America's ongoing experiment in handing microphones to cranks took another turn when RFK Jr. floated the thoroughly debunked claim that early circumcision doubles autism risk, prompting Donald Trump to claim expertise on the matter as only he can: "I've studied this a long time."
What that study consisted of remains mercifully unspecified, but few exchanges better capture the current state of right-wing governance than one conspiracy enthusiast offering junk medical folklore while another instantly claims a deep personal research background in infant circumcision.
Somewhere, an unaccredited University is preparing to award Trump a PhD for his deep research into this matter.
