It's obvious that DJT never read any labels for disinfectants ( Bleach/Lysol/Rubbing alcohol) which clearly advises NOTFOR INTERNAL USE!! As to UV rays.. HOW the hell sitting in the sun could it reach internal body location of a human being that's multiplying virus internally?? Can't.. also, it's anecdotal, warm climate Countries are still seeing active cases of Covid-19!!

YEP~~ On hard surfaces ONLY!! Not for soft tissues like DJT suggested investigating effectiveness. Meanwhile.. Cult following filter OUT logic and no doubt don't read labels.. Wonder how many lawsuits will be coming charging Administration (namely DJT) for wrongful death??


Let's face it.. POTUS is the worst informed and intelligent spreader of comfort to the US Nation!! Daily, he sinks his credibility and only the avid cult members (and trolls) will follow his deadly suggestions !! Though do believe foreign folks are also filling the role of spreading DJT Cr@p0$$a to USA's destruction agendas!!

I hope and pray ALL are reading labels & be forewarned of the dangers of what EVER DJT is suggesting

It seems that some are misreporting what Trump said and claiming that Trump recommended the injection of disinfectant.

But this trying to explain away and defend Trump's comments about disinfectants is beyond anything I can understand. Can you not say, "Hey, I like Trump, but that statement was a little crazy."? I'd been baffled by this all day, and then I saw this. I'm not trying to be mean, but this really is the only thing that makes sense to me. It is a cult-like brainwashing that overrides everything else.
Well said. I very, very rarely post anything on political forums. 99% of the discussion is just tribal in nature and really serves no purpose.

The defense of yesterday’s briefing is starting to scare me. Trump will not be president someday, but the roughly 40% of Americans who defend him on any point will remain. We could end up with someone even more dangerous in office in the future. Hard to imagine, but it’s certainly not out of the question.

President Trump plans to pare back his coronavirus press conferences, according to four sources familiar with the internal deliberations.

He may stop appearing daily and make shorter appearances when he does, the sources said — a practice that may have started with Friday's unusually short briefing
.


Thank god. Finally he got the message. maybe ivanka finally got through to trump that he was making a fool and pest of himself!
Aww man....I looked forward to my daily "sarcastic" ramblings by a demented old man while the country suffers through this pandemic.

Clearly, you are neither in the medical nor biological fields.

There's a very distinct difference between an anti-biotic and a household disinfectant.

You might want to bone up on it. Knowing the difference could save your life.

Rubbing alcohol will kill it that quickly on surfaces. You know, surfaces like table tops and car steering wheels.

Not lung surfaces. That wasn't tested. (And probably won't be. Unless Trump endows his own research lab and tries it out.)

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!
It is amazing what the media is doing to really EVERYONE! They just can't be held responsible. I also listened to Trump and he was asking questions. I don't know how we can go from asking questions to him claiming something?

Here is a prime example of what the news is doing. I chose BBC because some people think it is some balanced news, but it certainly isn't!

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52399464

Claim 1

"I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs."


Notice how Trump says, "...is there a way..." How is that a claim? Are people in the media so dumb and underpaid that they don't recognize a simple question? WOW!

Claim 2

"I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're going to test that too... So, we'll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute - that's pretty powerful."


He again is asking a question by saying, "supposing you brought the light...blah, blah, blah."

Even the makers of Lysol need to come on and tell morons not to inject themselves because of Trump's claim? Seriously? The media needs to be held responsible for this crap! I just can't get over it.

This is getting ridiculous. What is wrong with people and the media? You better start just listening to the source ONLY! Stop letting sources put their spin on things. Oddly, Youtube is probably your best news source as you can find the actual discussion. Sad. BBC is a joke just like all the others. There are no news outlets reliable. Not one.

He did. We saw his entire statement. Tell me what else it said if not that.

I do. But I ignore Trump's interpretation of what the source says. Because his interpretation is rarely even in the ballpark.
