Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump, 79, Says Cuba and the Amish Have No Autism in Bonkers Speech [View all]
Trump, 79, Says Cuba and the Amish Have No Autism in Bonkers Speech (The Daily Beast)President Donald Trump made a series of bizarre claims and doled out his own medical advice while making a major announcement at the White House flanked by his top health officials.
The president, 79, was slated to give remarks on Monday afternoon that the administration had found links between autism and Tylenol use by pregnant women, an announcement that some doctors were already pushing back on.
However, Trump went off-script and made a series of rambling, eyebrow-raising comments about autism, vaccines, and butchered the pronunciation of acetaminophen, best known as the brand name Tylenol.

Trump said there was no downside to not taking Tylenol. He called it not good and suggested pregnant women should tough it out despite Tylenol being the most commonly recommended pain reliever for pregnant women for decades.

Yes, autism is found universally. But what commonality does every person in every nation share?

Using djt's logic, then, if humans would stop reproducing, there would be no more autism.
