Trump says he was being sarcastic with comments about injecting disinfectants

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.

Rush posted his remarks. He used the word “disinfectant” being used inside the body, which is a true statement and in accord with medical practices.

I wonder sometimes if PTrump knows some people who are being treated in unusual or unique ways. His circle of acquaintances is wide but rarified types.

I love when Trump does this. I always called these little quips....The Daily Bone....for the media.

And he wasn't opting for, he was asking questions.

Hundreds to FR, more hundreds to Judicial Watch, thousands to charity, additional thousands to worthy conservative causes and campaigns. The spam content I get is astronomical, but worth it in this generational struggle against leftist liars.

Good FReepers like us should pay more attention to fighting fake media garbage, than to every detail of what the President says. Example:

Doesn’t matter. Whatever is put into the liberal news machine is now the “truth”. MILLIONS of stupid people believe what they want to believe. The media carries the water.

Whoa there the President has been masterful in beating down the little children of the press corps. In this one instance he was a little off his game who could blame him certainly not me. I can’t imagine having to stand there while these scumbags are throwing bricks at you.

When it’s all they have, they run with it...he doesn’t give them many whiffs of red meat...and when he does, a lot of his “supporters” put fans out to ensure the aroma spreads as far as possible.
