If President Obama ever slurred through a speech and lied about an AIDS vaccine, he'd have been impeached and removed faster than trump "ran" down that ramp.

The sad part is that as soon as I saw "AIDS vaccine" trending, I knew Donald Trump was the one who had said something stupid about it.

Sean Hannity was right. Donald Trump could cure cancer & the Fake Media wouldn't give him credit. Today @realDonaldTrump cured AIDS. I think he also cured Ebola, Cop Murder & Racism. So more many miracles coming our way in next 140 days from the great one. @seanhannity #Biden2020 https://t.co/oS6BqxKESj

Since Dr. Trump cured AIDS today, I bet he will tackle Alzheimer’s Wednesday, Parkinson’s Thursday and Cancer on Friday.

For the avoidance of all doubt …

There is no AIDS vaccine and health care for those with AIDS and HIV remains ludicrously expensive and inaccessible to countless folks who need it

I hope this clarifies the statement just put out by the "President" of the United States.

We can’t wait to see what Sarah Cooper does with this one.
