He was serious when he did his usual half assed effort to make the virus ‘go away’ with stupid suggestions ..
President Trump on Friday said he was being sarcastic when he suggested multiple times a day earlier that scientists should consider exposing the body to light, heat and disinfectants as a potential treatment for the coronavirus.
“I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen,” Trump told reporters at an Oval Office bill signing.
“I was asking a sarcastic — and a very sarcastic question — to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside,” the president continued. “But it does kill it, and it would kill it on the hands and that would make things much better. That was done in the form of a sarcastic question to the reporters.”
When a journalist in the Oval Office pointed out that Trump had turned to experts next to the stage when he first raised the idea on Thursday, the president claimed he was asking those officials “whether or not sun and disinfectant on the hands … can help us.”
The president’s explanation drew skepticism among those who watched the briefing, where Trump directly turned to other government officials to ask about the idea.
“It didn’t seem like it was coming off as sarcastic when he was talking and turning to Dr. Birx on the side,” Fox News anchor Bret Baier said on air after Trump’s walk-back was reported….
Unsurprising.
SOP from him.
Yup!
And it still makes headlines…
The Trump Cult was busy defending the “science” of Trump’s comments and that he was just referring to UV rays.
Then their leader says he was just being “sarcastic”.
Tossed under the bus again, I have to admit when the bootlicker Republicans get treated with the disdain they deserve it is quite delicious. And as long as they stay in the cult it’ll keep happening.
I agree.
While I detest Trump, the one thing I enjoy is the total contempt nhe has for his Cultish followers.
Not a more deserving group
Like lemmings….
