Trump suggests 'injection' of disinfectant to beat coronavirus and 'clean' the lungs

President Donald Trump suggested the possibility of an "injection" of disinfectant into a person infected with the coronavirus as a deterrent to the virus during his daily briefing Thursday.

Trump made the remark after Bill Bryan, who leads the Department of Homeland Security's science and technology division, gave a presentation on research his team has conducted that shows that the virus doesn't live as long in warmer and more humid temperatures. Bryan said, "The virus dies quickest in sunlight," leaving Trump to wonder whether you could bring the light "inside the body."

"So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it's ultraviolet or just a very powerful light — and I think you said that hasn't been checked because of the testing," Trump said, speaking to Bryan during the briefing. "And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too."

Honestly, at this point I have 2 theories about Trump:

• He's a troll, who just enjoys being as bizarre as possible in order to get media attention. Just imagine those online trolls that do it for the giggles.
• He's snorting cocaine while piercing his veins with a combination of meth/heroine.

What have you got to lose?

Yeah, I'm not injecting myself with Lysol...

The Tides Pods president.

Lets not wish death upon anyone in this thread.

no no no. what you need to do is open a person's lungs up and then put them in a tanning bed.

I know that people are kind of laughing at the stupidity of this, but there's a whole cult/church based around getting people to drink bleach and using bleach in enemas. Something so dumb has killed far too many people Now the president is talking about the same thing which, I know this is dumb, but frankly, it legitimizes the idea to a whole crowd of people.

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

It's a cult started by former scientologist, Jim Humble, who is still alive and well, and his "Miracle Mineral Supplement" (bleach) is being sold and promoted to this day in countries in Africa, as well as the United States, by conservative political activists like Alan Keyes, American pastor Robert Baldwin, and Fiona O'leary who is a "campaigner against fake medicine."

Here's a whole podcast diving deep into the subject.

https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-the-international-church-of-46938125/

This is my favorite quote about the subject from wikipedia.

Fiona O'Leary, a campaigner against fake medicine, provided The Guardian with a purported call recording of Robert Baldwin where he said: "When you draw attention to MMS you run the risk of getting in trouble with the government or drug companies. You have to do it low key. That’s why I set it up through the church ... America and Europe have much stricter laws so you are not as free to treat people because it is so controlled by the [American] FDA. That’s why I work in developing countries ... Those people in poor countries they don’t have the options that we have in the richer countries – they are much more open to receiving the blessings that God has given them." Additionally, Baldwin allegedly said: " I don’t call it 'MMS', I call it 'healing water', to protect myself ... Facebook has algorithms that can recognize 'MMS'."^[43]

I won't say this is natural selection or I would want anyone to try this or they deserve it or whatnot, but on the other hand, I think I'm about done with holding my hand out and begging folks to walk away from the cliffs of harmful stupidity.

If folks want to listen to and then practice president dumbdumb-wackadoo's medical advice then who am I to say no?

LMAO!!!!

Lol, you knew it was going down that road.

These are the types of questions you ask behind closed doors and not in front of the world where it has already been shown that you have supporters basic enough to try the rubbish he says.

Now the FDA has had to clarify that no one should ingest or inject themselves and it sure says a lot about his supporters that they felt that necessary.

Tomorrow's headline: "Thousands of Trump supporters inject themselves with Lysol and *****" < since I can't post anything that might get me modded, lol.

He's like a version of the Joker, not as bright but still has an unending command over persuasion and chaos. I've never seen anything like it. It's unsettling to a huge degree.

Not a day goes by that I don’t awake in and have to remind myself that this surreal reality, where Donald Trump is president, is actually real. It’s amazing how quickly the simple granting of power to a joke can turn it terrifying.

After the astonishing results of Hydroxychloroquine I feel this is going to be the next game changer.

By the way:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-us-canada-52400721

"Dr Rick Bright led the US government agency trying to develop a vaccine for the coronavirus.

He says he was ousted for questioning the potential of hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug touted by Mr Trump."

lol what the actual ****?

Let me guess, Fox News said something about this. And now Trump is parroting it.

I hope NO ONE takes this seriously.

I...I don't know what to say.

Brother, you said it.

Ends up it's false.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/fact-check-no-trump-did-not-tell-people-to-inject-themselves-with-disinfectant-or-drink-bleach

Supporter, non supporter, etc.., it doesn't matter because I think everyone wakes up and can not believe Trump is President.

Story is false.

I don't know how any sane person can still think he knows what he's doing.

False? You know people can look at trump actually saying this...

That's a lie. I just heard him say it myself.

Wow..... trumpers are now shouting Fake News for trumps own words..... I suppose it was all leading to this.

Yet you didn't watch the full thing and get full context.

Grow up.

@n64dd: Why do you feel the need to lie?

Sums up the amount of brain cells going on in this thread from the left.

Thank you. That is quite the relief.

Agreed.

I did. He implied disinfectant could solve corona virus in a minute.

That doesn't tell the story. He did put that forth as a cure.

Yeah, a site that sells "Liberal Tears" mugs is trying to damage control what he said. Surprise, surprise.

So you didn't read the article or the whole conference either.

Intellectual dishonesty is sad.

First I watched trump say it. Second I don't need an anti liberal site to tell me what I heard. I don't need a trump apologist to tell me either....that's you by the way.

Edit: Also Lysol for one had to tweet against his statements.

LOL so you won't read into the full story or video to get context and want to cherry pick things and make them what you want.

You're a disgrace.

I....watched...……...while...………..trump...………..said...……..it. You're a disgrace for spinning it. Lysol, Dettrol,, and Tide have all come out against his comments to tell people not to use products to cure corona. trump was irresponsible. You're doubling down on that. Shame on you.

CNN and msnbc ran stories embellishing what happened and all those companies responded because people like you can't decipher things outside of a vacuum.

I don't care who ran it. He said it. Stop lying.

fact checked and proven wrong.

Here's the problem with the trump base in a nutshell. He's says something false, incorrect, misleading, spreads disinformation, and you spend all day pretending there was a different meaning to his words. He CLEARLY said for doctor's to look into injections of cleaning products because they kill the virus in a minute.

You can stop lying now.

Typical liberal media deep faking Trump saying stupid shit.

@n64dd: Did you see trump telling people it was a cure? Not sure how you can deny his own words. Plus it was during a covid briefing... are you suggesting the covid briefing was a contextually incorrect scenario for trump to suggest injecting disinfectant to cure covid?

Please understand the types of kids with whom we are dealing.

seems like his rambling way of talking on random subjects probably fucked him here:

So I asked Bill a question that probably some of you are thinking of, if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that too. It sounds interesting.

Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.

He later responds to a question posed to the Under Secretary, but it's confusing because he's talking about surfaces, and the previous statement seems to be about treating people

Q But I — just, can I ask about — the President mentioned the idea of cleaners, like bleach and isopropyl alcohol you mentioned. There’s no scenario that that could be injected into a person, is there?

ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: No, I’m here to talk about the findings that we had in the study. We won’t do that within that lab and our lab. So —

THE PRESIDENT: It wouldn’t be through injection. We’re talking about through almost a cleaning, sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work. But it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object.
