Trump on autism

[BeHappySloth]

Sorry if there is another thread - I did look.

I mean, wtf??!!

I’d imagine it’s because he can’t pronounce the word ‘acetaminophen’……

No. The Democrats should be held accountable for their failures in government and for failing to speak up sooner about Biden's cognitive decline.

But it was the Republicans who chose Trump as their candidate, and that was entirely on them.

He is a nutter and this is batshit but it’s likely that it has come from valid studies that show an increase in ADHD in boys when paracetamol is used in pregnancy. Just google Lancet, I don’t know how to link. Now this has been proven and about for quite a long time (I didn’t take paracetamol in pregnancy due to it). That said the studies often do state that it’s likely that this use is also in conjunction with a genetic link and the development or severity of that.

Bottom line is he is an utter nutcase but the scary thing is he is taking something with scientific links to the truth and spinning it out of shape

The Republicans should have chosen a better candidate.

The Democrats fucked up, for sure, but Trump is the responsibility of the Republicans.

What shite is he talking now?

Honestly it really upset me, made me feel sick. Autism runs in the family and I’ve long suspected I’m autistic myself. The consequences for this kind of misinformation peddled by Trump and his backward circus will be huge. What an absolute disgrace.

This doesn't make sense. The Republicans didn't need to pick a better candidate as the one they had was better than the Democrats candidate.

It's on the Democrats that they couldn't beat Trump.

He is a disgrace

This is so dangerous 🤬

Could I add a fucking idiot?

Eh?

So it didn't matter if they put up a dangerous nutter as long as they knew he could win?

I broke my ankle in two places when I was pregnant. There were not a lot of options for painkillers - paracetamol was encouraged. What a shit headline.

Well nobody buys the “refrigerator mother” theory of autism any more, so the Fanta Fuhrer has to invent some other bullshit that blames it squarely on women.

He’s started on the bollocks about the MMR now, too.
No doubt advised by that renowned medical expert, Robert Kennedy, Jr.

You think Trump was better than Kamala Harris?

I think Americans (or a large amount of them) just weren't ready to elect a black woman as president.

As useful as a chocolate teapot

Or like Wakefield he has invested in a company that’s developed an alternative.

A lot of people I know in the States were predicting he'd use this as one of if not the "cause" of autism. The next step will be that they'll be touting a "cure" probably some bullshit supplement that someone sells and wants to make more money by selling to gullible people.

Absolutely! Always the mother's fault, isn't it? Well I have two AuAdhd kids and I didn't take any paracetamol in pregnancy. His vaccine advice will cost lives. 😪

Anyone remember Trumps suggestion that drinking bleach might be a treatment for covid? The man is dangerous.

I agree. The Democrats were far from perfect but the mind boggles at the idea that anyone could genuinely believe that Trump would make a better president than Harris.

They are. Comments from qualified people who actually understand what they are talking about today pointing out how dangerous it is for expectant mothers not to control fevers, damaging to the foetus.
That man is a disgrace.

In the eyes of the Americans yes. I'm not a Trump fan at all.

But to say he needed to be a better candidate is ignoring the fact that he still beat the Democrat. So it's their party who needed to be better.

How many kids in America are now going to be seriously ill or dead because of his inaccurate views on vaccinations. I can't believe the crap that comes out of his mouth - and that so many Americans support him

Could be wrong but I think he also suggested injecting it?
