Dr Oz revealed that Donald Trump thinks diet soda kills cancer cells because it kills grass, in case you were wondering how the stable genius is getting on – 21 biggest facepalms
In a world in which Robert F Kennedy Jr is the secretary of Health and Human Services, it makes perfect sense to have a TV doctor who has sold overpriced ‘miracle’ pills to the gullible in another important health position. That person is Dr Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in Donald Trump’s Cabinet of Curiosities.
It also makes Trumpy sense that Dr Oz would appear on Donald Trump Jr’s anti-woke podcast, Triggered, and that the two sycophants would talk about the president whose attention they both crave.
It was during the podcast that Oz brought up the topic of Trump Senior’s wild theory about diet soda.

That’s up there with drinking bleach to cure Covid, and it got a similar reception on social media.

Good. I’ve been bathing in Diet Coke for years because President Trump’s blessing makes it more powerful than Holy Water. pic.twitter.com/5hzU88BamJ

Does Trump have Cancer?
Dr. Oz: "Your dad argues that diet soda is good for him because it kills grass, if poured on grass, and therefore it kills cancer cells within the body…
Trump also has stated that Fanta Orange soda is “fresh squeezed”.
Don Jr. then agrees with him. pic.twitter.com/CclUagIbhH

Yep, just another day at the office.
His kids treat this crap like it's just a bunch of normal dad joke type eccentricity.
Really, he's just that stupid, and there's no fixing it.

"Oh hohoho the President of the United States yuks around in meetings and eats candy and fully believes soda is great for him … the GOAT!"
Every day with Trump feels like we're discussing the president of the 6th grade student council.
We're not a serious country.
