American Cancer Society Brutally Fact Checks Trump's Claim That He Is Responsible for Lowest Cancer Death Rate 'in Recorded History'

American Cancer Society Brutally Fact Checks Trump's Claim That He Is Responsible for Lowest Cancer Death Rate 'in Recorded History'

Last summer, former Vice President Joe Biden said on the campaign trail that his administration would prioritize cancer research and the search for a cure.

Donald Trump Jr., at a later campaign rally for his father, mocked Biden for supposedly insinuating that his administration would cure cancer.


But in a tweet on Thursday, President Donald Trump implied that his administration was responsible for the lowest cancer death rate in history.

While Trump is correct that lowered cancer deaths are undoubtedly good news, he's incorrect to imply that it was a product of his administration.

Who corrected him on this? None other than Gary M. Reedy, chief executive officer of the American Cancer Society.

Reedy said in a statement:

"Since taking office, the president has signed multiple spending bills that have included increases in funding for cancer research at the National Institutes of Health and National Cancer Institute -- though the impact of those increases are not reflected in the data contained in this report. The administration has an opportunity to significantly impact future declines in both cancer incidence and mortality by increasing access to comprehensive health care, supporting robust and sustained increases in federal funding for cancer research and passing and implementing evidence-based tobacco control policies."

The Trump administration's proposed cuts to the National Institute of Health actually would've resulted in reduced funds for the National Cancer Institute.

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) pointed this out.

People weren't surprised that Trump claimed to have lowered cancer deaths, but that didn't stop them from calling him out.








What a mess.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
