President Trump is confronting what every other president has ignored for decades.

Chronic disease is rising, and life expectancy is falling fast.

He just released a bombshell report exposing the quiet poisoning of America.

And you won’t believe how bad it is until you see these stats.

Before we get started, do me one favor: bookmark this thread and share it. 👆

They’ve been quietly poisoning us for decades. It’s time everyone found out.

It started with a warning.

Sitting with HHS Secretary RFK Jr. by his side, President Trump launched the unveiling of the MAHA report—the most sweeping federal health initiative in modern history—with a grim diagnosis.

“There’s something wrong,” he said, his tone heavy.

He wasn’t speaking in vague generalities.

Trump listed the cold, hard numbers.

“More than 40% of American children now have at least one chronic health condition.”

“Since the 1970, rates of childhood cancer have soared in many cases by nearly 50%.”

“In the 1960s, less than 5% of the children were obese. Now over 20% are obese.”

“Just a few decades ago, 1 in 10,000 children had autism. Today it’s 1 in 31.”

Each one was a glaring signal of a system in collapse.

Trump then vowed to get to the root of the crisis and “not stop until we defeat the chronic disease epidemic in America.”

The report lays out the full scope of that epidemic in unforgiving detail.

Here are some of the many alarming health revelations uncovered in the report:

1. Nearly half of American children now have a chronic illness.

That includes asthma, ADHD, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune diseases, and more. In places like West Virginia, over half of all children on Medicaid or CHIP are dealing with at least one of these issues.

2. Autism rates have exploded—from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 31.

In parts of New Jersey, the rate is as high as 1 in 19 boys. The trend is accelerating, and for the first time, someone in government is publicly asking: why?

3. Childhood cancer is up more than 40% since the 1970s.

We’ve spent trillions on healthcare, but more kids are getting sick—and no one seems interested in investigating the causes.

3. Ultra-processed food now accounts for 70% of the calories kids eat.

That includes school lunches filled with lab-made, shelf-stable junk. It’s fueling an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and early metabolic dysfunction.

4. Teen antidepressant use is up 1,400%.

Suicide is now the second leading cause of death for teenagers. Instead of fixing the root causes, we’re medicating the symptoms.

6. Toxic chemicals are showing up in breast milk, baby food, and even umbilical cord blood.

From hormone disruptors to known carcinogens, babies are being exposed before they’re even born.

7. ADHD medications rose 250% in just a decade—antipsychotics are up 800%.

But there’s no improvement in learning or behavior outcomes. The report calls it a “medical overreaction to a societal crisis.”

8. Food stamp programs are contributing to childhood obesity.

States like Nebraska and Indiana are banning soda and junk food from SNAP purchases—and others are following their lead.

9. Teens now spend nine hours a day on screens.

That, combined with chronic sleep deprivation, is driving up anxiety, depression, and developmental delays.

10. Our health agencies have been compromised.

The FDA, CDC, and NIH all take money from the industries they’re supposed to regulate. The MAHA report calls it a “systemic failure.”

Now, back to the story you came for.

At that moment, RFK Jr. stepped forward—not just as Secretary of Health, but as the man who helped bring this moment to life.

“I do want to say something,” he began.

He then told a story that few had heard.

“Because I get a lot of credit for steering this administration toward the MAHA movement—but I joined the campaign in August.”

He revealed that Trump had delivered a speech in June—long before Kennedy joined the team—that laid out many of the same issues now central to the report.

“It was a MAHA speech—before MAHA existed.”

That speech, he said, caught his attention.

It showed Trump wasn’t waiting for political permission.

He was already moving in this direction.

Turning to the president, Kennedy said:

“I want to thank you for your vision, for your courage, for standing up… President Trump is a populist president.”

“He is on the side of the middle class, the working class, the poor in this country.”

The audience erupted.

And then, in one of the most remarkable moments of the day, Kennedy added, “I’ve never seen a president—Democrat or Republican—that is willing to stand up to industry when it’s the right thing to do.”...
