So this media entity thinks the president saying something would be interesting to check on and that researchers were already looking at it, is the same as a recommendation? I DON’T THINK SO! Perhaps Dettol should come up with some type of disinfectant to eliminate Trump Derangement Syndrome that this news site could use.

But...he managed to get elected first time out to the highest position on the world...now, maybe, just maybe, he is not as thick as he seems.... And maybe, just maybe, the fact that he followed a number of completely ineffectual presidents allows him make changes that have a very real impact in the lives of ordinary Americans....and maybe, those ordinary Americans are willing to vote for him again... Maybe, just maybe, you are suffering from Trump derangement syndrome...if the only reason you can think of to reason why a reality tv star like Trump got elected is to assume that 60 million Americans are thick then you need must think that Irish people including you are the stupidest people on this plant based on who we elect.
