he never even said the word "Lysol" and yet hear we are, debating about the use of "Lysol"...it's literally headlining major news outlets as we speak lol.

you literally have people on this very forum claiming that he said "lysol" and "colrox"

the left has contaminated the narrative enough now that companies literally have to caution the use of ingesting their products.

You haven’t repeated this very same thing nearly enough times. By all means post it another 30 times today. Within the hour.

You just didn't like the response. It's okay, to be expected and I'm used to it living in NJ.
I did love Obama. Hated most of his foreign policy, but you probably already know that.

Now, back to the thread at hand . . .

BTW, I'm still waiting on that leader. Would prefer one who doesn't suggest deadly advice for the ill though.

Asking a question and making a statement of fact are two very different things. If somebody with no medical training asks what seems to be a stupid question, it is not a statement of fact. Trump asked what seems to be a pretty stupid question. He did not recommend injecting bleach or any other disinfecting agent into the bloodstream.

As it turns out, asking stupid questions has led to some truly remarkable scientific breakthroughs. Copernicus defied all of the established science of his time when he stuck the Sun at the center instead of the Earth. That's how modern brainstorming works. Sometimes a diverging outside opinion can get you started down the road towards an excellent solution. Trump is a businessman. He's used to tossing out obscure, barely fleshed out ideas in boardroom settings and letting the experts run with it.

I agree with you on that.

I agree - bad bad choice of words and dangerous who don't understand his lingo style which is most.

I wished he did ZERO about CV!
NO DOCTORS, NO NEWS CONFERENCES, NOTHING!
Yes the MSM would've made it a big deal, but that's expected for the POTUS being POTUS (darned if he does, darned if he doesn't) and someone else not winning.

Wrong. They came out with the warning after the media took him out of context. They are covering themselves from liability. It’s the same reason the iron tag tells you not to iron your clothes while wearing them.

I thought it sounded a little silly, but I also knew what he was doing. It was obvious he was just asking questions.

I pick up my phone, again make the mistake of checking out Twitter and what headline do I see trending? "Trump suggests injecting disinfectant" gods I hate Twitter and the yes... now more than ever the press! Nothing but bullbait!

Rant over!
All that effort to put the right sort of preventative spin on things, and then Trump just completely undercuts you by pulling the old standby of "I was being sarcastic".

Is that what you really think?

Read the transcript! He seriously thought it might be a feasible procedure. Clearly, he is thinking out loud ... again (he seems to do that a lot), but unfortunately his innermost thoughts tend to be disturbing.

Someone needs to get control of that lunatic before he hurts himself ...
Next thing you know , he might suggest injecting radioactive material into the blood stream...oh , wait

2:11 p.m.: Maryland warns residents not to ingest disinfectant after receiving more than 100 calls
Maryland sent out an emergency alert after receiving more than 100 calls on consuming disinfectant as a possible treatment to COVID-19, according to the governor's office.
Imagine getting that notification on your phone.

Is it an Amber Alert?

No.

Is it a Tornado Warning?

No.

It's the governor telling us not to ingest/inject Lysol.
