Trump’s support for asbestos has been welcomed in Russia, a primary asbestos supplier to the US. In 2018, a Russian asbestos company began marketing asbestos with Trump’s face and a seal reading “Approved by Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States.”
Fuck’s sake.
I mean, it’s been obvious for over a decade. When he came out warning about some obscure country that people should be wary of, and nobody (including him, to be clear) has ever heard of this “threatening” country or faction or whatever, with absolutely zero context or relevance to the US, and just happens to be in the crosshairs of Russia…. Yeah.
I am searching for this crazy-ass irrelevant unscripted tangent he went on, but when I search for “trump russian talking points opposing country”, even tossing “first term” in there, I am inundated with all of the recent talking points he has been making. This wasn’t Ukraine, by the way. I wish I remembered, but I have better things to do than dig through the historic tire fire that is this administration.
Americans love Russia because Russia told them they are fellow conservatives who also hate purple haired gay people. All while regulatory capturing their country and destroying them.
Americans are brain-cooked by 30 years of 24/7 Big News brainrot. the rest of the world has been aware of that since the mid 2000s. and its only multiplied since then.
“What is the absolute dumbest fucking thing we can do this afternoon? I know!”
Remember kids, congress could put a stop to this tonight. And by “this”, I mean the trump presidency. Just think about that for a while.
Time to re-lead the gasoline too, I guess.
Next up: OSHA no longer exists.
I swear to god I was reading a comment on lemmy not 2 months ago that was joking about them bringing back asbestos. C’mon, don’t be shy. Which one of you jinxed it?
Might have been me. Looks like leaded gas is back on the menu boys.
Quick, only think of good things that they banned. No, no, no! Not Lawn Darts!
“Buckyballs” and other small magnet fidget toys. (For adults only of course!)
Bold of you to assume that a large number of adults are smart enough not to eat them. Just look at the Marines…
Kinder Surprise eggs.
Leaded pipes were pretty great too!
Chlorofluorocarbons made the best hair sprays, why not bring those back? The ozone layer is leftist propaganda anyway
Irradiated plateware licking it’s lips as we speak.
So long as you don’t eat the radioactive material you should be perfectly fine. Hence why we should not put it on plates.
Trump already tried it, or at least dip the toe, on the first term. It was just a question of when.
Russia is the world’s largest producer of asbestos, with an annual production of around 630,000 million metric tons in 2023.
Why settle for the knock off asbestos when you can have the original?
If it’s not from Asbestos then it’s just sparkling mesothelioma
To be clear here: This is reversing a ban on ONE type of asbestos that’s often used in automotive parts (such as brake pads). They’re not advocating for us to bring it back for things like loose fill insulation, building materials, etc.
Also, to be clear: It’s still stupid and likely a combination of Russia being the largest producer of Asbestos and/or Trump having an obsession with overturning Biden-era rulings.
I did not have “asbestos returns” on my 2025 bingo card. What’s next, DDT?
Putting my money on CFCs, he probably thinks 80s hair sprays were way better
Wait wait - radium watches.
Freon baby! I want my shit to be cold again!
Naww… there’s way worse
Leaded gas, arsenic green, Prussian blue, and mercury in everything.
Agent Orange
I am required by my state to complete 2hrs of asbestos safety training a year, and i dont even work with it directly. It is crazy dangerous and my jaw is on the floor that this is real.
Next up is lead in gasoline.
I recently learned that leaded gas is still used for aviation. Some small planes like Cessnas can be 80 years old and still flying, but do not have engines that are certified to run on leaded gas. So they have leaded.

There has to be a joke about NASCAR on there somewhere. I don’t know if they used leaded fuel or not.
Same direction, backwards
I guess other countries won’t need to defend themselves against the US in the future because Trump is actively trying to kill off more Americans than any other country could.
Invasions are probably still funded, though they may be driven by the masters in Russia and Israel. Also all damage to the environment hurts all of us. There is no planet b.
Have to generate as much cancer as possible! The MAGA death cult in action.
And then cut healthcare, both public and veteran
Listen, I eat and breathe asbestos every day. I’m healthy as fuck. Libs want you to be afraid of things that cause cancer. Don’t listen to them. /s
I wish all trump supporters would get cancer and die. Not /s.
Make Asbestos Great Again?
Make America (have) mesothelioma again!
Before you do something stupid - No, you WON’T be allowed to fly over Europe with your leaded fuel-powered airplanes, America
Avgas has always been leaded, they never stopped using it.
Hoggish Greedly: “This is too much for even me, and I’m a Captain Planet villain!”
send him in
Wild to think this guy might literally have killed me
He fires vax experts, another pandemic hits, we scramble but it’s too late… maybe you die, maybe me, maybe us both.
