i think the line will be that he didn't tell anyone to do it, and he himself didn't actually believe it, he was just urging testing and "looking into it", and what's wrong with that etc

i have to admit, i'm still having trouble processing what he said. it doesn't seem real! you finally agreed that 2+2=5? lame. now tell me that 2+2=125 *extreme guitar riff*

I argued with a Trumper that he wasn't taken out of context because "disinfectant" was clearly the subject of the first sentence, so "something like that" basically meant "disinfectant or SOMETHING LIKE THAT", and they replied that no, "UV Rays" was the subject, even though that phrase appeared nowhere in the portion of the quote I had shared (I had left out the portion about UV)

that line is amazing because it supposed Trump had the genius idea of "hey guys...what if.... there was a medicine we could inject in the body that kills coronavirus?? anyone ever think of that?"

"I see the damage that mashing the Triangle and Square buttons does on Tekken, and I can't help but wonder, what if boxers just did that?"

I'm impressed Trumpers have the kind of mental muscles required to even attempt those gymnastics to defend him.

Saw the UV ray stuff on fb just now, too. I guess someone on Fox must have riffed on this and now the chuds have their binky

Yes, my gf mentioned reading this last night and because I never seem to learn that there's no ceiling to his profound stupidity I just assumed she was reading some out-of-left-field and totally made-up attribution on FB or something. The uncountable number of sub-moronic things I never would've believed I'd experience that have since come to pass over the past four years...

i always assume trump is feeding back in mangled form either something stupid from fox or something told to him in briefs. so with on the latter idear i tried to search for what an invasive UV procedure to clean out ronas in your lungs could even be.

maybe if trump used the dpa he could order musk/tesla to make some and unveil it live with a rock-throwing demo video. “here’s a patient being intubated to bathe his lungs in uv light...” *throws baseball-sized rock at patient”

Maybe that disinfectant comment came after Trump saw “First Reformed”

"...And the Gods Socially Distanced" (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 24 April 2020 16:02 (four years ago) link

even if he really meant UV treatment rather than disinfectant, it's further evidence that he can't communicate well. And uh that's kind of an important part of being President. How many instances have their been now where his remarks need "context" or "clarification" or whatever (or the totally plausible excuse that he "misspoke" when saying he didn't know why it would be Russia"). I can't recall any other public official, at any level, being so imprecise with their language that they create all these "wait, wtf did he MEAN there" moments. Especially ones with the best words.

sure he's not a good communicator, but it's that he thinks his own random tossed-off ideas will uncover something that everyone else in the world has missed that makes him so dangerously stupid

yikes that's a bad sentence

I wonder what those chuds who claim we're overcounting COVID deaths will say when someone explains to them that the seasonal flu death estimates aren't actually based on the number of people who had "influenza" listed on their death certificate

sadly, drinking bleach to cure various diseases has been a thing for some time

I'm more than happy for any Trumpers that want to act as a control group for this one.

It does seem that overestimating your own intelligence is always coupled with underestimating everyone else's

We've deleted an earlier tweet and updated a sentence in our article that implied that only "some experts" view the ingestion of household disinfectants as dangerous. To be clear, there is no debate on the danger.

Oh, well, that makes it OK then ("it" being the Times' entire relationship to Trump for the last 5+ years).

President Trump on his comments about possibly injecting disinfectant and light into a person's body as a Covid-19 cure: “I was asking a sarcastically to reporters just like you to see what would happen.”

NEW: About 6 percent of Miami-Dade’s population — some 165,000 residents — could have been infected by the novel coronavirus, dwarfing the DOH tally of ~10,700 cases, according to preliminary @umiamimedicine study results just announced by Mayor Gimenez.

The President of the United States purposely put out info to the general public that could possibly result in citizens ingesting dangerous chemicals, while also making himself look like a deranged simpleton, just to troll the media.
Yep that's a lot better than if he had truly believed what he was saying.

Yeah, there's basically no angle or explanation that could possibly vindicate him here. He either has the intelligence of a half-dead carp or he's an evil fuck who thinks joking about people poisoning themselves while in the midst of a pandemic is all in good fun (surprise, he's both!).

Unparalleled Elegance (Old Lunch), Friday, 24 April 2020 18:22 (four years ago) link

It’s definitely the former, and we shouldn’t even entertain the possibility that it was a joke

Oh, to be clear, I don't think anyone with a functioning brain ever thought or will think it's a joke.

You can use that as your metric for brain function going forward, btw.

Yes that's the trouble tho

stone cold jane austen (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 24 April 2020 18:37 (four years ago) link

I mean, yes, come on guys, we all know the territory very well by now. Trump eats a child, Trump gets called out, Trump says he was super hungry and only ate the kid as a goof, the kid's MAGA parents eagerly parrot Trump's excuse for devouring their son, lather rinse repeat. And the fourteen people who still retain some tattered remnant of a conscience scream THIS ISN'T OKAAAAAAY and nothing changes except that Trump maybe only eats part of the next kid's arm.

remember when trump wanted to buy greenland, but that also turned out to be a 'joek'? those were the days

he's a funny guy that Trump

I would support buying Greenland, installing Trump as king, and renaming it Trumpland. Everyone who loves him goes there to live under his benevolent and genius leaderness. So many problems solved.

Probably getting talked about more because while a hilarious image, a bunch of chuds aiming their gaping maws and assholes at the morning sun won't end up in as many deaths.
