President Donald Trump made a striking claim during a recent White House press event, telling those gathered that an unnamed new drug has the ability to bring patients back from death’s door.
“We know the drug works,” Trump, 79, said during the press conference at the White House on Monday, May 11, per a clip shared on X. “We’ve taken people that were dead. We had a person given the last rites — gone, the kids are crying and everything — and started them on this drug. And the person became better. It works.”
I was sort of wondering if maybe he was saying it with hyperbole. Like the drug is very effective and people who you thought weren’t going to recover from a terrible condition do with this drug. But no, he’s literally saying that they’re dead and have been dead for a while by the sounds of it and then someone injects the corpse with this and then they’re alive again.
I’m gonna go ahead and say that that is the most transparent lie he’s come up with so far, and he’s had some doozies. I also think we should test it on him.
