It just doesn't get any funnier than this.

Trump supporters on this thread have twisted themselves in pretzels trying to defend what he said or make sense of it.

"Thinking out of the box" they say.

"He really meant he was trying to get 'medication to the lungs' but used a poor choice of words" they say.

"Trump didn't really say it" they say.

So now Trump comes out and says he did say it but was "being sarcastic" around a reporters question that wasn't even asked.

So Trump has made all his defenders look even more foolish than they already did when defending this stuff.

C'mon righties, can't ya all tell when the big fella is just joshin?

This is exactly the case here...he blurted out something and the media and haters just ran with it.
No one needs to be brain storming an idea like this before an audience of millions - many of whom are desperate and gullible. Does the man have no common sense?

Was it stupid to ask...sure, at that point absolutely. Obviously the media and people like yourself just run with it and state he said to inject bleach or whatever into ones body. And you question me on context...laughable.

I won't argue with you on that one.

Default I wake up to find over 40 pages? Lol!!

Trump was basically asking/wondering outloud in his unfiltered, off the cuff Trumpy style way if these findings could somehow be incorporated into some kind of treatment. I knew what he meant when he said it, even as I chuckled.
Twitter is having their usual "get Trump" orgy, but I'm so disappointed in the press. They're not doing their jobs. No nuance, no intuition. Shouldn't the headlines be shouting, "GO OUTSIDE!" "OPEN THE PARKS!" Instead we get garbage. The MSM only care about the bottom line, and the TDS crowd is their bread and butter! I remember when I used to have more trust in the press.

Okay I'll accept that it was sarcasm, 50,000 Americans dead and the president makes a joke? That's called jumping out of the skillet into fire. I am not sure if America needs a heartless man or a dumb man in these serious times for a president. This is the moment you elect a man or woman to be a president for and he is failing at every turn.

Someone said it last fall that November was a long time off and there would be plenty of time for Trump to mess things up for his reelection. Seven months from now things may only be the same if we're are lucky and Trump will still not have any good Ideals.

The TDS community went straight from pretending he said "Mexicans are rapists" and "some Nazis are very fine people" to pretending that he said "people should inject themselves with disinfectant". I'm actually getting pretty good at figuring out if the headlines are lies or not before sourcing the video. Lord knows I'm getting enough practice.
You seem to have a reading comprehension problem. If you watched the video, I would call it a listening comprehension problem.

And now I just saw a clip of Trump from this morning saying he was being sarcastic yesterday.

Putin in one of his brainstorming sessions; "...oooh, oooh...I know, I know, How 'bout I tell Stupidnik that we are curing our people by injecting them with...Bleach!"

Now that most of the world has pointed out to Trump now appallingly stupid he is, he says he was just being sarcastic. My bad, just kidding.

Trump stated that the disinfectant knocks it out in a minute. There’s not liberal media there just a Trump being stupid. All hail the idiot and chief.
