Trump Defends Eliminating All Alzheimer’s Programs at CDC: “If Seniors Forget Their Social Security Checks, That’s a Win for the Budget!”

March 28, 2025 — Palm Beach, FL / D.C. Confusion Unit

In what may be the most innovative fiscal policy since “build the wall and make Mexico pay for it,” former President Donald J. Trump has come out in full support of a controversial decision to eliminate all Alzheimer's-related programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), arguing that it’s not only budget-conscious—but strategically genius.

“Look, I love seniors. Nobody loves seniors more than me. I made many of them,” Trump told reporters while eating pudding directly from a gold chalice.
“But if they don’t remember to cash their Social Security checks, guess what? We save money. Big money. The best money.”

He added, “Honestly, I’m helping. It’s financial forgetfulness. It’s patriotic amnesia.”

"Just Forget About It" Becomes Official CDC Policy

The CDC, which previously funded Alzheimer’s research, caregiver support, and early detection programs, has now rebranded its neurological care division as the Department of Cognitive Mystery and Budget Recovery.

The CDC’s new Alzheimer’s strategy, according to leaked memos, includes:

• Encouraging seniors to “live in the moment, preferably not in the bank.”

• Discontinuing memory clinics in favor of inspirational quotes printed on Jell-O cups.

• A public awareness campaign titled: “Maybe You Forgot, But America Didn’t!”

Trump: “Alzheimer’s Is a Hoax. I Remember Everything.”

When asked whether he believed Alzheimer’s is a real disease, Trump replied:

“I remember everything. Every rally. Every steak. Every time someone clapped for me. If people can’t remember the 1950s, maybe they just weren’t paying attention.”

He then attempted to recite the names of all his children but trailed off after “Ivankadon?”

Medical Professionals: “Is This Satire or a Policy Brief?”

Doctors and scientists across the country expressed concern and mild rage. Dr. Lisa Bernard, a neurologist at Johns Hopkins, remarked:

“This is like cutting cancer treatment because tumors don’t file tax returns.”

Others worried the move was part of a broader trend of replacing healthcare with what the administration calls “thoughts, prayers, and rugged independence.”

One CDC insider revealed the only remaining Alzheimer’s initiative is a coloring book called “Where Did I Put That?”, featuring pictures of misplaced keys, wallets, and constitutional rights.

Don Jr. Weighs In: “It’s Just Memory Minimalism”

Donald Trump Jr. defended the cuts on Fox News’ "Tinfoil and Freedom Hour," stating:

“This is about efficiency. If Grandma doesn’t remember how to use Medicare, isn’t that the free market in action? Plus, Dad says nostalgia is overrated. We’re looking forward—unless you’re at a stoplight.”

He then pitched a line of memory supplements made from deer antler dust and keto regrets.

Final Thought: Make Memory Loss Great Again?

As the policy takes effect, some worry about the implications for aging Americans. But others say the administration has finally found its perfect voter base: people who forget what he did last time.

Or, as one Florida retiree put it:

“I don’t remember what I’m mad about, but I am mad—and I think that’s good enough.”

America, don’t forget… unless that’s part of the budget plan.
