Trump on autism

Wordsmith

The Guardian is reporting that Trump has just teased that he will be making an important announcement on autism tomorrow (quite how this was relevant in the middle of a eulogy for Charlie Kirk is not clear but that’s the Great Orange Blimp for you). Looks like we can expect mums taking paracetamol during pregnancy to be blamed and folinic acid to be touted as a cure.

    That’s an interesting thought, but Trump’s hiring of RFK Jr as Health Secretary predates his falling out with Musk. RFK Jr’s main platform is anti-vaccine pseudoscience, so it’s likely Trump’s been on this Autism kick for a while. It’s just that he’s only recently being more vocal about it.

    It seems that Trump & Musk are talking to each other again. At least they were on a stage together a few days ago. It was shown on a mainstream TV station news programme so is likely to be genuine, but I had to switch channel as I couldn’t stomach watching it so I can’t tell you where and what the occasion was. 

    I have my own views on why Trump spouts out such rubbish, but I don’t know if Musk being in or out of favour has made a difference.

    Watching Trump's speech to the UN and then his news conference with President Zelinskyy made me wonder if someone put LSD in Trump's cornflakes? He was totally rambling and not really coherant, he seemed like he was unravelling.

    According to him, London's introducing Sharia Law, which is laughable and I think Sadiq Khan was right not to even dignify it with a reply.

    You do all realise that we won't be allowed into America now for disagreeing with Trump, as he wants everyones social media and stuff to be investigated for anti-himself sentiments or views and anyone who disagree's with him banned from the country? So much for free speech and expression.

    In my view, this is more about cutting health care.
