Trump claims he'll 'end the AIDS epidemic,' 'cure childhood cancer' at Cincinnati rally

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump made few new promises during his campaign speech Thursday night in Cincinnati. But two promises resonated with people, judging by interest on the internet: curing pediatric cancer and curing AIDS.

During the rally at U.S Bank Arena, he said: "The things we're doing in our country today, there's never been anything like it. We will be ending the AIDS epidemic shortly in America, and curing childhood cancer very shortly."

Let's take the promises, which both originated in his 2019 State of the Union message, one at a time.

First, the cure rate for pediatric cancers is already at 80 percent. Kaiser Health News reports that's because "of the tremendous progress that's been made with childhood leukemia." But for other pediatric cancers, "the cure rates haven’t changed in 20 years," Kaiser says.

1. I wish him well, but I can't get over the idea this is like a run for 8th grade class president. . .

In 8th grade, Bobby Nunkle promised no homework & free ice cream for all. Absent specifics, and a credible scenario for success, Trump's promises are no different than Bobby's (with the exception we all liked Bobby -- he wasn't a contemptible jerkwad).
