To be fair, it is highly unlikely that you will die of COVID19 if you inject yourself with disinfectants...

Unfortunately I think the answer is 'never', but I agree with you completely. There are people on this board right now who would (attempt to) defend this.

I defy anyone to watch this clip and conclude that we have an intelligent, balanced individual as President right now. That is some of the dumbest shit I have ever heard in my life. When you consider the fact that it is coming from the President it sounds 1000x dumber. Not only is it dangerous, but it makes us look like a country of Idiocracy-level morons to the rest of the world.

You want a litmus test for how we have fallen as a Nation? Try to imagine Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, etc. giving a speech like that. Can you even picture that? If one of those guys had said something like that, there would have been immediate bi-partisan condemnation, and probably a full medical, mental, and psychiatric workup.

When is enough enough? I don't know, but I'm becoming increasingly afraid of the answer.

I can’t believe I’m going to defend the ass-clown Trump, but the only thing dumber than him is the media. If you read the story he was asking if it was possible to get UV beneath the skin and into that body. That’s not nearly as stupid as the headline made it sound. Still stupid though. I think he was hoping he could turn up his tanning bed a few settings. You’ll know when he tries this when he turns from orange to auburn.

He mentioned the UV light but then mentioned disinfectant that kills the virus.
"I see the disinfectant that 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? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."

It was the only White House presser I’ve watched during all of this and it didn’t disappoint. He is a colossal moron.

Yes, he did ask that, but you are completely ignoring the part about looking into injecting disinfectant.

Forgot about the headline, I'm talking solely about the content in the video. Don't read the article. Watch the clip. This man is the President of the United States of America and he went on a public, incoherent, rant about getting UV light and disinfectant injections 'inside the body maybe inside the lungs'. We made fun of George Bush for being 'dumb', but try to imagine him giving a speech like that? He would have been rushed to the hospital because we would have been certain that he had a stroke.

The media is in it for the ratings. I get that. I hold the President to a MUCH higher standard, as we all should IMHO.

That part was dumb as shit too though, and I would argue that during a Nationally televised briefing may not be the time to ask highly speculative questions about odd treatments.
