I am actually backing him on this one. Whether he was "joking" or not, hopefully idiots listen and this thins out the herd a bit. Those folks wont be missed.

Are medical experts and disinfectant companies also regarded as part of the Trump hater media? Because they're the ones who actually sounded the alarm on this. Maryland had 100 emergency calls today regarding people who were inquiring about what Trump said about disinfectants. Thank God, they called first.

I posted the transcript. Ignore what was actually said verbatim.
I. Heard. What. He. Said. As did medical experts and disinfectant companies who felt alarmed enough to try and mitigate his stupidity. Maryland had 100 emergency calls today from people asking about using disinfectants when they heard Trump talking about it. This should alarm anybody, even his most ardent supporters.

You can make a million excuses for his "mistake" but you can't blame it on anyone but Trump. And calling people who don't agree with you "low IQ, low information" will not help anything. That kind of defense only is used when there really isn't a defense. This was not a trap or manipulation by the press. As so often happens, Trump has a unique ability to hang himself by talking without thinking.
I support the president, voted for him last time, and will vote for him this time. I agree with all of the bolded ^^^^^. Trump brought this criticism on himself. He needs to KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid. Give the updates on administrative policy. Hand over the rest of the briefing to his Task Force. Keep it all down to an hour or less.

No, Trump didn't suggest injecting oneself with disinfectant, lol!

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 ...

And I so remember your countless praise of #44. So my "knee-jerk" reaction response.

You just didn't like the response. It's okay, to be expected and I'm used to it living in NJ.

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.
It is what it is. What it is is dangerous

But I know it's easier to keep the lie up, hoping that it'll improve your election chances.

Anyway, here are the comments verbatim:


he clearly was told and informed that they were experimenting with a number of ways to attack the virus by his use of the word "you",they are clearly ideas from others, that were new and innovative that he was informed about which is obvious.

Like I said....it's easier to keep up the lie that he was referring to household cleaning products and that he just dreamt it up. It makes for funny memes and it reinforces this idea that Trump is as bad as they think that he is.

The only blame I place on Trump is broadcasting any type of brainstorming that may go on within meetings.



Why can't right-wingers just own it???

Just say, "Yeah, that was dumb." Then move on?!


Why this constant spin and lie to try to deflect?? This post is pure insult on people's intelligence. The only thing it successfully shows is the poster's level of "intelligence".

Joe Biden never suggested that UV light or disinfectants injected into a body might cure a virus. What Trump said is far from a nothing burger. Or at least it was perceived that way by medical experts and disinfectant manufacturers who felt compelled to mitigate any possible damage.

Yeah, it's TDS.
