Trump Criticizes Government Amid Controversial Health Claims Afghanistan

President Trump drew fresh ridicule after criticizing “stupid people” while promoting unproven links between acetaminophen (Tylenol), vaccines, and autism alongside HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and claiming the FDA would warn doctors despite no supporting evidence. Tylenol maker Kenvue rejected any connection and warned pregnant women could face risks if they avoid needed medication, while public health experts note Kennedy’s anti-vaccine stance and disputes with CDC conclusions. At a memorial for Charlie Kirk, Trump also said “I hate my opponent” and quipped that “smart people don’t like me,” comments that prompted press follow-ups and defensive spin from White House aides. Media coverage highlights a broader pattern of viral gaffes and baffling statements from Trump — from “mice transgender” to mistaking Spain for a BRICS country — which fuel mockery and debate about his public remarks. Meanwhile, some figures such as Damon Dash have publicly defended Trump against criticisms (including repeated bankruptcies), framing attacks on him as unfair or “dumb.”
