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.”

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.”

Might have been some crank lobbying Trump to allow the sale of a particular snake oil.

I thought he was on the outs with Joe because Joe said less than perfect things about him that one time

Trump uses his grace as a tool to shape others’ behavior. All that matters is the last thing you said about him. His vice president once called him “America’s Hitler.”

Maybe that just wasn't offensive to him.
