The man’s a cunt.

I got nothing else to say.

Crazy man
Crazy theory

He's an embarrassment to humanity. His demise can't come soon enough.

I agree, but how was this man allowed to become the most powerful person on the planet?

I look forward to al the big Pharma companies suing the shit out of Trump for this absolute batshit nonsense. The legal potential for all this is very significant, how did his team allow this?

YouMightThinkThat · 22/09/2025 22:04

Was just thinking that. I hope his fat orange arse gets sued until his piles bleed.

TokyoSushi · 22/09/2025 22:04

Batshit. Seriously.

What is this about? I dont watch the news but am autistic. Is he making weird claims?

FusionChefGeoff · 22/09/2025 22:06

It’s obviously something that the man (let’s face it, probably is) at the top of the company that makes Tylenol has done to piss Donald off and this is his petty revenge

Imaginariums · 22/09/2025 22:06

I wonder if he will get sued. So many women are going to listen to him, that’s the scary thing.

padronpepper · 22/09/2025 22:08

@BeHappySloth
As was pointed out on another thread he was voted in by a majority of voters in America who thought he was the right choice. The Democrats must bear some of the blame.

RayonSunrise · 22/09/2025 22:11

I have found it curious that the Trump administration is referring to a specific brand name (Tylenol), not the American generic name (Acetaminophen).

Has Johnson & Johnson done something to piss Trump off? Maybe they’ve not raised their overseas drugs prices enough for him?

They announced that they were going to find "the cause of autism" by September back in April...

Clearly, they are clutching at straws to say they've done it. I'm amazed he's not blaming it on vaccines tbh.

RFK Jr pledges to find the cause of autism 'by September'

Autism researchers and experts call the effort, which is short on detail, misguided and unrealistic.

Oh no, just seen him saying something incomprehensible about vaccines too.

Yes. He is saying that autism is caused by the use of paracetamol in pregnancy. He also seemed to be saying that people shouldn't give paracetamol to small children. And suggesting that vaccines may also play a part.

And he claims that there is no autism in the Amish community or in Cuba.

Criticising vaccines too

Oh, hadn't thought of that. You might be right, but surely they will sue the fuck out of him?

The cause of autism is complex genetic. I have an autistic (adult) child and I didn’t touch any paracetamol or ibuprofen or indeed any drug at all during pregnancy.

Because the Democrats put up a senile old man and then tried to gaslight the American people that everything was fine.

What makes you think pharma companies will stand up to him when the universities, law firms, TV networks and most countries in the world have not?

itwascousinhalifax · 22/09/2025 22:18

Just watched him spout shite about vaccines now. Man’s a fucking headcase. Dangerous one.

mamagogo1 · 22/09/2025 22:20

I have an autistic adult dd and didn’t take paracetamol. Her dad is definitely on the autistic spectrum but became more pronounced as he got older. Her sister has adhd

Bruisername · 22/09/2025 22:21

It also follows through on the idea that women become incubators as soon as they get pregnant

he said why would you take paracetamol when you don’t have to - well how about it’s one of the few painkillers you can take - does he want women in pain or there being other health conditions because of fevers etc

i had a chest infection when pregnant and took antibiotics and paracetamol. I feel terrible taking them at the time and even now I wonder if my son’s troubles are my fault. Every time I hear the headline it makes me feel sick
