President Donald Trump said Friday that his remarks on injecting disinfectants to treat COVID-19 were sarcasm, after doctors responded with horror and disinfectant manufacturers urged people not to ingest the poisonous substances.
"I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters just like you, just to see what would happen," Trump said on Friday during a bill signing for the coronavirus aid package. "I was asking a sarcastic and a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside. But it does kill it and it would kill it on the hands, and it would make things much better."
But the president's comments the day before — a lengthy musing that disinfectant or powerful light could be used to fight the virus — did not appear to be sarcasm; they were in part directed at a Homeland Security official.

should listen to the asshat Anderson Cooper.
I swear they have reconstituted Journolist
Would you prefer that only unelected bureaucrats like Fauci and Birx speak to the public, and have their opinions amplified and exaggerated?
If so, get ready for a 38- year lockdown until a COVID-19 vaccine is found (e.g., HIV/AIDS vaccine search: 1982 - present).
Why doesn’t he just say, “SO WHAT! IF I WANTED TO ASK A QUESTION, WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL.”
Thank you! I caught that too late. I got duped and it’s my fault for not reading it, like most liberal dorks. I made a retraction just before you sent.
It peaked when Bernard Shaw destroyed Dukakis in the presidential debate. They still had some semblance of objectivity, until Ted Turder allowed them to turn into partisan tabloid trash.
Megadittos to that. Even the commercials are politicized these days.
The "suggestion" is filtered and amplified out of context and out of proportion by the media.Except it wasn't a suggestion, but "sarcasm".
Good point. It’s way too scary out there. If B-HO can win a 2nd term, ANYTHING can happen.
The concern trolls are out in force.
Yep.
A sarcastic sarcasm tag, love it!
You can tweet Trump to keep up the “suggestions”.

You have no idea how much I appreciate that reply. Seems you say anything that breaks with the crowd here and you get attacked unmercifully. I just want this mess to end and Trump to get re-elected. Thanks again for your civility.
“Trump really screws up when he opens his mouth sometimes.”
And you’re a shining example of lacking discernment.
Bernard Shaw!
Was explaining the CNN of antiquity and couldn’t remember his name.
That guy was great even on the days he went tard....
“His attempt at damage control on this is a fail. It happens.”
And morons in Michigan can’t even get off their fat, useless asses and start a recall petition against their Stalinist governor. Now, that’s a big failure.
I don’t use Twatter. But I do e-mail the WH, and contribute $$ to selected real conservatives’ campaigns every month. If you do likewise, I tip my hat. Enjoy your concern-filled weekend.
Happy for you.
When you are big enough to admit your “suggestions” error then I’ll be less concerned.
