1. You got to be kidding me? He didn't actually say to take insulin did he?

wth?

[Demovictory9]

10. he suggested maybe he should take insulin

[Srkdqltr]

2. who is Dr. Gu? and is this a thing now?

Who said take insulin? what is "The Rest Of The Story"

[MissB]

4. In trumps speech today he started rambling about insulin

And how he doesn’t take it. He said some other stuff that could be interpreted as maybe folks should take it.

[Demovictory9]

7. progressive outspoken Dr. - his hospital tried to fire him over "black lives matters" or something

maybe a year or two ago. He remains extremely outspoken and anti-Trump

13. 'Should I be? Huh? I never thought about it': Trump asks if he should use insulin at White House sen

3. I haven't heard this, but it might not be the worst idea to tweet outlandish cures that Trump

Makes.

[Azathoth]

5. Is this for real?

It really says something about how far we've fallen that it's not immediately clear whether a tweet like this is satire or not.

[Demovictory9]

6. it's real. Trump babbled some nonsense today, this time about maybe he should take insulin

[Azathoth]

8. Jesus n/t

9. What?!

I have a lot of catching up to do it seems. This is clearly nuts level stuff here. I'll be vetting this one.

[Demovictory9]

12. Thank you.

I appreciate the link and saving me the time searching.

14. And...that's freaking real ignorance on parade there.

He really is a moron. I'm not being hyperbolic here, but rather completely serious.

[Demovictory9]

15. he learned that taking insulin prevents blindness, etc.. and then thinks of it as a vitamin

... and age 73, he didn't know the benefits of diabetics taking insulin? He just learned at this event. my gawd.

[herding cats]

18. I have no words.

I often find myself here after Trump goes off script like this.

Mercifully people cannot get insulin without being diagnosed as a diabetic. That's one shortage I definitely don't want to see.

[Ms. Toad]

19. That is not correct.

Insulin does not require a prescription, and part of what triggered his comments is the escalation of the price of insulin (which - coupled with his idiotic brain dump) might well make this life-saving product unavailable to the people who can't live without it).

There are a number of varieties of insulin. Some require a prescription, but the basic insulin does not.

[sakabatou]

16. I wonder how many people will take it

[crickets]

17. I wonder if a certain someone has just been diagnosed with diabetes

and is trying to process the information.

Otherwise, perhaps he's just trying to kill people for kicks. It's Tuesday after all.

[roamer65]

20. That is exactly the behavior of a narcissistic sociopath.

Killing is for kicks to them.

Usually starts with animals, then they move on to other humans.

[Brainfodder]

21. OK, so HyQ, Lysol, bleach, and now insulin, these poor stupid people don't stand a chance?

Cyanide, furniture polish, and antifreeze up next?

[Hekate]

22. Now that I've picked my jaw off the floor:I am totally in favor of Trump dosing himself with insulin

Just do it, Moron, the more the better.

[pecosbob]

23. I'm hypoglycemic

I'm pretty sure that would kill me. At the very least I would go to sleep for about a month.
