I'd settle for "unsettling" if it proved that Trump was clever enough for sarcasm but, as we all know, he isn't .....
See, this is the whole thing which gullible people are still falling for.....Trump did not suggest anything about using disinfectant to treat the virus..he simply asked a QUESTION which the american media have completely twisted out of context and spinning it to suit their own narrative.

Even people in this forum, is your hatred or disgust towards towards Trump that bad that your unable to see that the media are manipulating you to get you to think how they want you to think?

Not necessarily true for every business all of the time. You do like your generalisations.

Yes I did and if he is now claiming he was being sarcastic and joking - he is an utter liar and takes people for fools.

Yes, as indeed did Dr Birx. I think her facial expressions pretty much sums up the situationand indeed confirms that his later claim that he was putting forward a "sarcastic" suggestions may not actually be true.

Re: Trump suggests injecting disinfectant

Geez, some of you need to take a real hard look at yourselves. Trump asks a QUESTION and the media spin it out of context and suddenly you go all rambo on Trump. Trump now says he was being sarcastic and again people go all rambo on him. Has it not escaped any of your attention that the media are the ones in the wrong here and all you can do is have a go at Trump!!!!.

I listen to many of Trump's daily reports and, to be fair to him, he does seem to want to keep things positive and persuade through affirmations, which can be a useful tool in many walks of life. It is also true that the press do ask tedious questions, presumably to satisfy their own salaries and sense of self importance.

Trump does enjoy using an abundance of superlatives, and fly off at tangents all over the shop which, at times, looks silly and egocentric.

The only bone of contention I have is when he makes absurd and potentially harmful statements without considering the potential subsequent actions that some people (who are naturally desperate and scared) might take too literally. His comments about sunlight/uv lights and injecting disinfectants fall into this category.

I like probabilities. The probability is that a business in which case maximising profit is the most important thing, which especially in the case of companies where shareholder value should be the most important factor, will succeed.

The only limits to actions should be legal factors where ignoring them would cost more than just saying full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes.

It has served me and now my son exceeding well.

They were STUPID questions but the gullibles believe that Trump's STUPID questions are the sign of an enquiring mind and therefore there must be some truth in the words he utters - I guess that's why the gullibles sit in the sun sipping Lysol - "'tain't no worse'n moonshine" .....

I watched the film and listened to his words, I also watched the reaction of the Dr. who was on stage with him. Nothing was taken out of context. The man is an idiot, plain and simple.
