| EricHiggin said: As per the clip, I don't see anywhere where he said that. Looks as though what he said was taken out of context. |
It really hasn't.
"I see that disinfectant knocks it out in a minute, in 1 minute, is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and does a number on the lungs".
That is the EXACT god damn quote. It is not taken out of context... It can't be taken out of context.
| EricHiggin said: 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). |
Correct. Suggesting that you can inject disinfectant into the body is stupid, uneducated and downright dangerous.
If he isn't a doctor, he shouldn't be suggesting this to start with, he is not educated, he isn't trained.
And it wouldn't be interesting to check, we already know the outcome... It's called using common sense which he seems to lack in this instance.
The fact of the matter is, he is supposed to be providing a SITREP or "Situational Update" on the Corona virus and laying out plans of what approach the American government is taking, what approaches they have taken and how the situation is changing/evolving rather than suggest some far-off rubbish that has no real-world application and constantly pat himself on the back with self praise and promotion.
At the moment the entire world is laughing at the USA, laughing at Trump. I'm not kidding.
| EricHiggin said: 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. |
It's not saving lives.
People in general are stupid. - Remember when Trump suggested that hydroxychloroquine might be a viable treatment for Corona?
Well. Some idiot went out and tried it. And killed themselves... Because they couldn't work the differences out between fish tank cleaner and what Trump was promoting, they saw the word on the bottle and gave it a try. - Trump is the head of state, he wouldn't lie or leed anyone astray or get anything wrong, would he?

| EricHiggin said: 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? |
Because on one hand Trump says "He's not an expert" but then on the other hand in the same sentence he will say "He is smart".
The two don't go together.
Trump is also the head of state, he represents the entire nation, people follow him, take onboard and even "try" his ideas.
If Trump says something stupid, which in this instance he did... Then he deserves ridicule and condemnation.
Also comparing radiation therapy to injecting disinfectant isn't even remotely the same, back then we didn't have the understanding of chemistry or radiation that we did today, disinfectant and it's effects on the human body have been studied intimately at this point by the scientific method.
Can't believe any of this had to be elaborated upon.
| JWeinCom said: 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. |
He was looking towards such an expert when he made those crazy statements.
At the end of the day... The best cure for Corona isn't to "try" these various chemicals... It is self isolation and waiting on a vaccine... Aka. A Prevention. - Which is a proven method to combat viruses.
| EricHiggin said: For example, some here said he was an idiot for bringing up injecting disinfectants. He was asking if it could be done and saying the professionals would need to figure that out. Maybe they already know it's not possible, who knows? |
Scientists already know. Trump shouldn't be making suggestions on something he is clueless about, it's downright dangerous.
| EricHiggin said: Could some citizens misinterpret what Trump meant? Obviously so. Anybody could at any time. Just look how what some here have said and on social media and the MSM. If they can't get it straight, obviously others may not either. So it's Trumps problem that we're all imperfect? |
Trumps ability to form coherent sentences is garbage at the best of times, the problem lays with him.
He needs to some training.
| EricHiggin said: Point is he's being bashed for 'idiotically' spreading misinformation when that's not what he said or meant. He just asked a question. |
He made a suggestion framed as a question.
There is going to be some bogan somewhere who thinks they are "Protected by Jesus's Blood" that thinks it will work for them and go ahead and try it.
And Trump needs to be held accountable for that as he is in a position of influence.
