The man who suggested people drink bleach during the COVID pandemic is back with another hit.

Donald Trump reportedly thinks soda is good for him, because it kills grass — and therefore it must also kill cancer cells.

The wild revelation comes via Dr. Mehmet Oz, Trump’s administrator for Medicare and Medicaid, who shared the anecdote on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast Tuesday.

“Your dad argues that diet soda is good for him because it kills grass if you pour it on grass, so therefore it must kill cancer cells inside the body,” Oz told Trump Jr. in disbelief, to which Trump Jr. just laughed and shrugged knowingly.

    Trump has cancer and is killing it with soda? Well, at least he's treating it correctly. Donald, add bleach to your sodas for extra killing power. Lots of bleach.

    This is easy to disprove, if carbonated drinks could kill cancer Trump would've died already.

    This honestly blew my mind, and I don't think he's ever topped this level of stupid. To this day it may be the dumbest thing he ever said. I'm just in awe of this reality.

    To be fair thats not the quote "And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? So it'd be interesting to check that."

    Still dumb

    Nah, President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho at least wanted the smartest man in the world trying to solve problems for him. This administration wouldn't let a smart man near anything.

    Oh, we're way beyond that. We left that plot behind the horizon as we zoomed away and left it in the dust.

    If anything the comparison is actually kind of insulting to Camacho at this point. He was an idiot and a blowhard but he actually appointed the most competent people he could find and cared about the average person's well being.

    Killing cancer is really easy. The hard part is keeping the patient alive while doing it.

    Draino kills grass, too. Way more effectively than diet soda.

    I know that there's a lot of crazy to unpack, here, but can we talk about the grass for a second? Just how much soda did he pour on his lawn? To make him think of soda as some kind of grass killer?

    Knowing that 47% of US voters will vote for this guy no matter what he says, does or fails to do is utterly painful. This man shouldn't be allowed to run a lemonade stand, much less an elected office or branch of government.

    Just let him keep drinking it by the gallon and the problem will take care of itself.

    Trump Jr actually laughed and said 'Well if you think about, there might be something to it...', something like that.

    I've seen the video clip.

    Then Dr. Oz is very obviously internally seething, but wearing a happy mask on top of it.

    Surely no one who has consumed copious amounts of diet soda has ever had cancer before.
