President Donald Trump made a striking claim during a recent White House press event, telling those gathered that an unnamed new drug has the ability to bring patients back from death’s door.

“We know the drug works,” Trump, 79, said during the press conference at the White House on Monday, May 11, per a clip shared on X. “We’ve taken people that were dead. We had a person given the last rites — gone, the kids are crying and everything — and started them on this drug. And the person became better. It works.”

    I was sort of wondering if maybe he was saying it with hyperbole. Like the drug is very effective and people who you thought weren’t going to recover from a terrible condition do with this drug. But no, he’s literally saying that they’re dead and have been dead for a while by the sounds of it and then someone injects the corpse with this and then they’re alive again.

    I’m gonna go ahead and say that that is the most transparent lie he’s come up with so far, and he’s had some doozies. I also think we should test it on him.

    next he is gonna say they had chatgpt discover it.

    seriously though he is probably using a very loose definition of death like “heart stopped 1ms ago” under which umbrella we already have shots like adrenaline.

    The remarks appeared to be connected to the Right to Try Act, legislation Trump signed during his first administration that allows terminally ill patients to pursue experimental treatments not yet fully approved.

    There ya go, just another scam in the end

    After all that has happened I would only be slightly surprised if the Trump regime starts a zombie apocalypse.

    This is 100% because scientists from Cuba (and Argentina) have just revealed a potential cure for some kinds of lung cancer

      Didn’t he say this a few weeks ago? Presumably opening the UFO files didn’t distract from the Epstein files enough, so he’s switching from aliens to zombies

      I don’t know if any of this stupid discussion is real, but if it is, then we also have time travel, because the post mentions that the zombie drug was announced on May 11.

        Ah I didn’t catch the date, I just assumed it was a recent reaction to something, and that stuck out as the obvious recent development to me

    What do you think he was talking about with his doctor that made them bring up a drug that brings people back from the dead?

    The president went on to address how such medications get tested, adding, “And some [drugs] don’t work. You learn very fast. It’s called the ultimate test, I think, right? They test all these things. They use animals all over the place, they use everything to test because a person’s going to die.”
