And you're doing what, exactly?

Besides whining about him on the internet?
After getting bailed out with numerous bankruptcies, otherwise cheating people he owed money to, and in general being a lying grifter taking advantage of a stupid minority of the American public. Yeah, he's golden!

Trump claims that he was just being sarcastic.

Quote:
The state of play: During a signing for the interim coronavirus funding bill, the president told reporters that he "was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen" with the response, per a pool report.

YOu can't claim context when we're literally quoting the man.
Sorry, I saw the same video and know where did I hear him saying to inject disinfectant.

However IMO he should have done NOTHING at all about CV!
NO DOCTORS, NO NOTHING - just to let it ride out.
He fell into the trap IMO!!!

Death will/would've happened either way. I'm a PRO-LIFE believer and I don't say it lightly!!
Science to a degree is BS! For instance, go on YT or do actual reading research and see "all of the science" on diet - one diet way "science" will debunk the other diet way and vice-versa!

#44 waited until more than 1,000 died from the virus going on in his term before he did anything which wasn't all that much.
so you basically just said 1000 is worse than 50,000

The disinfectant that was being discussed was bleach and alcohol.

Quote:
We’re also testing disinfectants readily available. We’ve tested bleach, we’ve tested isopropyl alcohol on the virus, specifically in saliva or in respiratory fluids. And I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes; isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30 seconds, and that’s with no manipulation, no rubbing — just spraying it on and letting it go.


THE PRESIDENT: Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. 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. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.

The president made his "the disinfectant" comment right after Bill Brian was talking about bleach and alcohol.
I'm pretty sure bleach and alcohol should not be injected into the human body.

Respectfully, I’d like to ask Trump fans if they believe this explanation:

The videos prove that was another lie by the stable genius. Does he not know that the press conferences are recorded?

Trumps issue is not what he said, he simply asked a question. But lets face it he is the King of asking things at the wrong time. He speaks off the cuff a lot which gets him in trouble. I can imagine anyone else who was curious about something they had heard to simply ask some of the medical professionals around them before just throwing such a thing out there in the wind. The man lacks a filter of any type. Some people love him for that, others hate him but it is what it is.

No, do NOT go to YouTube for scientific advice. If you are going to do "actual reading research" make sure you are reading something from a credible source and that you are able to understand the content.

Nearly all of the diet stuff you read on the internet is BS. Anyone can claim that this diet or that diet was "scientifically proven" to work. Low fat, high fat, paleo, mega vitamins...no wonder people get confused.

The problem you describe is not that science is BS. The problem is 1) the internet makes it ridiculously easy for people to make false claims, and 2) most Americans are not educated enough to tell the difference between science and fiction.

No, It was him rambling on when he should have just kept silent. Not sure if anyone has been in a board room during a brain storming session but in a lot of cases I've looked at a co worker and wondered how the hell they have made it through life so far after they've blurted out something. This is exactly the case here...he blurted out something and the media and haters just ran with it.
