Asked later by a reporter why he would take insulin, Trump asked surgeon general Jerome Adams to answer, in which he explained to the president that: 'Your body, Mr. President, actually makes insulin endogenously.'

pondered on Tuesday whether he should be taking insulin, a hormone typically prescribed to diabetics, during an announcement for a plan which would aim to drastically reduce the price of insulin for people on Medicare.

"I don't use insulin," Trump said."Should I be? Huh? I never thought about it. But I know a lot of people are very badly affected, right? Unbelievable." In people with Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas can’t make insulin. Those with the condition require several doses of insulin a day.

Please take it, President

Perhaps cyanide would be the best option.

Please begin NOW!

Does DJT know what “endogenously” mean?

realDonaldTrump total shitforbrains

In other words jlawrence like normal huh?

Y'all should be ashamed! This was taken sooo far out of context.

Learn something new every day I guess. I just figured he would have learned that in grade school. But at least he knows. And I'm sure his insulin is better than anyone else's insulin in all of history.

Our president is not a medical doctor. Who of the previous 44 was?

Trump resign!

Take the insulin Trump. What have you got to lose?

You step into that without looking, lol!

TRUMP YOU ARE MORE FRIGHTNING EVERY DAY!!!!

Why not just say “only people with diabetes needs to take insulin”. The people in his administration are fools Surgeon_General can’t be honest with trump he sure can’t be honest with the American people. Reporters never even called him out on saying potus healthier than him.

Fake news

🙄

So freaking stupid !!.. how can you vote for him !!

Dumb.

He would answer those questions about himself all day but goes into tantrums about anything else.

Used car salesman

Yes you do! LOTS OF IT!!!

I have learned not to trust what you say he said.

It must be difficult for Democrats to continually be reminded that Donald Trump is actually still the better choice for president of the United States than Hillary Clinton.

Can you imagine Joe Biden doing this...nope.

I’m sure he didn’t know what endogenously meant.

This man is not right in his head!

I’m sorry but President is really unintelligent when it comes to health and his body.

God I love it! The Master of Trolls has once again shown what these clowns are really like! Out of the hundreds of really important questions to ask the president you walked right into his Troll, and asks why he would take Insulin! This week is going to be great to watch

anotherspaniel Dumbass! VoteBiden2020 💙🇺🇸

Trump is the best president ever in our history. Try not get jealous. 4 more years. Deal with it. Trump saved the country should be grateful,if you don’t like trump move to China .

Yes....The more the better....

Somebody needs to subtly suggest he take large doses of arsenic, or antifreeze. All the cool world leaders are doing it.

So now he's going to take insulin Bwahahahaha Please let him. Please, please, please.

Trump has reached age 74 without learning anything. Well done sir.

He never thought about it because his damn pancreas works 🤦🏻‍♀️

but but Hillary’s emails !!

What's the point of this article? He referred a question he didn't know the answer to, to a medical expert.

JHolihan My gawd. How much longer?

lbpyyz Which prompted the question “do I need to take something for my endogenously?”

One less brain cell and he’d officially be classified as a vegetable.

Right after trump pointed at him and said “we picked a good one”

This dope seriously makes George W Bush look like a member of MENSA and a Rhodes Scholar. 🤦🏻‍♂️

He referred the question to a perfect expert, a medical doctor!!

The mans mental capacity is quite alarmingly poor.

I still sometimes can’t even believe this is real and that this is the man “leading” our country.

Does the country even have this level of special education teacher? There’s no way a person exists to help this man. NO WAY!

He probably thought that meant his body is a genious at producing insulin.

Sounds like a reporter asked a stupid question

unless of course, adderall and Big Mac grease dissolves insulin

He is SO D*MN STUPID. And so are every single one of his followers.

Does the SG not realize Trump has no idea what that means?

Trump doesn’t know if he’s a diabetic or not 🥴

Oy...

My name is Talita and i’m Marina’s mother. She’s a 1 year n 8 month old baby who was born with a rare disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy and needs the most expensive medication in the world. Help share the campaign to get her medication! PLEASE HELP🇧🇷

That's what he's supposed to do, and why he has people to consult.

and trump said 'see? he said I am generous'

Paul Feig says Trump and 'anti-Hillary movement' helped fuel 'Ghostbusters' reboot backlashPaul Feig thinks Donald Trump and anti-Hillary Clinton sentiments helped fuel the controversy around 2016's 'Ghostbusters' reboot.

Mayor Eric Garcetti saying the Department of Justice is concerned the city may pursue 'an arbitrary and heavy-handed approach' to coronavirus stay-at-home orders. Barr's 'Justice' Department can bugger off. We don't want no Trump justice here no thanks. Mayor Eric is doing fine, not perfect, but much better than orange baby who is out golfing while America dies I live here and practically everyone I know has had their opinion of garcetti and newsom skyrocket.
