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.”

How? How the fuck can anyone listen to this cunt and think "yep, this is the guy who should be president!"
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

He made them proud to be racist again. For that they'll follow him all the way to hell.

What do you think he was talking about with his doctor that made them bring up a drug that brings people back from the dead?
Starik@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 96d
Might have been some crank lobbying Trump to allow the sale of a particular snake oil.

I thought he was on the outs with Joe because Joe said less than perfect things about him that one time

Trump uses his grace as a tool to shape others’ behavior. All that matters is the last thing you said about him. His vice president once called him “America’s Hitler.”
GripenGal@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 95d
Maybe that just wasn't offensive to him.

Hopefully death.

This is 100% because scientists from Cuba (and Argentina) have just revealed a potential cure for some kinds of lung cancer
AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space · 17 pts · 95d
Didn’t he say this a few weeks ago? Presumably opening the UFO files didn’t distract from the Epstein files enough, so he’s switching from aliens to zombies
DougPiranha42@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 95d
I don’t know if any of this stupid discussion is real, but if it is, then we also have time travel, because the post mentions that the zombie drug was announced on May 11.
9point6@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 95d
Ah I didn't catch the date, I just assumed it was a recent reaction to something, and that stuck out as the obvious recent development to me
phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 40 pts · 95d
So Trump flatlined and they brought him back? Big mistake if so.
CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 95d
No we can tell it wasn't him in the example because he said people were crying about their loved ones death.

After all that has happened I would only be slightly surprised if the Trump regime starts a zombie apocalypse.

The possible of death are many.
A single drug could never avert all possible causes.
He and his followers believe in magic.

Indeed they do. Their entire world view is based on magical thinking. Its not unique to trump sycophants either. Being raised in a religion trains the brain to believe in magic. It's all so silly.
Typhoon@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 95d
They don't believe in magic. They want YOU to believe in magic.

After several minutes it's meaningless to restart a heart anyway, as irreversible brain damage will occur. We already can restart a recently stopped heart by injecting them with epinephrine (adrenaline.)

That's alright, the patient can then start a new career in politics where possession of a functional frontal lobe is considered detrimental to career progression.

not if he is pumped full of preservatives from eating mcodonalds.
Avicenna@programming.dev · 13 pts · 94d
next he is gonna say they had chatgpt discover it.
seriously though he is probably using a very loose definition of death like "heart stopped 1ms ago" under which umbrella we already have shots like adrenaline.

yeah you know what with the way things have been going at this point it honestly wouldn't surprise me if the Umbrella Corporation actually existed an the T-Virus was a real thing. I'm just waiting for them to announce a couple dudes named Spencer and Wesker being named to some position in the administration.

don't forget randomly scattering around typewriters and ink ribbons. gotta save our progress.

I’m going off rip here because I haven’t educated myself on it, but this seems suspiciously like the Citizen’s United of human testing at first glance and because Trump is promoting it.

We are so blessed to be living in a time where the president of the United States says these things. Lmfo. :)

Our president is a snake oil salesman. Not even a new thing for him either. This is definitely part of some money making scheme just like his quinine bullshit.

Half of the news on Lemmy is from Newsweek. I try to call it out every time I see it, but it never changes.
echodot@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 94d
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.

It recently dropped that Melania was sold to Trump from Epstein.
I guess this is the distraction. Aliens wasn't provocative enough.
