Trump Wonders Aloud If He Should Be Taking Insulin During White House Event and His Surgeon General Had to Step In

Trump Wonders Aloud If He Should Be Taking Insulin During White House Event and His Surgeon General Had to Step In
CNBC

President Donald Trump raised eyebrows earlier this month when he announced he'd been taking the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine—a brutal anti-malarial drug Trump claims shows promise in warding off the virus, despite little more than anecdotal evidence.

It turns out hydroxychloroquine isn't the only drug Trump muses about taking for no reason.


At a speech geared towards seniors with diabetes on Tuesday, the President jokingly asked if he should take insulin.

Watch below.

Trump said:

"I don't use Insulin. Should I be? I never thought about it, but I know a lot of people are very badly affected, right? unbelievable."

It wasn't long before a reporter asked Trump if someone who doesn't have diabetes should take insulin, and that's when Trump referred to Surgeon General Jerome Adams to bail him out.

In an effort to validate Trump's speculation about insulin, Adams said:

"Your body, Mr. President, actually makes insulin endogenously and people such as you and I, we make our own insulin. So, yes, we do utilize insulin, but we make it ourselves. Other people who have diabetes oftentimes need exogenous insulin...so that they can be healthy and live long and successful lives."

Good save, General.




And what's with Trump's fixation on taking unnecessary drugs?




What a mess.

GOP Rep. Ousted From Chairmanship By Trump Calls Out Colleagues For Russian Propaganda In Resurfaced Clip

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
