Watch it over and over until you realize just how stupid he sounded. IMO the “drink bleach” memes are just overkill if you’re going for comedic impact. They need no alterations.

Not saying his words never get twisted but when you say something that monumentally stupid you deserve whatever exaggerations. 

It is extremely embarrassing when you see that Lysol had to come out with a public statement immediately following this brainless fucktard's comments and suggestions. 

 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/lysol-manufacturer-warns-against-internal-use-after-trump-comments-n1191586

This is the beef I have with these stories though. Lysol wouldn’t have to make that announcement if the media and social media didn’t intentionally misquote him.
Even that article says “ President Donald Trump suggested that people could get an "injection" of "the disinfectant that knocks (coronavirus) out in a minute.” And he never said that in the clips I’ve seen. He specifically says it should be tested by medical doctors to see if it has any promise. But the media like this article is saying he says you can get an injection.

It was already a dumb comment on its own, we don’t need to make it worse. And guess what, if someone actually is dumb enough to try it who are they going to blame, Trump or the media who actually said it?

The president inferred injections of disinfectants could kill the virus (aka ingesting chemicals like bleach, Lysol, etc.) No, he didn't say, go drink bleach, he inferred the doctors should spend time testing the viability of putting the chemicals we use to clean in our bodies. He's dumb and it's a dangerous comment because there are a lot of dumber people out there than him. It sounds like the kind of testing the fucking Nazis conducted on the Jews. 

I agree (except for the last sentence).. I’ll just reply to you because it applies to the rest who responded to my comment.
It was a dumb comment, I’m not arguing that. As I listened I just rolled my eyes at how stupid it sounded.
But my point is there is a massive difference between asking medical doctors to look into something and asking people to try it. The media is misquoting him as asking people to try it or at least suggesting this treatment already exists. However dangerous you think his comment was, wouldn’t it be 10 times worse to misquote him on that to make it sound like he thinks  it’s safe? 

Now if anyone is truly concerned that this is so dangerous that they feel the need to warn people, then how big of a story would it be if the media ignored it, or just reported the actual truth? The false reporting of his comments and comments like Hilary’s are more dangerous because they give false credibility to those claims.

If I didn’t watch the clip I would probably believe he’s suggesting to drink chemicals because you have the media and even Hilary saying he did.

Now to that last comment. What makes you think this would be like the Nazi’s treatment of the Jews? We do medical testing every day, what makes you think this time we’d ignore all safety protocols and just sacrifice people?

The media is not saying, "He suggested people try it"

The media is saying, "He suggested it as a possible cure"

There are people that are reading/hearing that and saying, "he suggested people try it". 

Just like, some poeple will actually try it. 

The media is leaving out the word possible. They are saying he’s promoting an injection you could get that’s a cure. False, he promoted testing by medical professionals.
Hilary tweeted don’t ingest chemicals because trump thinks it’s a good idea. False, he never told anyone.

If Lysol and Hilary and all the other media outlets weren’t trying to push an agenda (make Trump look even worse) wouldn’t they just tell the truth? It would be safer and more effective to just say “don’t invest anything. That is not what trump suggested so don’t try it!” Then add your 2 cents about how it won’t work anyway.

But just saying not to listen to trump and don’t drink bleach puts out a message that’s false.

I already said it comments were dumb. So I’m not defending him, I’m calling out those who aren’t accurately reporting the incident though. 

At this point I’ve repeated myself enough. I don’t agree with twisting someone’s words and misquoting him to make a dumb comment sound even worse, and then blame him when people listen to the false reporting. Many seem okay with it. That’s my opinion, everyone can have theirs.

The media. The fucking media??!? Holy shit---dude you are in a cult, not a political party at this point.

The president of the United States publicly asked if his team of experts could look into if its a good idea to inject people with disinfectants and you are more upset over the media's characterization of that utter nonsense? The man has no brain! That should be your biggest concern / fear at this point.


But, alas, now he has said he was being sarcastic. So, naturally I would assume you would totally gobble that up as well. 



November cannot come soon enough. This nightmare has to end.

It's like the WaPo reporter last night. He says his dumb shit then she claims rubbing alcohol is selling for $2000 on Amazon. Rubbing alcohol. What the fuck?

I can hardly believe it, but I actually found Lysol spray and hand sanitizer at the store today! It was even on sale. It felt like winning the lottery, lol.

I love David French and sorta get what he's saying but I don't know. Trump will reliably say something stupid and if the press reciprocates with stupidity what are you supposed to do?

It's like the WaPo reporter last night. He says his dumb shit then she claims rubbing alcohol is selling for $2000 on Amazon. Rubbing alcohol. What the fuck?

So is anyone commenting on that required to clear their throat about the dumb thing Trump said? Conversely, if someone comments on Trump’s nonsense are they required to acknowledge when the media is also stupid? Is there any space for those of us who would just like some non-assholes at some level of this whole thing?
