Wow, they sure spent a lot of money flying in all those "top Doctors and Medical Experts from across the globe."
Seems to me they could let the baby get some experimental treatment in the U.S. that they don't even have to pay for.
The only reason to object is because "Trump is for it".
I love all the "compassion" being shown by the anti-Trumps.
They'll let a kid die just to make Trump "wrong".
Experimental treatment!! It is a terminally ill baby boy not a lab rat! This unfortunate child has a rare incurable disease and cannot see, hear, utter a sound, swallow and can only breath because a machine is breathing for him, his brain is dying bit by bit, are you suggesting Trump knows better than the Dr's? The decision made IN COURT is not a decision made lightly you can bet on that, the poor parents of this boy are (obviously) blind to his suffering, at least they have an excuse to be. I don't blame Trump for his comments, in fact I feel sure they were made with the best of intentions but the reality is that doing anything other than letting this poor child die peacefully is cruel.
Wow! A Tweet from Trump offering to help a British baby. I'm so impressed. I'm especially impressed considering he wants to cut Medicaid funding to US citizens and leave the poor uninsured and without healthcare or options. MAGA!
Talk about cherry picking. He wants to cut medicaid to welfare bums who fake a disability and call it a career.

The parents are blinded by grief, that is obvious to anybody, what we DON'T want is for a poor small baby boy to suffer and that is exactly what will happen, experimental treatment bloody hell it sounds like something Josef Mengele would suggest for the Jews in Aushwitz, the people that have come to this decision are experts and just because they are not from the USA doesn't make them any less of an expert. Keeping this poor boy alive is cruel and THAT is why the courts have come to their decision.
Whilst I have every respect for Michio Hirano, a New York neurologist at Columbia University Medical Center experimenting with a new medication, deoxynucleotide monophosphate, that significantly extended the life of mice with mutated genes, and have every respect for the John Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore where the experimental treatment is currently being carried out, and I hope they can help find a cure in the future for this dreadful condition.
However in this case the baby has irreversible brain damage and such a poor quality of life that you have to ask yourself is such treatment appriopriate, especially if the child is in pain.

No offers of help from the "caring" left though. So much for the Clinton foundation.
Very funny. You cite one instance where he cares yet conveniently omit that he has little care for the tens of millions of Americans that would no longer have health coverage because of his plan.

Can you provide us information specifically where he has said this?

The Trump budget, for one. It bloated the war machine even more and cut SS and Medicaid.
