Trump Faces Fallout From Dangerous Comments About Consuming Disinfectants To Treat Coronavirus | MSNBC

    1. @JAMES FARIA pay no attention to that man behind the curtain; he either says whatever idiocy he knows will get a charge or someone else gave him the nickname “Nimrod,” and it’s very appropriate.

    2. POTUS gonna destroy biden in the debates. I’m gonna take vacation days and throw a party and hopefully a democrat or 6 off my balcony. Kek

    3. @JAMES FARIA He really does. The threat of violence against “Democrats” will be a common battle cry as we get closer to the election; mainly due to desperation. So sad.
      President Tide Pod 2020!
      McDonald’s And Golf Again

    1. @9000ck Yes, if one actually thinks he is referring to injecting topical surface disinfectants, I question whether you are walking upright. “SOMETHING LIKE ” were his words. Oh, look up ozone therapy by the way. The left/msm really rely on the gullibility if not outright stupidity of their audience. I would be cringing and shaking my head to knowing what direction they were going to go with it.

    2. @Chris Obertthuer You mean the case involving an intelligent engineer in a dysfunctional marriage? A case they are looking at now as a homicide?

    3. Wonder if his boss murdoch the 200yr old vampire woud be stupid enough 2 swallow bleach, dont think so !!

    4. @William H Music 2020 wat and u beleive in the tooth fairy ? go back under ur rock, please, or kindergarten, donny’s waiting !

  1. Can’t believe we actually have to explain this to the public that drinking bleach will dissolve your insides😂😂

    1. If people start injecting disinfectants, we can blame the leftist media since they’re the ones purposely taking the statement out of context and perpetuating it.

    2. @Andrew Libby you misspelled sane person!🤣🤣🤣🤣 and my poor deluded snowflake, you shouldn’t deflect from your own state of mind onto other people’s dispositions! Oh, and do me a favor, do learn how to spell!

    3. @I’M HERE I didn’t realize the video clip was about me , I thought it was about Trumps comment, I’m more important than I thought I was.

  2. I’m at home trying to replay resident evil 4 before the remake but now I have to inject myself with Clorox wish me luck guys, I must rid my body of the las plagas virus

  3. That poor doctor having to sit there and be subjected to this insanity. You couldn’t pay me enough.

    1. @anfeild8
      They are cowards. And their silence is proof of their weakness. We are talking life and death here. The doctors TOOK AN OATH to do no harm. Keeping silent is extremely harmful.

    2. Steve’s Bees
      Cowards! All those who didn’t speak up immediately. Keeping silent is part of the insanity. WTF!!!

    3. Steve’s Bees …This “poor doctor” my as*! She knew who she was going to work for! I have no sympathy for her!! Days later, she’s still helping to play it all off…🤨

    4. Pendragon…
      I see your point, but at the same time there’s no excuse for him to spew out such an insane suggestion and put her on the spot in front of thousands or even millions of people. But, yes, she chose to be in the spotlight, and boy did she get it.

  4. “What do you to lose? I say take it.”
    Well, Mr. Clown, sir. You can take it first. Show me your leadership. Lead the hordes to the enlightenment.

    1. Word For Word Covfefe-19 Promise me you’ll come back in a few months and remember all the stupid nonsense you sheepishly portrayed when Trump wins!! Again!! 😂 🤯😅😂

    2. Word For Word Covfefe-19 Frankly I could give a rats behind about all of it, i just like that he makes pansy, factually uninformed, over sensitive little girls cry. That’s really all it boils down to

    3. Hey, Mac. A guy who can’t even spell “dumb” has no business calling anyone else dumb. I notice none of you are actually trying to rationalize how this suggestion by your great hero is anything less than imbecilic and highly dangerous. You just retreat to your collection of catch-phrases as per typical.

    1. @StarkRaving Ralph and btw it’s not a false sense of security. We’ll be enjoying the good life until there’s a vaccine.

    2. @StarkRaving Ralph you know, like your hero Pelosi and her $24,000 refrigerators filled with (literally I’m not making this up) $104 a gallon ice cream.
      Still think she cares if the peasants go bankrupt? It’s what she WANTS so you’ll have to depend on her more! Yeah Nancy Antoinette says ” Let them eat ice cream” 😂😂😂

    3. @David Sibbald No one cares how you live. Some people may care IF you live but you don’t seem to care about other humans, which is unfortunate but either way, hope you live until a Vx is developed. Possibly a year and a half or longer since the Loser in chief defunded the CDC but hey, it’s better than nothing, eh? It’s not like preventing constituents from death is a big deal if you want to be re-elected, am I right? Considering most of his fan base are in the age range who are most at risk, someone may not have enough constituents left come November. Who knows, you may be gone by then, buried by your yes, false sense of security. As of now, you’ve just been lucky, like myself.

