'Complete Bats**t Insanity': Critics Torch Trump Over Bonkers Medical Rant

Source: Huff Post

Oct 27, 2025, 12:27 AM EDT


President Donald Trump on Sunday fired off an all-caps warning urging women not to take Tylenol while pregnant or give it to their kids while also scaremongering about common childhood vaccines.

Trump did a copy-and-paste job of his own September post railing against Tylenol as well as the MMR, chickenpox and hepatitis B vaccines (which he misspelled as “HEPATITAS”), then added a link to a new report in the conservative Daily Caller that claimed the FDA ignored warnings about the use of the painkiller during pregnancy.

Trump last month held a press conference where he pushed unproven claims linking Tylenol and certain vaccines to autism. Medical experts at the time slammed the advice, saying it’s not backed by evidence. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, for example, called Trump’s guidance “irresponsible” and “unsettling.”

Most experts urged pregnant women to follow the advice of their own doctors rather than anything the president said. Trump at the time suggested the experts have conflicts, while also admitting they could be correct.

Next I guess we can expect Trump to bomb boats carrying shipments of Tylenol.

Zing!

The "credible research" was, at least to me, a response to the quackery espoused by BrainWorm and F47.

we have to ask: is Trump truly this insane, reckless, and irresponsible or is he spreading disinformation and lies to disrupt the political process, deflect from Epstein, and deflect from his many faults and failures.

Or is it likely both.

Regardless, this is further proof that Trump is unfit to be president.

They want to starve people in order to wreck Medicaid, while promoting RFK Jr's bizarre voodoo witch doctoring.
