He's just asking the professionals around him if something is worth exploring. There's nothing wrong with that and in no way did he tell people to go out and start doing those things

1) stop trolling
2) anyone with half a brain knows what he suggested makes no sense
3) not the venue for brainstorming (and I use the term very loosely)

dude also said we should look into injecting sunlight under peoples' skin. i couldnt believe what i was hearing

Maybe he's trying to protect us from vampires.

Did you fucking liberals think of that, our president valiantly protecting us from the children of the night?

Hurricanes, eh? Well, what if we just build a skyscraper-sized fan to blow it in the other direction? Itd be interesting to check that.

lmfao great post

The literal president of the US should not be asking should we look into injecting disinfectant? or anything similar during a press briefing.

A grade schooler could tell you thats a dumb fucking idea.

Is this an actual quote? If it were Obama or even Bush itd be safe to assume its fake but with Trump I just cant tell.

No no, that involves too much of that fake news science stuff the liberals are going on about. We'll just cover Kansas in trampolines and make Dorothy pay for it.

XD Our president is so fucking stupid that we had to have another Tide Pod moment

Examine your freaking life if you're constantly "to be fairing" for such a mentally compromised individual. He's supposed to be held to the highest standards and you're holding him to the lowest ones possible. People coming in here ranting about the lugenpresse because he didn't explicitly tell his followers to inject Lysol is an incredible waste of time and energy on behalf of someone who has never at any point deserved it.

Have any of the people who ate tide pods died from COVID-19? Worth investigating

No, he basically said it would be nice if there was something worked for the human body the same way disinfectants can work rapidly on surfaces, not that people should inject actual home cleaning products.

...he literally said that he wants doctors to investigate injecting disenfectent into people... stop this selective reading/hearing bullshit.

So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous whether it's
ultraviolet or just very powerful light and I think you said that
hasn't been checked but you're going to test it. And then I said,
supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do
either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said
youre going to test that too. Sounds interesting. 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?

can we finally make jokes about trump being a nazi? because this is absolutely mengele level 'science'...

Yes, "something like that". Something that works as effectively in the human body as cleaning products do on surfaces. Not injecting the actual cleaning themselves.

Now, you could as a retort say there obviously isn't anything that works so easily and effectively because we would be using it already if there was. But he wasn't suggesting the injection of actual cleaning products.

The people clamouring to defend Trump's statements genuinely baffle me. He is an idiot and trying to "spin it" as anything other than the dangerous spread of misinformation is disgusting and delusional.

Tired-Insomniac posted...

This

Even if he didn't literally say something word-for-word, you have to understand that a large number of his supporters are literally stupid enough to interpret it that way and will start spreading it as a viable solution.

Well I mean....if it's only his supporters taking his word for it, maybe he'll tank his possibility for a second term >_>

Reread it till you comprehend it. He absolutely was, by the letter of his own words, suggesting injecting some variety of disinfectant as absolutely as the blithering idiot suggested using light inside the body a few sentences earlier. He might not have been referring to Lysol brand bathroom spray specifically but that changes NOTHING. Pedantry is the last stand of those with no argument left. Now stop attempting to defend the orange manchild.

Best case he's got dementia and is unfit for office. Worst case he's a fucking tactless moron and is unfit for office.

Supposedly the disinfectant IS the UV light he was just talking about. According to some people. Which makes this less dumb.

@s0nicfan and everyone else TBFing his braindead statements, now he's saying it was sarcasm and a joke. This is why you don't waste your effort on this dude, he is always going to throw his defenders under the bus and expect them to keep coming back for more, no matter how foolish it makes them or him look.

If you legitimately think that, if Trump said that injecting cleaner into your blood cured the Coronavirus, that people would go off and do it and die, then you should be equally annoyed at anyone reporting that he said that if he didn't, because the results would be the same.

At no point in this topic or anywhere else did I defend what he was saying, and have said repeatedly that it was stupid. My point was not to try and make what he said any less ridiculous, it was to highlight that what the media instead reported that he said was way more dangerous.

Trumps brain dead supporters are already defending this and lysol themselves had to come out and debunk this stupidity because people are dumb enough to do as the president says without a second thought.

Wow

He said what he said and it was dumb AF and enough to get people seriously injured. To focus on the media instead of that is misplaced scrutiny to say the least. This president is lowering the bar for all future leaders and raising their hopes for what they can get away with saying and doing. That's the key thing here, not the media's interpretation of inherently dangerous and irresponsible statements.

the same or way more dangerous

But he didn't, so what they reported is way more dangerous.

This concludes the reading comprehension portion of today. Thank you for participating. Now is the part where you refuse to acknowledge that I was 100% correct.

Honestly defending this statement should be moddable, along with any other dangerous spread of misinformation.

He did say it, and he called it a 'sarcastic joke' the next day. Making your attempt to rewrite "what he really meant" quite obviously incorrect.

it's not the press reporting what he said that is now proving dangerous, it's what he said.

Poison control officials in New York City said that calls for bleach and Lysol-related issues doubled after the presidents comments.

Except I'm not trying to rewrite "what he really meant" by his stupid comment that he decided to call sarcasm. YOU'RE the one trying to do that by interpreting what he literally said as something else. From your own link, his literal words:

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, youre going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds it sounds interesting to me.

You want to go ahead and show me in your magic fuckball how that gets reported as THIS:
"Trump Suggests Injecting Disinfectant as Coronavirus Cure"
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/trump-suggests-injecting-disinfectant-as-coronavirus-cure/2261034/

"Trump, ever the salesman, is peddling dangerous cures for coronavirus"
https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/24/politics/donald-trump-coronavirus-disinfectant-sunlight-science/index.html

"Trump suggests 'injection' of disinfectant to beat coronavirus and 'clean' the lungs"
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-suggests-injection-disinfectant-beat-coronavirus-clean-lungs-n1191216

"Trump suggests injecting disinfectant into the body to treat coronavirus"
https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/trump-suggests-injecting-disinfectant-into-the-body-to-treat-coronavirus-82470981752

Literally, trump stupidly speculating about whether something would be possible. and STILL saying doctors would be required. Literally, the news turning that into "trump says injecting disinfectant treats the coronavirus". And exactly like I said, literally people getting hurt. If it was reported as what he actually said, with headlines like "trump openly wonders if doctors can find a safe way to use cleaning agents to fight coronavirus" people wouldn't be in the ICU right now and we'd all be laughing about the stupid thing he said instead. But you're so giddy at the thought that you get to say Trump is hurting people that you're going to completely ignore the fact that this was a manufactured problem, because you don't actually care how dishonest reporting is if it means you get to shove someone else's pain in his face.
