So yesterday the Trump administration announced that they would be asking the FDA to look into banning flavored e cigarettes due to the fact that six people in this country have now died from a sudden illnesses related to vaping. And we're going to get to that in a minute because that's an absolutely ridiculous response from this administration. But first I want to focus on what Donald Trump said to the reporters when they were kind of coming up with this plan. Here is Donald Trump's statement about why he and Melania are very passionate about this vaping issue,
[but we can't allow people to get sick and we can't have our youth. You still affected. And I'm hearing it. And that's how the first lady got involved. She's got a son together that is a, a beautiful young man and she feels very, very strongly about it. She's seen it. We're both reading it. A lot of people are reading it, but people are dying with vaping. So we're looking at it very closely. And]
so you notice something odd, right? Melania has a son together. D Do you have a son together with Melania or are you saying that Melania son is, he's all together. There's not pieces of him elsewhere. He is all together. You could have just said we have a son. You could have even said my son. And more importantly, you also could have mentioned his name because you did kind of talk about Melania's kid for a few seconds there, but you never mentioned his name. You never mentioned you specifically were his father. And I'm honest to God wondering if you legitimately forgot that baron was your kid or maybe you know something about Baron's parentage that the rest of us don't. I mean, I know you haven't really been too involved in that kid's life when he was just four months old. You were out there banging stormy Daniels.
So maybe you did just legitimately forget that he was in fact your son. But again, that's just a humorous aside. We do have a very real issue to talk about here. And this is the administration's decision, uh, to have the FDA at least temporarily ban flavored e-cigarettes, which they would be unbanned after the FDA approves them under this current plan that they've got, which will still take several weeks to implement if they do in fact go that route. Here's the thing, most of the people, the 400 plus people in this country who have had these mysterious vaping illnesses, uh, it's been the THC vapes, most of them, not the flavored e-cigarettes. So you're banning the thing that's not causing the problem. Second of all, it's likely a bad batch. Why? Because regulations on e-cigarettes and e have been very lax to the point of being almost nonexistent.
