Newsweek reports:
During Thursday night’s rally in Cincinnati, President Donald Trump elicited a rapturous response from his supporters by claiming the U.S. is about to cure childhood cancer and end the AIDS epidemic.
The president provided no evidence to support the assertion, and did not explain how or when he expects these hugely significant milestones to be achieved. Though the crowd at the U.S Bank Arena were delighted by the president’s promises, social media users and scientists were more skeptical.
“The things we’re doing in our country today, there’s never been anything like it,” Trump told his adoring crowd. “We will be ending the AIDS epidemic shortly in America, and curing childhood cancer very shortly.”
