President Trump vowed to push America into new “medical frontiers” at a campaign rally on Tuesday evening, saying the US will eradicate AIDS and cure cancer.

Trump made the proclamation at his 2020 reelection campaign kickoff in Orlando, Florida.

“We will push onward with new medical frontiers,” Trump said at the rally.

“We will come up with the cures to many, many problems, to many, many diseases, including cancer and others. And we’re getting closer all the time,” he added. “We will eradicate AIDS in America once and for all and we’re very close.”

Trump’s comments came soon after his son Donald Trump Jr. criticized former Vice President Joe Biden for suggesting the US would cure cancer if he was elected president.

“Why the hell didn’t you do that over the last 50 years, Joe?” Trump Jr. said to the crowd.

Immediately after Trump suggested the US would eradicate AIDS and cure cancer, he added that the US would “lay the foundation for landing American astronauts on the surface of Mars.”
