Donny’s New Public Health Menace: Tylenol Causes Autism, Apparently
Analysis of Trump's Misinformation on Paracetamol and Public Health
Assault on DemocracyRationale
By promoting unfounded health claims, Trump undermines public trust in scientific institutions and health authorities, which can destabilize the foundations of informed democracy. Such actions can polarize society and erode civil discourse, aligning with the framework's categories of civil liberties erosion and delegitimization of expertise.
In case you thought the Mad King had run out of ways to weaponize ignorance, Donny is now moonlighting as a cranky YouTube wellness influencer. His latest gem? Claiming that Tylenol (paracetamol for the UK crowd) during pregnancy causes autism. Yes, really. Forget decades of peer-reviewed studies—Donny’s gut instinct is all the science he needs.
Donny went on to baselessly claim vaccines are also being incorrectly applied, completely contrary to all the scientific thinking:
“They pump so much stuff into those beautiful little babies, it’s a disgrace... It looks like they’re pumping into a horse. You have a little child, a little fragile child and you get a vat of 80 different vaccines.”
Donny is not a medic or a scientist. Christ he's not even a politician or business man. His top quack, RFK Jr is also unqualified in any related medical discipline to make the sort of claims that they are. They have presented zero evidence to back this up. It's just another roll for the international embarrassment record.
When they're so fucking stupid, they have no idea how stupid they are, or appear to anyone with a modicum of critical thinking. Sadly, there are still around 70 million or so people in the United States who seem to lap this up and take it as fact.
So when Donny announces to the nation that Tylenol is going to give you all the autism, some of these people will believe him.
Experts Facepalm, Again
Unsurprisingly, doctors, scientists, and even politicians worldwide are horrified. UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting told pregnant women to ignore the nonsense entirely. Barack Obama went further, calling Donny’s remarks “violence against the truth.” That’s not hyperbole—fearmongering about common medicines risks real harm, scaring expectant mothers into avoiding safe treatments and putting both them and their babies at risk.
A Familiar Playbook
This is Donny in a nutshell: toss out a baseless claim, stoke panic, and position himself as the “only one brave enough” to say it. It’s the same anti-science, anti-expert schtick that brought us bleach injections and UV light “inside the body.” And just like then, the fallout will be public confusion, unnecessary fear, and possibly worse health outcomes.
When Truth Becomes the Enemy
The danger isn’t just one offhanded remark—it’s the pattern. Every time Donny disregards established science, he chips away at public trust in doctors, researchers, and institutions. And when trust collapses, disinformation wins. That’s not just reckless; it’s a direct assault on public health and democracy itself.
Donny’s Approval Ratings: Schrödinger’s Polls
According to Donny, his approval ratings are the best ever, maybe even “the best in history.” According to literally every major pollster, they’re sliding downhill like one of his golf balls into a water hazard. Both can’t be true… but when has reality ever mattered in Donnyland?
The Gospel According to Donny
Forbes reports that Trump is out there crowing about “record-breaking” popularity, blissfully ignoring the numbers that show a steady decline. It’s vintage Donny: inflate the balloon until it pops, then shout that the sound was applause. The White House spin machine is churning so hard it could power half the Eastern Seaboard, but the harder they spin, the faster the public seems to be jumping off the ride.
Still too High
The reality is Donny's approval has dropped to record low of his second term. Whilst this is positive news that the tide is turning against him, it's still jaw dropping that he has any support whatsoever.
The brain dead cultists continue to blindly and proudly wear their MAGA hats and chant USA, so long as they're "owning the libs" they almost don't seem to care or realise how much it's costing them personally.
Delusion as a Policy Platform
Here’s the thing: approval ratings aren’t just about ego—they’re a reflection of whether people think the guy in charge knows what he’s doing. Instead of addressing, say, inflation, war, or democracy being held together by duct tape and prayer, Donny’s busy workshopping new lines about how loved he is. It’s like a captain insisting the ship is “making great time” while the hull takes on water.
The Mad King’s Rosy Glasses
The gap between Donny’s self-image and public sentiment could not be starker. In his mind, he’s the most beloved leader since George Washington. In reality, he’s more like the guy at karaoke who thinks he’s nailing Sinatra while the crowd quietly Googles the nearest exit.
