Seriously, you could never make this stuff up.
If you watched the press conference for the Coronavirus Task Force Thursday evening, you saw the depraved, corrupt news media at its very worst. After President Trump had a scientist (Bill Bryan, Under Secretary for Science and Technology at DHS) deliver the wonderful news from a study indicating that heat and sunlight rapidly kill the Wuhan Virus, we watched as the reporters in the room literally went into a panic. They simply could not bear the fact that their dream of helping the Democrats destroy America might come to an end as summer dawns in the U.S. It was truly hilarious to watch.
So of course they had to figure out a way to distract the public from this good news by drumming up yet another false narrative. That new false narrative has been derived from an exchange the President had with the detestable Washington Post hack Phil Rucker. When viewed in context of the full exchange, President Trump said nothing remarkable at all.
But of course, pretty much the entirety of the fake news media immediately leapt to extract a portion of a sentence out of that context and construct a narrative that the President actually advised people to inject bleach or rubbing alcohol into their bodies.
Here is a clip of what the President actually said:
Robby Starbuck ✔ @robbystarbuck · 11h No, Trump is not telling anyone to inject Clorox or any other disinfectant.
Yes, the left is somehow more insane today than it was yesterday. 🙄
Robby Starbuck ✔ @robbystarbuck You have to be a gigantic psychopath or criminally stupid to listen to this video of Trump talking about experimental use of ultraviolet light therapy and somehow think he’s encouraging people to inject Clorox or Tide Pods. Gotta be nuts to make that leap.

So, I’m going to ask 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 when we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said 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. Sounds interesting. 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’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.

So, he was attempting to summarize what Bryan had communicated to him and the Task Force members during a briefing held prior to the press conference. He was not giving advice to anyone, and in fact did not at any point suggest anyone drink bleach or rubbing alcohol, as every corrupt media outlet in America is contending this morning.
As Robby Starbuck points out, you really do have to be either a gigantic psychopath or criminally stupid to believe this new false narrative. Sadly, those two categories include everyone in the White House press corps and most of their audience.
Truly, there is no more non-essential segment of our society today than the utterly corrupt national news media. They really are enemies of the people, the very worst human beings on the planet.
That is all.
My husband and I were also, knowing full well how media would nuke him.. But actually, I have thought for quite a while, that if disinfectant is effective against COVID, is there some way it could be developed as a medication. But I just decided to start drinking more wine.
Agreed. I voted for the guy, but still think there are times he should just shut up.
Especially if brainstorming about scientific discovery causes the media to write more fake hit stories. I'm sure if he shut up they would treat him like a prince. /s
Nor did he tell people to drink fish tank cleaner. Or Tide Pods. People still do it.
UV Light is very effective in killing virus and bacteria. I had a reef tank and used a UV light in a piping system to kill virus and bacteria. Worked very well.
Ultraviolet eh? Do you think gamma rays would work better?
Beat me to it.
Next up...
“Well, me and Elbert was listening to the President about him saying you could drink Clorox to kill the virus. So, Elbert gets the Clorox out of da laundry and we both do a shot of Clorox. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be cause it was that new lavender Clorox. Then we fill the shot glasses with some tequila we had left over from my last birthday party. We figured it had alcohol in it and that probably would help kill the virus too. Next thing I know, Elbert falls over on the floor lying there flopping around like a fish. He’s foaming at the mouth and now I’m not feeling so good either. I call my sister Elvira and she says hang up and call 911 right now. So I call 911 but by the time the ambulance arrived, ol’ Elbert, he done passed. Them EMS boys took me to the hospital and they pumped my stomach. I’m OK now, but I miss Elbert. I don’t know what I’m gonna do without him getting his social security check. All I can say is, don’t believe anything that President says. He done kilt my poor Elbert and now I’m gonna lose the trailer.”
>>Now, if we could just turn people inside out, the light would kill all those viruses. /sarcasm
why not? we did it to the economy and society
There is also an original Star Trek episode where an alien entity that thrives on hostility and negativity takes over the Enterprise where a bunch of Klingons are on board. Kang,
played by Michael Ansara is the Klingon leader.
The entity causes all kinds of strife between humans and Klingons. Finally, McCoy comes up with a medicine that makes both races happy and non-belligerent. So the entity leaves the Enterprise.
I think the media is that alien entity, thriving on and creating negativity and strife. They are truly “enemies of the people,” both humans and Klingons.
(Why is it proper to capitalize Klingons, but not humans?)
Exactly
I can hear the media now, “Trump wants to blind people!!!”
Agree, dump the reporters’ questions (and the reporters). The leading headline from these is always something stupid like this. We should not dilute the message with lies and lefty propaganda. We need the information not the reporters’ opinions. I turn it off when the questions start.
I don't think this was in respose to a question.
"So, I’m going to ask 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 when we hit the body with..."
Yeah he said Clorox.
Sure kid
Why do you have to be that way?
Agreed. I voted for the guy, but still think there are times he should just shut up.@@@@@@@@@@@@
POTUS is very smart, sometimes I think he speaks in ways that seem outrageous but are intended to move the conversation in the direction he wants it to go. The press thinks “now we have him” the adults in the room research the subject and blow up the media narrative with the facts and truth. POTUS WINS THE ARGUMENT, We the people get the truth!
Lord, would that we would have honest journalism in America for a true Freedom of the Press for a Free People, Amen!
When did he say chlorax or alcohol? What i saw and read was light as a disinfectantt.
President Trump has been dealing with this.....and a LOT more.....24/7 for weeks and weeks!
Cut him some slack!!!!
