Trump Promises to Cure Cancer, 'Eradicate' AIDS if He Wins Another Term

[left-of-center2012]

President Trump has promised to cure cancer, eradicate AIDS, and ensure that American astronauts land on Mars if he wins a second term.

“We will push onward with new medical frontiers.
We will come up with the cures to many, many problems, to many, many diseases—including cancer and others and we’re getting closer all the time,” Trump said to a cheering crowd at his rally in Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday night.

“We will eradicate AIDS in America once and for all and we’re very close.

We will lay the foundation for landing American astronauts on the surface of Mars.”

1. But wait... there's more! Fucking liar.

[GP6971]

3. But wait!!

By one and get the 2nd one free! Only pay shipping and handling!

[nolabear]

2. I hope Biden throws that at him every chance he gets.

“Great! Show us the proof. I’ve got proof of my efforts.”

[pangaia]

8. Wait, didn''t Biden say something about - we will cure cancer in 4 years?

Come on now.

fair is fair.

[ecstatic]

13. Maybe they know something we don't?

That's my question, now that trump has not only copied Biden but took it even further than Biden did.

[pangaia]

17. trumpo doesn;t know anything.

i think biden was wrong to say what he did the way he did, but.. it doesn;t bother me so much,.

[madaboutharry]

4. Was he reading from the teleprompter

did he go off on one of his what ever shit pops into my head bender’s?

It would bother me more if his speechwriters were coming up with this lunacy.

5. Let's be honest, Trump would have no qualms about deporting/executing Americans with HIV, so

this is much more dangerous and much less silly of a campaign promise than it seems at first glance.

Especially when you add in the fact that a 2nd Trump term would, in general, result in the ultimate destruction of the rule of law and the independent judiciary which he has begun undermining in this first term. Your civil rights on paper are just words on paper without people willing to physically enforce them.

"But who would go along with that and enact it?" you may ask... Well, the same type of people who are now going along with deporting some American citizens and legal residents of certain ethnicities whilst claiming they are illegal immigrants, who are going along with not following the law or the facts because their boss instructs them so.

Wake up Americans, this guy is not a clownish buffoon, he is a dangerous monster.

[pangaia]

9. "....this guy is not a clownish buffoon, he is a dangerous monster."

There don't seem to be too many of us even here who realize this...

Not enough anyway...

[RKP5637]

16. K&R!!! He's dangerous as hell. Far too many people think he's just a clown. He's an evil

monster. And he would sacrifice even many of his supporters if needed for whatever. He has no conscious. He's a sociopath.

15. +1000. nt

20. As someone with HIV,

Thats what I first though when I glanced at the OP. He's trying to kill protection for preexisting conditions. What better way to eradicate HIV than to get rid of me.

And his base would be fine with it since their fucked up biblical view is that it's god's punishment

[htuttle]

6. I thought this was from the Onion

[Green Line]

7. So did I

[Control-Z]

23. So did I.

[Claritie Pixie]

10. All I heard was heaping piles of hate.

[Cartoonist]

11. Careful wording

We will lay the foundation for landing American astronauts on the surface of Mars.

Just like JFK gets credit for starting the moon landing, Trump will claim credit when we eventually land on Mars.

[Initech]

12. Shut the fuck up Donny!!!

[area51]

14. Donnie: "... cures to many, many problems, to many, many diseases...."

Well, even if he were right, how much good will cures do if you can't afford the treatment in our current hyper-expensive system. We need comprehensive Medicare for All.

[uppityperson]

18. Borowitz or The Onion?

[world wide wally]

19. ...and the first step is to cut out science but by 1/3

[kskiska]

21. ...but no stem cells or fetal tissue testing will be allowed in this research.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

22. Sounds like stuff every president before him has been working on.

If "we're very close" to eradicating AIDS in America, that means the research done during the Obama presidency is producing results.

If "we're very close," then why not do it now and not dangle it out as a carrot for reelecting him?

WTF does "laying the foundation" for landing American astronauts on Mars mean? With every flight SpaceX and other companies take, we're moving closer to that goal, and they've been shooting up rockets since May 6 2002.

When he took office, Fat Donnie called the NASA administrator in and told him he wanted a man on Mars by the end of his first term. When told that was impossible, the Stable Genius said, "But what if I gave you all the money you could ever need to do it?" I guess he doesn't know that Congress has the power of the purse. He definitely doesn't understand the step-by-step process of space exploration. The Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia accidents proved you can't rush the process.
