    Ex-TV show host with several bankrupted casino to his credit should not be prescribing medicine.

    Only you, Donald Trump, should be taking medicine… all the time.

      Given his tendency to just play with whichever golf ball has the best position, whether it’s his or not, I would say he probably won.

      That’s not even a joke: https://uproxx.com/sports/donald-trump-course-golf-championship-stole-childs-ball/

    Tariffs are economic medicine just like ivermectin is viral medicine.

    So his statement is correct, but his application of it is criminally negligent.

      The original phrasing is worse because he’s saying “I know they’re going down, I know it sucks for poors, but I don’t give a shit. It’s literally a price I’m willing to have them pay on my behalf.”

      God I hope you guys Mussolini that prick.

    So do you Trump. You just need to take a different kind of medicine. I won’t say which one. I don’t need to get disappeared.

      Agreed. I’d like you to stick around. I think I recall the cure you’re referring to. Must be taken internally.

          So funny thing I just got banned on reddit for something like calling for explicit violence. My crime: a comment consisting of this image and only this image

    Maybe, but this is as stupid as taking double chemo when you don’t have cancer.

      I mean, chemo is primarily used for cancer - however it is also used to treat some autoimmune and blood disorders.

      I assume you mean as a healthy person though, which yeah… sounds miserable if you have no reason.
