediately!
Brawno. It’s got what plants crave.
Such a better President
More eloquent, trustworthy, handsome. Not a pedophile or a convicted criminal. What’s not to like?
Hires the smartest,oat qualified people he can find
I don’t really need more ‘news’ stating that Trump is retarded.
I feel like it would kill all your cells if it could do that.
The man who suggested people drink bleach during the COVID pandemic
This honestly blew my mind, and I don’t think he’s ever topped this level of stupid. To this day it may be the dumbest thing he ever said. I’m just in awe of this reality.
Trump never told people to inject or drink bleach. That was started on reddit.
The UV light idea was given to Trump by virologists at Stanford, who did more stupid things in 2020 than anywhere in the world. The actual concept was to pass blood through UV light and reinfuse back to the patient.

Yeah I’m gonna go ahead and doubt this
Yes he did. I watched it happen with my eyes and ears.
And then I see the disinfectant [bleach], where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning.
So he didn’t specify bleach as the disinfectant of choice. He definitely suggested that injecting disinfectant would be a possible solution. I agree, and he should go first.
Again, the concept of using an injected antiviral was given to him by Stanford, and that’s how he understood it as a typical American who has no level of STEM. Stanford was on a mission to remove lockdowns on behalf of their donors.

I get the hate for Trump, but you guys are no better then MAGA playing mailman.
No, JD Vance did not actually fuck a couch.
So your Snopes link splits female arm hairs, admits it with a quote, then says the assertion is wrong, after demonstrating it’s right. Laughing out loud.

I don’t understand how you think that’s a defense of any kind.
I mean, I quoted where he literally said that.
Yes, one can give him the benefit of the doubt as he is a fucking idiot. But fuck that, he’s in a position where the words he says are taken at face value and will and have killed people.
Even if his heart were in the right place and he were merely stupid, there is no reason to defend this shit.
Trump didn’t make the leap to directly say to do that, but he did clearly think that strong lights and disinfectant in the body ‘should be looked into’. He was saved from directly making a terrible recommendation by having some amount of deference for the medical organizations, but did try to show ‘thought leadership’ in a very dumb direction.
It was not some sort of Stanford spinning up wild concepts, it was Trump taking very obvious things about how we handle these things outside the body and thinking that we would be the first to ask ‘but what about inside the body?’. Yes, he phrased it as a question to be looked into, but he clearly thought there could be something to it.
About the only credit you can give to first term Trump in this scenario is that he at least ultimately left health issues up to the health departments, even as he groused the whole time.
Yeah, see? He never said bleach! He might have meant Lysol, or Hydrogen Peroxide, or Vinegar, or Formula 409, or something, you don’t know!
To be fair thats not the quote “And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? So it’d be interesting to check that.”
Still dumb
Correct. He did not suggest drinking bleach – he suggested injecting that shit.
Yeah I know, I didn’t bother to correct it because it’s still equally stupid.
What about the time he stared directly into the sun?
He glanced at it. If he had stared at it, he would have been blinded.
The past tense of blind is blound
Blounded
This is really fucking dumb. I love it lol
So “was blound?” I like it, I’m going to use it, not that it’s going to come up often. Probably going to have to engineer a conversation, steer it in the right direction. Something like “Morning , Larry, how’s your eyesight today?” Then roll right into saying something like “I got so drunk I was blound all night.” Smooth.
It’s got what plants crave
Cancer?
It’s Got Electrolytes!
That was my second guess.
Does soda cure electrolytes too?
No, cancer, unfortunately.

Wait, does this mean Trump has cancer? Was Oz making news here?
Oz was making news in the sense of ‘announcing’ that Trump thinks Coke kills cancer.
So thats about the same level as uh… ‘I take BRAINFORCE because it makes me smart’ or ‘I use colloidal silver because it keeps you healthy’.
Its not directly stating that Trump has any medical condition, its basically just saying he’s an overconfident dumbass who believes in medical quackery.
But he wouldn’t even be thinking about cancer or its potential treatments unless it was directly relevant to him, right? Because he only thinks about himself? Optimistic speculation?
I mean, developing cancer of some kind is just broadly more likely as you age.
If you’re ~60+, the chances of cancer being what kills you go up significantly
So, the general idea of wanting to not have cancer, and trying to do things that will make it more likely you will not develop cancer, is not particularly odd or specific in itself.
Of course… soda consumption as a means of doing this is dubious, it would make much more sense to basically develop a healthy diet, and stick to that, as a means of staving off cancer.
Trump is notoriously a bit of a germaphobe, and also famously doesn’t drink. Or at least he says he doesn’t drink.
He’s just generally concerned about his health… but he’s a fucking idiot, he so does that by way of essentially superstitions.
EDIT:
Oh!
You mean… he thinks it ‘kills’ cancer in the sense of ‘he already has cancer, so it must be elimated from within him’.
Yeah ok so this is hard to explain factually, but basically, if you know older Boomers or Silent Gen, they very often just use ‘kills’ in that context to functionally mean ‘keep you clean inside’ or ‘prevent’.
Its… kind of a muddled and not totally literal use of the word.
I think the point was that this dude is incapable of thinking about anything beyond himself, so if he’s talking about trying to cure cancer, then there’s a distinct possibility that he’s got it.
It was Fanta, actually. “Fresh squeezed,” apparently.
Checks out, the Nazis loved their Fanta
Freshy Squeezed Fanta is an extremely cursed phrase/concept, goddamn you lol.
No, it’s actually way stupider than that. Because even if “BRAINFORCE” doesn’t actually make you smart, at least that’s what they tell you it does.
Nobody has ever thought this about soda. It’s just so unbelievably fucking stupid.
I’ve known older folks, dumb older folks, who have thought this, and things like this.
“Cigarettes can’t hurt you, anything that goes in the lungs you can just blow it back out again”
Maybe he should try a double shot of RoundUp. It REALLY is good at killing grass!
Trump has cancer and is killing it with soda? Well, at least he’s treating it correctly. Donald, add bleach to your sodas for extra killing power. Lots of bleach.
Also only drink soda, sir. Forget water, soda is the thirst mutilator!
I hear bullets can solve the cancer problem quite quickly
I think XKCD can be considered a credible source on this one
He should mix several types of disinfectants with bleach as the number one ingredient.

They ended up buying it all in the end.
So just inches away from Idiocracy plot, yes?
Nearly… https://idiocracy.wtf/
Nah, President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho at least wanted the smartest man in the world trying to solve problems for him. This administration wouldn’t let a smart man near anything.
Oh, we’re way beyond that. We left that plot behind the horizon as we zoomed away and left it in the dust.
If anything the comparison is actually kind of insulting to Camacho at this point. He was an idiot and a blowhard but he actually appointed the most competent people he could find and cared about the average person’s well being.
You’re right. He was stupid but not a malicious ass clown
Absolutely, a polar opposite to the US administration (except for them also being idiots of course).
Red cross doctor speaking, by the way
Does he think RoundUp is healthy too?
I wouldn’t put it past him.
We’re not that lucky.
We are such a stupid country
As someone not from your stupid country, I’d love to remind you that the rest of the world both mocks you and fucking hates you.
No need to remind me. There are a lot of people who mock and hate me.