    4. @StarkRaving Ralph see what I mean? Trump INCREASED funding to the CDC. He just put a hold on WHO funding because the WHO president is (again literally) an Ethiopian Maoist marxist who told the world the virus wasn’t transmissible by humans. Bought and paid for by Beijing (which is why the CCP lobbied so hard to get him elected).
      Btw just how are we going to get infected when the nearest neighbor is 1/2 a mile away? We won’t even run out of Fritos for idk, a year?

    5. @StarkRaving Ralph I’ll have to continue tomorrow. It’s getting late and I have to feed the horses tomorrow morning.

    1. A lot of people have already lost their jobs
      Domestic violence and assault is right up and we’re told after this divorce will go up to
      So some people will lose their families and children because of this.
      That little man that started the HIV /aids issues of the 80’s has done it again.
      He’s made a career of scaring people stupid about viruses
      He and WHO won’t even let you take basic precautions i.e. Sunlight
      The drug we’re talking about has been used for viruses for eons
      It, like all drugs, has side effects. If we are suddenly to become so worried about Prolonged QTc and subsequent arrhythmia it should not be on the market along with all the other drugs that have the potential to cause prolonged QTc
      Do you know, have you any idea how many people it causes prolonged QTc in anyway
      Seriously think about it before you make thoughtless and callous remarks just so you can feel right

    2. @I Laser My point is the media has really taken this down a destructive, unproductive path.

      My point is that Trump was doing some brain storming which is a good thing.

      My point is that analogous treatments to the things that Trump mention are all used in treating cancer, and the media is absolutely ignorant of these facts–or at least they appear to be.

      My point is that the chemicals used in chemo therapy are highly toxic to the body, but they are used regardless.

      My point is that Trump’s mention of disinfectant is not that outrageous:

      A perfect disinfectant would also offer complete and full microbiological sterilization, without harming humans and useful forms of life, be inexpensive, and noncorrosive

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinfectant

  5. It is so painful to watch Dr. Birx, a person of integrity, as she is being made to play a role in the Ravings of this ridiculous, ignorant Monster.

    1. @Harry Sachs yeah but you hang out in this red with a bunch of idiots, I thought you learned your lesson hypocrite

    2. Nah, she has no more integrity. Kinda happens when one decides to stick around trump for any longer than a nanosecond.

    3. She has a responsibility to not sit quiet … she’s complicit to not do so. She’s only looking out for herself

    4. @John but she would have her integrity intact! Better to lose a job than support that lying piece of effluent.

    1. I Laser I think he meant to do this
      I think he felt what he had been told was incredulous although it does have merit in the appropriate circumstances.
      I really believe he was telling us what is to come and he has done that before.

    2. I Laser goodness where on rather do you get your information
      Put through a small trial – in a week????
      We’ve just found out it causes prolonged QTc -in a week????
      Wow what to say
      The drug you mentioned has been used for viral infections for eons and for that whole time it has been known, along with many other drugs, that it causes prolonged QTc and temporarily affects eye sight as side effects.
      Yet it is still in use and available so can you check with your sources why that is
      Also you should perhaps mention to your sources it doesn’t cause cardiovascular problems, it causes electrophysiology problems OK
      More fake news anybody?

  6. “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.” Mark Twain

    1. @mrprosaleyour right takes guts to stand infront of the whole nation and world and say to inject or ingest disinfect we need that kind of president trump 2020 let’s all put disinfectant and for sure we will be able to vote for trump

    2. @Joy Phillips name one thing that a republican other than Donald trump did without looking up some obscure tjing

  7. He’s had until January 10 too prepare. for this pandemic but waisted time calling it a” Hoax ” now he has hijacked these briefings into mini rallies. He continues too Boost his response or lack of instead of providing us with Real Responsible Consistent and Truthful Leadership.. Thought this was a mess the economic recovery is going to be a real Shitshow He’s not qualified too lead

  8. “The president has not given up on the idea of some magical solution. Because he is incapable of thinking of this as a longterm…”
    WOAHWOAHWHOAHWOHWHAO stop there… You had me at “incapable.” Don’t drink bleach y’all

    1. And what about…
      Trump shutdown travel between US and China he is called a r@scist
      BUT….when..
      The New York Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot commented: “This is not a time to fall prey to false information that you may be seeing on the internet, to fall prey to the stigma.… This is not something that you’re going to contract in the subway or on the bus.”
      AND…..
      Pelosi, touring San Fran’s Chinatown Feb. 24: “We do want to say to people, come to Chinatown, here we are … come join us”
      AND..
      On March 10, the mayor insisted on MSNBC that “If you’re under 50 and you’re healthy, which is most New Yorkers, there’s very little threat here. This disease, even if you were to get it, basically acts like a common cold or flu. And transmission is not that easy.” The next day—just hours before the National Basketball Association shut down its entire season—de Blasio urged New Yorkers to “not avoid restaurants, not avoid normal things that people do,” adding: “If you’re not sick, you should be going about your life.”

      Not much for progressives to say other than “orange man bad”

      How about start questioning the news your being fed….and do a little more thinking….??
