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.

So does the MSM and so do individuals themselves at times. Many just blurt out whatever they are thinking at the moment, and some don't bother asking the professionals whether it be out of 'stupidity' or time perhaps. Are the professionals always right? Do they always have a complete answer?

Lots of entities that shouldn't be throwing out possibilities or opinion, yet they do, and at times purposely, while not always to everyone else's benefit. If Trump being so important and a leader, stopped doing that entirely, would all other entities follow suit? We all know the answer to that.

Any idea where I can find the fact check site that fact checks your link?

Yeah.  There are lots of people who spread inaccurate information because they lack self control and critical thinking skills.  Those people should be called out, and probably should not be president.  

The site provides where they're getting their information from.  Feel free to check department of justice statistics.  They're readily available for you.
