Trump Suggests Injecting Disinfectant Into The Body To Treat Coronavirus | MSNBC

    1. USA that cant figure out dis-infection of infections by injection is done daily with antibiotics and saline flushes…lysol is an antiseptic NOT a disinfectant….USA is 27th at academics for a reason

    2. GearóidODU – better idea, lets test the injections on you and the black community first, as they are apparently the most effected

    3. Lol yeah. It’s not like drugs are refined from their original source to be more hospitable to the body.

      Vancomycin isn’t modified in the slightest before injection. Amycolatopsis is injected raw every time. As such, current disinfectants will not be modified before injection either.

      FYI: the entire medical community is disgusted by your lack of comprehension skills.

    1. @John Wilson Know the difference between trying to explain how not all democrats are the same, and trying to talk about Bill Clinton and military resources. I have no intent on talking about past presidencies, China, or military tech. I just wanted to state that not all democrats are the same and have the same opinions. Just like how not all republicans are the same

    2. John Wilson even the right wing propaganda you cite says it’s “possible” the lab created the virus… you are acting like it’s a fact

    3. @John Wilson Why are you diverting the discussion away from dumb trump. Trump maybe dumb but you are worse

    1. @jefferey johnson What are you on? Are you trying to say Trump is lying about the fact that he said he was being sarcastic??

    2. @Dylan Garcia Who are you to say that lots of presidents have been sarcastic before its not forbidden e.g. Obama

    3. SirShogun why are you so baffled by the fact that he could be lying? He’s our president but he’s still human, he makes mistakes, and he’s too egotistical to own up to them sometimes. He just shouldn’t have said that without full knowledge at a press briefing room and there was no way to be able to tell if he was being sarcastic or not because he has not been very sarcastic in the past, knowingly.

    4. SirShogun also, if he was being sarcastic, at the very least, it just wasn’t smart, at all. Whether you agree or disagree, either way, trump is not sarcastic enough for us to tell when he is or isn’t. He wasn’t being outright dramatic either, while of course, inserting bleach into yourself, is dramatic and extreme, he never even outright said it, he said, (paraphrase), that he would look into it, with no different tone than when he usually speaks. There are no emphasized words, in my opinion, please correct me if I’m wrong in any of this by the way. There aren’t any pitches in tone, there’s no exaggerated enthusiasm, so obviously, the subject is extreme, but in no case whatsoever, is he speaking as extreme or obvious as he should be, when being sarcastic. Either way, you can admit he messed up. Maybe read a few articles on sarcasm and the tells, but in my opinion, he just flat out wasn’t being sarcastic.

    1. The real quote is “there are two things that are infinite, human stupidity and the universe, and Im not sure about the universe

    2. Every great person has been laughed at all through history. Robert Fulton with the steam ship, Wright brothers with the theory of flight, and many many more. Do you want to dream and believe in possibilities or do you want to remain stagnant. Trump believes thing are possible. Believe what you want, that’s your God given right. I am willing to bet History will see and judge Trump differently from all the negatives the media constantly spews forth.

  1. Trump Enterprises: “Inject yourself with basketballs to grow half a foot and slam dunk like a pro”

    1. YoshiPeach Mario to be fair this title is fake news trump never suggested people inject disinfectant he was asking a question

    2. The Branch reminding me of his tweeting… why are you watching it if you don’t agree… and why post in the comments

    3. YoshiPeach Mario yes it is free speech… but couldn’t they avoid any conflict by going to the FOX news comment section where everyone will agree almost

    1. Ren Riv it would be less worrying to the citizens of the United States if he could learn more about that off camera rather than expose how much he doesn’t know on this serious topic… any video you watch of this press conference (even on FOX news) has trump saying the same thing

    2. Matt Davis it would be less worrying to the citizens of the United States if he could learn more about that off camera rather than expose how much he doesn’t know on this serious topic… any video you watch of this press conference (even on FOX news) has trump saying the same thing

    1. Also People are making Lysol tumblers and they are selling them like anything…..

      See you can get labels from this shop.

  2. I was really hoping he was being “sarcastic” like he said!
    I didn’t get that impression at all! He sounded serious to me! He never smiled or gave a wink to indicate he was joking.
    This guy is losing it!

    1. @Ziggy Freeshoot Notice the flag is upside down.Usually a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property”; It can also be viewed as an act of desecration. It has been used by extension to make a statement about distress in civic, political, or other areas.

    2. @rodney holmes A sane person wouldn’t ask the questions he did, btw he is a President in a briefing, where the whole country was watching him.

    3. rodney holmes it would be less worrying to the citizens of the United States if he could learn more about that off camera rather than expose how much he doesn’t know on this serious topic… any video you watch of this press conference (even on FOX news) has trump saying the same thing

    4. COME AND TAKE IT it would be less worrying to the citizens of the United States if he could learn more about that off camera rather than expose how much he doesn’t know on this serious topic… any video you watch of this press conference (even on FOX news) has trump saying the same thing

    1. @Alex Andonov My country has 100,000,000 population, your country is 3x more. I live in a community where we live like sardines, a third world country. 8000-10000 confirmed dead in my country but we got to control it while the USA is at 70,000 and still rising. And now, the USA wants to open up?

    2. Jana Catudan actually the US is x3280 the size of your country so if you look at the ratio of deaths the US has less than .01% of the population dead while your country has close to 10% of their population dead. So evidently we are doing something right, just sayin.

    3. @Alex Andonov what?😂 But the USA has 3x the size of population of my country. We have 8,000-10,000 deaths, if we were the same size as the USA the death would be around 30,000. The USA currently has 70,000 in a few days that will rise to 80,000. Did you fail in math or something?

    4. He never prescribed injection. He was looking to and asking his medical advisors whether there is a drug that can treat covid.

      As you know, drugs operate on the premise of selective toxicity. The chemicals destroy pathogens while not harming us or harming us less than the ailment being treated.

      Think of pactamycin. It inhibits prokaryotic ribosome function. This allows the drug to attack bacteria in your body without attacking you.

  3. A couple days ago, my mom’s friend, who is a pediatrician had a patient who asked “How much bleach should I put in my son’s nebulizer?” because she actually believed this buffoon.

    Edit: The pediatrician told her to not do it. Trump is the one I am referring as the buffoon.

    1. I don’t want to believe that people are this foolish, but I do know someone who injests bleach daily to stay safe. I don’t argue with fools.

    2. Star Brand

      Lol yeah. It’s not like drugs are refined from their original source to be more hospitable to the body.

      Vancomycin isn’t modified in the slightest before injection. Amycolatopsis is injected raw every time. As such, current disinfectants will not be modified before injection either.

  4. When ur doing the presentation to the class and you didn’t do any of the slides, plus it’s the first time your reading it.

    1. are bee
      You do KNOW they review these things preliminarily? He simply doesn’t pay attention or forgets.

    1. We all know the old saying when our body start to have fever when suffering illness: patient or virus,at least one of them can not make it.
      Bleach: that’s why doomslayer always use a double-barrel shotgun, why focus on one while you can destroy both?

      Jokes aside, there are people died or hurt because they listened to this “sarcasm”, if you know anyone might do something like this in the future, please stop them. (by in the future, i mean there will be a lot of fake information on virus treatment that could really hurt others, not just from one man, don’t have any medicine without doctor’s advice!)

  5. When trump tries to act like he’s made some life changing smart scientific discovery, then that doctor be like – ummm no
