If you analyze the entirety of what he said, it really wasn't that bad. I am concerned for the segment of the population which don't take the time or have the capability to do analysis. That's why I want to watch it for myself. People are going nuts on FB but these are the same people that go nuts over everything so I take it with a grain of salt. There is a segment of the population that will castrate him no matter what he does...and another segment of the population that will excuse him, no matter what he does. I don't listen to either of those segments. Find the clip where he is referring to both of these and keeps turning to Dr Birx for her approval. I think she wanted to use her scarf to strangle herself. Back peddling today that he was asking a sarcastic question to reporters. No he wasn't!

In a nutshell from the clip I saw, the guy speaking prior to him discussed ways of killing the virus on hard surfaces. tRump extrapolated that to using it inside a human. It was painful to watch, and I am clueless as to how anyone could make that leap.....but he did. And here I thought the postdoc that blinded himself with UV light was an idiot. All along he was ahead of his time. Bet he doesn't have Corona right now.

No snowflakes here...just concerned American citizens expecting more and better from their POTUS ...why aren't u asking for more too...?tsk, tsk, tsk..{sigh } she really was being sarcastic.

I don’t think any of even the dental students (or hell, even a couple of HS students I have taught) were that bad.

I don’t think any of even the dental students (or hell, even a couple of HS students I have taught) were that bad. My friend did. And he got approved for Workmen's Comp while SHE got in trouble for "not informing him of the consequences of looking into a UV light. It's written on the hood! Her response was she figured if he had made it that far education wise that knowing not to stare at a UV light was a given. So yeah when people say there is no way anyone would be dumb enough to actually inject Lysol based on Trump's comments. .. I give you example A.

I wonder how many trumpolites can see how this fits right in with his logic on everything else? This is how he processes information and comes up with 'solutions'. If he ever says anything remotely intelligible or workable - it's an accident!

Yeah, I got nothing to support anything he said. I didn't actually see the conference but holy cripes...I'm going to have to try to find it on youtube later so I can watch. The transcript is posted on a thread somewhere. I saw it and m familiar with sarcasm.😎 Not one shred was discernible.

it is so dumb it should be featured in Biden's campaign. Vote for Biden, I know you can't drink Lysol. OMG! I'm so looking forward to those ads. And this will be a topic of discussion when I have my happy hour with my friends tonight on zoom.

Even if he was being sarcastic, his daily briefing is not the place for anything like that, if he wants anyone with half a brain to take them seriously. Come on, he is supposed to be the smartest one in the room. If that’s the case, he should have the knowledge already to know it was dangerous. If not, he is not all that smart. I knii I w which one I vote fot

I knii I w which one I vote fot . He wasn’t being sarcastic in any way. Nor was he weeks back when he did the same thing with hydrocloriquine (sp). Of course someone believed him and is now dead. I think the wife survived. But sarcasm? What a lying sack of excrement.💩

The company that makes Lysol has reported that people have inquired as to whether it can be ingested. People do listen to their President, like it or not!

He was doing his usual impulsive talking/thinking out loud and luckily he did say 'we should explore this' or something like it. It was much less concrete than his other suggestions. The good news is it seemed he did get the virus does really mess up the lungs and getting things to kill the virus is good.

I don't listen to either of those segments. He didn't say people should drink lysol. One of the doctors had mentioned that the virus can't survive in sunlight, hot and/or humid weather, and Trump went off on a rambling chat about how maybe we could come up with a way to inject disinfectant right into the lungs, to kind of sanitize the lungs, or maybe figure out a way to use UV light to radiate the body, and he would glance over at the medical people, asking them if that was something they could look into. He's damaging himself by having these unscripted daily meetings. He should spend 10 or 15 minutes giving a quick, scripted summary and then step out of the way for the medical professionals to talk. Then he wouldn't end up having to try to explain away his ramblings.

Or just let the experts update us instead of his campaign speech and insulting reporters. Unconfirmed info but my wife told me he doesn't attend the meetings and is reading the prepared speech for the first time. That would explain why he often stops, looks up and acts surprised or confused on what he just read. I don't want his opinion.

In his press conference where he first floats the idea, he's dead serious. Today, when asked about the idea, he was SARCASTICALLY (overtly so) claiming it was sarcastic for/to the reporters. Trying (badly) to imply the reporters were too stupid to realize that, of course it was an idiotic idea, it must have been sarcastically meant. Of course, the newscaster correctly pointed out that Trump was not addressing reporters at all during his brainstorm, he was speaking to the experts.

FWIW The acting Department of Homeland Security official who detailed the effects of temperature on coronavirus at Thursday's White House task force briefing has extensive military experience but is not a scientist nor does he have a medical background. link

A probably now former friend posted about being in the WI capital for a protest today. She said her body, her life. Then later in her FB post stated that she can't see her Dr for her lupus. So go stand elbows to assholes with people who don't give a shit about your health and well being I can't do stupid anymore!!

Tonight he didn’t take any questions. Really, they ought to give him two index cards worth of content to read . Then he should leave the rest to pence, who is boring but can stick to a script, and the medical people.

I did analyze it, and while it's not as extreme as some are trying to make it (he didn't directly tell the public to drink Lysol, for example) it still was pretty bad. I get that he was doing his stream of consciousness musings but that should have been done behind closed doors, not in front of a concerned public during a pandemic, his rudimentary choice of words made him come across as quite idiotic, and his feeble attempt to lie about it later made it worse.

I do not see how any medical expert on the task force stays....how could you possibly want to put your reputation on the line being associated with Donald Trump? Along with that thought, how would anyone in their right mind want to be associated with him?

Along with that thought, how would anyone in their right mind want to be associated with him? They do it because we are in a crisis and they want to help. Unfortunately, they cannot conceive it would be this bad. They do worry that Trump would replace them with Jared if they left. Tough position to be in. Fauci has no worries about his reputation, he is at the end of his career. Birx has done real damage to hers, unfortunately.
