Maybe Trump can demonstrate the proper technique for injecting this disinfectant on his own children on national TV. :p

I request he start with the drano inhaler, you know to clear the clogging of the lungs that the virus causes.
Shouldn't that be performed by the Roto-rooter guy wearing a lab coat with the powered plumbers snake with Slow Hand playing in the background? :D

Hey, even republicans know he's kind of a pos, but he's cock blocking the left's agenda, which is all that matters to the right, in the end. Pretty much all us Republicans are willing admit that we didn't elect a saint, nor did we have any delusions that we were. It is all about war over turf, ideals, and how the country goes forward. There will never be a coming together, as the wants of each side are polar opposite. No POTUS is going to unite such ideological differences....EVAR.
BTW, we laughed off what he said, figuring he was wondering out loud about a concept or idea he'd heard from someone. As I've said before, liberals parse every word, then the media blows it up and it becomes hysteria. Just another day. ;)
Well at least you're fucking honest, in this post anyway.

If you spent most of your time watching TV you might be just as stupid as he is. Of course, he wasn't joking. His saying today he was being sarcastic is just a lie. Just another lie from the liar in chief. Is that a surprise? :rolleyes:

Whoops guys sorry, he's back to saying he meant it again.


I wish he would space these out more because you KNOW we would have gotten a rash of conservatives saying 'SEE HE WAS JUST JOKING AND YOU FELL FOR IT', which would have made this flop back to his original 'we should look into putting bleach in our lungs' even funnier.
I just can't even. Hands are hard surfaces depending on the person. We must research if using disinfectants on our hands is effective in our AMAZING lab.

Come on... it's pretty obvious that Trump isn't recommending that someone drinks a bottle of Lysol to cure this thing from what he said. He's just trying to say (in "senior speak", unfortunately) that these findings might help to find a cure eventually.

You would think that after listening to enough recent Trump or Biden speeches, we would all have a "Old white guy rambling to English translator" always running in our minds by now. If not, you should be working on it, because we'll probably have another four years listening to incoherent ramblings like this no matter who gets elected this fall.

Something tells me that Biden wouldn't postulate anything remotely close to, injecting disinfectant might cure people with disease, but hey, lets BothSidesDoIt™ the shit out of this election anyway, it's the American way.

It's the way of our media, anyway. Every time Trump says or tweets something stupid, CNN and MSNBC turns it into headline news. Fox News does the same damn thing every time Biden says something dumb or stumbles over his words. "BothSidesDoIt™" is the new national sport now, and most of the responses in this thread are proof of that.

What do you believe to be "the Left's agenda", anyway? Is it like Reefer madness, or what?

It doesn't take a decoder ring to understand this speech-

You should stop enabling Trump’s lying.

Is this the first presidency you have lived through? Media scrutiny is normal. Mix in a spoiled brat really TV star and you get this shit show.

He didn't recommend drinking Lysol. He asked about inserting UV/strong light under the skin/into the body.
He also said we could try, injecting disinfectant. There is nothing to read between the lines of have to use a decoder to understand what he meant
None of what he said will find a cure eventually. Nothing. Not a. word.of .it.

It's what he said so don't try to say "oh, he meant this". The orange menace is an abject moron.
Remember this asshole also asked, can we give the flu shot for coronavirus? This is along with pushing a non-proven
Lupus/RA/Malaria medicine that had no clinical proof that it works. It actually has killed people in a Brazilian trial.
You cheeto supporters need to quit enabling this dangerous behavior.

Media has nothing to do with his behavior. They report what he is doing, which is their job.

No, just no. Trump can't be topped for rambling incoherence. He has the market cornered.
