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.

Remember, he also asked the world leading experts on virology, immunology and epidemiology if they had considered using the regular flu vaccine against SARS-CoV-2.

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 known 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?

The MSM and other individuals aren't the damn president of the United States.  He is held to a higher standard because of his position.

Oh, and the articles link back to the source of their correction.  I mean, you did read the link, didn't you?

Wwhen I was trying to my grandma's TV because the streaming apps weren't working, and while I was doing it she kept asking then dumbest questions possible like "did you plug it in" because she doesn't know anything about electronics.  And that's fine, because she's just my grandma and she's perfectly entitled to be stupid about these things.

But this is like if my grandma were suddenly placed in charge of our country's online infrastructure.  When that happens it's no longer ok for grandma to be stupid.
