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.

He did not. I watched it and right when he asked about the injections his mouth turned up indicating a smile.

Its sickening that MSM constantly makes everything into a HUGE international incident. I, like tens of millions of Americans see through MSM’s rabid BS which is why MSM is held in such disdain.

After watching FBC or FNC, I watch(ed) local news. The disparity between the WH briefings and what the locals report is astonishing. If one watches MSM, excluding Fox, one is misinformed.
