At a rally in Cincinnatti the other night, Trump took his lies to a whole new level.
He told his cultists that we are about to cure childhood cancer. Don't take my word for it - the video of him saying this is available online.
This is a President who has cut funding for cancer research and scientific research in general, and he thinks NOW we'll find a cure?? Who knew you could find a cure by eliminating funding for research? If this is true, why didn't we start doing it years ago? It must all be Obama's fault...
For the record, there is no such disease as "childhood cancer" - there are children with cancer, but it encompasses many cancers that adults also have and a few that are specific to children. Wiping out cancer in children is not even a remote possibility at this point, so Trump's statement that we're about to "cure childhood cancer" is meaningless at best.
As someone who has cancer, I found his statements to be truly offensive - not only doesn't he know what he's talking about (as usual), but he's pandering to his base and making promises that he can't possibly deliver on. This guy will lie about ANYTHING with no remorse - he just makes it up as he goes, and the MAGAts lap it up. |
