In general, Trump has no clue about anything medicine-related, and he should just shut up about that topic unless he's briefed by experts who provide him with specific info he needs to incorporate into a speech. Some people are like that. They just go to the doctor, follow instructions, and don't question anything, nor try to look into exactly the mechanism of the disease and/or treatment.
A lot of bad health outcomes occur that way, because doctors are often wrong (especially when they see you in a rushed appointment), so it's always good to sanity check what they're suggesting and decide if you agree with their diagnosis and/or treatment, and if you're willing to take the risks or tolerate the side effects. I've been especially diligent about this since I've gotten older and have developed various (minor to moderate) health conditions which I didn't have before my mid-40s.
Anyway, this Tylenol/autism thing is stupid, and RFK Jr. has mostly been the crackpot I expected him to be. He has a few decent ideas (such as removing dangerous additives from foods), but a lot of his theories and beliefs are quackery.
My least favorite things about Trump II have been the tariffs and his appointments of retards/wackos/weirdos to various positions.
Of course, Biden appointed that weirdo "Rachel" Levine to Assistant Secretary for Health, plus did an indirect appointment of luggage stealing freak Sam Brinton, so it's not like he did a lot better in that area.
