Here's one that's real: he's promised to ban high-fructose corn syrup, which is banned in most other developed countries. It should have been banned in the US decades ago.

He might be a wakadoodle, but he might still get a few things right by accident

Hell try and then we'll be reading a news story about how his brain worms finally kennedy'd him the next hour after the attempt. HFCS and the multitude of corporations producing and using it aren't some pushover industry like oil and natural gas, they have actual power.

There's a reason corn is in everything processed in the US.

How tf is the oil and natural gas industry a pushover? They're literally destroying the earth and getting away with it.

I'm not sure what standard you are applying that would place it in a "developing" or other category.
