Trump Apparently Thinks Soda Kills Cancer Cells Because ‘It Kills Grass’

The man who suggested people drink bleach during the COVID pandemic is back with another hit. President 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. “I’m not even going to argue this right now,” Oz continued. Oz then shared an anecdote of walking in on Trump drinking an orange Fanta on Air Force One, where he again repeated the theory. “He’s got a Fanta on the desk and I say, ‘Are you kidding me?’ So he starts to sheepishly grin, he goes, ‘You know, this stuff’s good for me, it kills cancer cells.’” The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center declined to comment.
