Surely no one who has consumed copious amounts of diet soda has ever had cancer before.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And butter lubricates the blood. Make sure you eat 6 sticks a day Agent orange!
HAHAHA, the president of the united states is a moron! LOL, this is a very funny thing and not a terrifying problem we should address immediately!
I stopped at "Trump apparently thinks" and said "naaaaaah"
Knowing that 47% of US voters will vote for this guy no matter what he says, does or fails to do is utterly painful. This man shouldn't be allowed to run a lemonade stand, much less an elected office or branch of government.

I feel like it would kill all your cells if it could do that.
My completely unscientific theory is that all the preservatives in his food are, well, preserving him. Which is why he's still up and moving around.
Please note that Trump insists on drinking from the small Diet Coke bottle.
A regular 16-ounce bottle makes his hands look so tiny
Maybe he meant to say, “Your dad argues that diet soda is good for him because it kills grass if you pour it on grass, so therefore it must kill brain cells inside the head, and that is why he is declaring war against every third-world country while the Democrats want to declare him unfit to serve as POTUS.”
Yes it is good for him and I think he should drink gallons of it. More of a good thing is even better!
Since a diet high in sugar does kill human cells and cancer cells are human cells, soda does in fact kill cancer.
Start drinking Roundup (TM) NOW!!
Probably does, it kills everything else, if you put a single cancer cell in it, it will die, of course you would have to kill the rest of the body first since cancer reproduces faster than the rest of the cells.
Silly people. Trump is incapable of thought.
