President Trump has expressed disbelief that people have to inject themselves with insulin multiple times daily to stay alive ⁠— as if this hasn’t been the case since the treatment was discovered in the 1920s. Columnist Davidlaz explains:

Imagine if President Trump expressed surprise about how devastating cancer can be for millions of patients and their families. Imagine if he went on to muse, almost playfully, that perhaps he should give chemotherapy a try.

“I never thought about it,” Trump continued. “But I know a lot of people are very badly affected, right? Unbelievable.”Here was the president of the United States belittling the chronic condition that 1.6 million Americans with Type 1 diabetes wrestle with on a daily basis . Trump was so amazed by the severity of diabetes that he scribbled a note to himself prior to the news conference. “You know, if you don’t take insulin, I just wrote this down, go blind, stroke, amputation, kidney failure and other things,” he said.

Surgeon General Jerome Adams gamely explained that 7 million Americans with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes use insulin because, unlike people without diabetes, their bodies either don’t produce or don’t effectively process the hormone.

pavsmith Davidlaz I still find it hard to believe that this very lovely and not at all racist man became President, I am so looking forward to President Biden🤣

Davidlaz Moron.

Davidlaz He really is a very low IQ individual 🤦🏻‍♀️

Davidlaz He's correct. God can and has healed. God cteated this world and can anything. He created us in His image. Don't believe? What do you believe, everything came from nothing? I'm not that stupid to fall for that story. God bless America. Trump2020 DrainTheSwamp KeepAmericaGreat

Davidlaz If it kills him, let him do it!

Davidlaz Omg. That's so not true. Wtf?

Davidlaz Shhh... Don't discourage him.

Davidlaz Slow day in the newsroom?

Davidlaz Oh go ahead, let him do it.

Davidlaz So, basically.. He's hiding that he's diabetic or pre-diabetic and is such a compulsive liar and obsessed with admitting weakness, that he's (in his befuddled incorrect way) 'covering his tracks' for when it comes out he uses insulin.

Davidlaz If it didn't/doesn't happen to him, it doesn't matter. TrumpEgo

Davidlaz How is he not diabetic?

Davidlaz Let him.

Davidlaz Why not realDonaldTrump ? What has you got to lose?

Davidlaz realDonaldTrump

Davidlaz Remove him from office by force

Davidlaz Don't listen to the LA Times Mr President, DO IT! I hear the more insulin you inject directly into yourself, the stronger you appear to the nation/world.

Davidlaz “Some people are saying ...”

Davidlaz Lol

Enforced virtue signalling. So many people aren't even including BlackLivesMatter or details on how to help protesters and donate, just the black squares. Completely pointless.

Philadelphia Inquirer Apologizes For ‘Deeply Offensive’ Headline On Protests ColumnThe Philadelphia Inquirer has apologized for using the headline “Buildings Matter, Too” on a commentary about the damage caused to buildings in the city during anti-racism protests following the death of George Floyd Same thing major brands do; purposefully incite anger and then later 'apologize'. They damn well knew the effect that headline would have but they went ahead and printed it anyway. Institutional racism. Now they believe that they have so many of them in positions of authority and power, they felt they can come out and its ok to be a racist. I used to wonder how Hitler was able to do all he did. I don't anymore. Yes, another axx kissing won't hurt. You do plenty of that page after page.
