Trump vowed peace in the Middle East. In Dearborn, it feels farther away

Dearborn, Michigan, home to the nation's largest Arab American community, is grappling with ongoing crises. Families are anxious about relatives in Lebanon, which has been engulfed by the widening conflict with Iran. This anxiety is compounded by domestic pressures such as immigration enforcement and economic challenges.

So now Dr Oz is saying that Trump, who's apparently against cancer research, thinks Diet Coke can kill cancer cells because it kills grass.

Maybe it works for windmill cancer?
