    Here’s one that’s real: he’s promised to ban high-fructose corn syrup, which is banned in most other developed countries. It should have been banned in the US decades ago.

    He might be a wakadoodle, but he might still get a few things right by accident

      Yea, except somehow we’ll end up with something worse replacing it.

          No no, Trump’s tariffs on China are payback for not watching entanyl exportr. Just a stream of consciousness.

      I don’t think your corn growers would be very happy with that.

        Once they raise the global temperatures enough all of the Iowa corn farmers can just farm rice and sugar cane along the Iowa coastline.

          I propose we lower Texas enough to flood the Great Plains and revive the Ordovician Sea.

          Use golden syrup, sorghum or honey?

          Admission: I can’t stand pecan pie because of it’s hyper-sweetness. Maybe less corn soup would help?

            I think the problem is pecan pie’s entire existence depending on something terrible lol

      All the pro-small-government people I know (the ones wanting less oversight on guns) are excited for this ban and don’t see the irony that they’re really only small-government in the topics they want, big-government in others they decided are bad (hfcs, some red dye, banning men from women’s bathrooms). We all want government protections, turns out.

        Yeah, and to be clear, I’m not thrilled about him being in charge of health, but if that’s gonna be one of his things that he gets right, I would be stupid not to take what little solace I can get.

      This implies the US is a developed country.

        I mean, it is by most definitions that I’m aware of. It might be run by fascists, oligarchs, and ultracapitalists, but it’s definitely developed.

        I’m not sure what standard you are applying that would place it in a “developing” or other category.
