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.

Musk Ripped After Explaining Why He's So Adamant About Colonizing Mars Right Now

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after explaining to Fox News personality Jesse Watters that he's set on colonizing Mars to ensure that human life continues once Earth is destroyed by the Sun—which is odd, because that eventually is billions of years away.

The Sun, our life-sustaining star, is essentially a massive nuclear reactor, continuously converting hydrogen into helium through fusion and radiating energy outward. But like all stars, it has a finite lifespan. Scientists estimate that the Sun will exhaust its core hydrogen supply in about five billion years, marking the beginning of the end of its stable life.
