Here, Trump said disinfectant "knocks [the COVID-19 infection] out in a minute," it "gets in the lungs," and it does "a tremendous number on the lungs" when injected into the body.
There were thousands of extra calls to Poison Control as a result of these comments.
How an incumbent does in the primary election is hardly an indicator of how they're going to do in the general election.
These kinds of bold generalizations do nothing but demonstrate that you're more interested in what feels true vs. what's actually true.
Trump spoke about the role he thought disinfectants could play in tackling an infection caused by the virus during a now infamous April 23 briefing. But he didn’t say people should drink bleach. He also never told anyone else to ingest or otherwise inject disinfectants. He then continues to state that you should check with medical doctors about treatment. I'm not sure why it's so hard for you to follow a couple of links and read something, so here's his full comments:
“
A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. (To Bryan) And I think you said you’re going to test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?”
He continued.
“And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.”
Later, Trump clarified his comments after a reporter asked Bryan whether disinfectants could actually be injected into COVID-19 patients.
“It wouldn’t be through injections, almost a cleaning and sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work, but it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object.”
Trump did not explicitly recommend ingesting a disinfectant like bleach. Nevertheless, his remarks led some companies and state agencies to issue warnings about ingesting disinfectants. The maker of Lysol said in a statement that “under no circumstance” should its products be used in the human body.
If somehow you got that you should be ingesting disinfectants or drinking bleach out of this you're pretty fucking stupid. A question, which he asked isn't directions to ingest anything. It's a damned question.

If that quote is accurate, reads like "try injecting bleach with your doctor(s)" to me. Being unclear with such a subject is bad on its own. Afaik, he didn't even defend himself besides saying it was "sarcasm".
You're comprehension abilities are lacking then. He never said to drink bleach. Can't fix stupid.

How is saying inject disinfectant any better? If he was talking about something special/specific or his claim about being "sarcastic" is to be believed, again, it comes back down to him being unclear. Misled a lot of people.
Again, he never said to "drink bleach" or even suggested people go treat themselves with disinfectants.

To say I cannot read is clearly an inflammatory hyperbolic statement, unless you're trying to say I literally cannot read. If that's the case, you're being foolish.
I think you're right, that you can't read for shit. You're able to take in the words, but can't take the context or meaning. Your comprehension skills suck.

LOL, I like how when you are pressed on your "claims" you just stop responding.
And Lacius, just ignores truth even when in front of his face, then pivots to the next thing when proven wrong on what he started with.
Like you OMG with HCQ crap, nothing of substance. Same thing as orange man bad, just with HCQ because Trumps said it was good at one point.
You guys are so obsessed with disagreeing with the president you ignore reality.
I find that Liberals on this board will never admit they're wrong. That's a major character flaw. Their own fact checking pages they linked to don't even claim Trump said to drink bleach or directly suggested anyone take disinfectants without involving a doctor. I think they're just fucking stupid or trying to act stupid to play off the fact their own pages and the fact checks I listed claim Trump never said to ingest bleach ... So what is it? Ignorance or trying to weasel out of having to admit they're wrong?
