Taking paracetamol while pregnant is safe and there's no evidence it raises the risk of autism, ADHD and developmental issues in children, say experts behind a major new review.

Pregnant women "should feel reassured" by the findings, they say, which contradict controversial claims from US President Donald Trump last year that paracetamol "is no good" and pregnant women should "fight like hell" not to take it.

This is, of course, Tylenol or acetaminophen. Some vague US official is spouting that "no, Dr. Donald Trump PhD was right, and this extensive study cannot measure up to his massive presidential brain", but it's clear he was making it all up to support Brainworm Bob in his quest to remove all science from US healthcare.

1. Everything Trump says is nonsense

The man is the most ignorant person in history to reach a pinnacle of power. His narcissism is so deep that he is incapable of learning or thinking coherently.

Since he always thinks of himself as the smartest person in any room, it is impossible for him to listen and learn. That is a defining characteristic of a stupid person.

Trump is an idiot.

2. Sign At my Ob/Gyn

Went for my yearly girly parts exam this week. In every exam room, and even in the restroom, there were signs explaining that acetaminophen was safe for pregnant women to use.
