Major Donald Trump 'breaking news' sparks explosive GB News row: 'Hang on!'



A fiery debate broke out on GB News after President Donald Trump made headlines with his latest health announcement.

Trump claimed there may be a connection between pregnant women taking paracetamol (the active ingredient in Tylenol) and an increased risk of autism. Speaking from the Oval Office alongside Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., he suggested that doctors in the U.S. will soon be advised against prescribing the drug during pregnancy, except in cases of extreme fever.

This sparked a heated exchange between former Chief of Staff to Joe Biden, Susan Platt, and broadcaster Bev Turner.

Platt argued that “everything is connected,” linking Trump’s claims to broader issues such as cancer deaths and funding cuts for children’s health programs. Turner, visibly frustrated, pushed back and insisted the discussion stay on Trump’s specific medical claims, saying:

“Asking Donald Trump to present medical data doesn’t play to his strengths. He talks in headlines and relies on experts to back him up.”

Meanwhile, Tylenol manufacturer Kenvue quickly defended its product, telling the BBC:

“Independent, sound science shows that acetaminophen does not cause autism. We strongly disagree with any suggestion otherwise and are deeply concerned about the risk of discouraging pregnant women from using a safe medication.”

The company stressed that acetaminophen remains the safest pain-relief option for expectant mothers.

Still, the debate continues. Some viewers on GB News and social media argued that more research should be welcomed. One parent asked:

“Why is there such refusal to even consider a possible link? What harm is there in retesting drugs and vaccines to be sure?”


Another user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote:

“We all know drugs come with side effects. If Trump was advised, you can’t just blame him—but more research is definitely needed.”

This clash highlights a larger divide: while medical experts insist the science is settled, others believe re-examining widely used medications could help restore public trust.
