Yes. Lets inject disinfectant.  Moron.

Honestly? Surprised no one has jumped in to say he "didn't say that" and "it's been taken out of context" like what happens normally.

Light can penetrate tissue if it's strong enough though... But we should remember that UV light has a cancerous effect on the body.

***************

Only 4 new cases of the Coronavirus in the last week for my whole state... It will be interesting to see how the rates change as we enter winter/cooler months.

As per the clip, I don't see anywhere where he said that. Looks as though what he said was taken out of context.

Trump mentions the disinfectant and asks if there's something that can be done with that with injections as well. He says it would be interesting to check that and that medical doctors would have to be used (because obviously he's not a doctor and doesn't know for sure if that can be done).

Now how many people know for certain this can't be done in anyway? I for one, based on what I know, would assume it's not possible, but who's to say it's not possible in some specific manner? If it wasn't possible, then I don't know what was so bad about what Trump said. He's being more open to possibilities at this time since it's about saving lives, so if it's not possible, so what? If he had said it worked and demanded it be implemented asap, then that would certainly be a problem. Questioning possibilities shouldn't be a bad thing. I'd hate for the scientific community and their backers to start thinking that way.

Why is it that in general, when Trump acts as if he knows everything, some people go after him because they say that's not true, yet when Trump says something like this, being fairly clear that he doesn't know everything while looking for answers, those same people go after him because supposedly he should know everything?

So who's right and who's wrong? Is anybody right?

I wonder what people would have said back in the day, if the President questioned blasting peoples bodies with radiation to cure cancer?

He actually has experts he could talk to and can confirms whether or not injecting disinfectant is a good idea before he throws it out as a possibility.  

There is in fact no reason for him to throw out any possibilities.  He has no expertise.  There's no reason why any researcher should be taking cues on him to guide their research.  He shouldn't be suggesting the virus should disappear miraculously, suggest it will go away when the weather is warmer, suggesting drugs that have not been shown to be effective at all, or so on.

All that he should be doing is presenting the best information available, from people who know things.  A random person taking a national stage to throw out wild ideas does nothing to help the situation and might make it work.

Of course, this is a pattern of constantly putting out dangerous misinformation with a blatant disregard for truth.
