Why are people taking Trump's disinfectant comments seriously?

The irony is Trump actually had an actual idea what he was talking about but he messed up by using the lay-term ‘disinfectant’ for introducing an anti-viral directly into the lungs of severely sick patients.

The media was clueless, as usual. If people are *dumb enough* to think he meant Lysol or whatever—well, it doesn’t reflect well on their intelligence.

More excuses from a Trump supporter.

No, Trumpcucks are pretending to laugh at anyone mocking Trump, because they can't actually defend what Trump said.
This and #whataboutism are the only defenses Trumpcucks have. Instead of admitting the man they worship is mentally challenged, they just pretend that any criticism of Trump is TDS.

Who's defending it? We're just laughing at you triggered libturds.

Worship? The TDS is strong in this one :laugh:

You're pretending to laugh because you don't want to admit Trump was serious. And nobody is mad at Trump over this, we're just laughing at his ignorance.
And not everyone mocking Trump for this is a Liberal. There are plenty of Moderates and even some Conservatives who haven't become NPC Trumpcucks.

disagree. Trump's public call for hydroxy has saved peoples lives,and his phone call to PM Modi released hydroxychloroquine that India was going to keep for itself

he was thinking out loud, and the press spun it to he was recommending -when he clearly said it should be looked into.

But Trump always gets fake news coverage, forget it, and get the economy going again

STFU! dump meant what he said. We don't need a dumb, ignorant, MF like you tying to translate the dumpspeak you're covering for.

He needs to say what he means and means what he says.........he's done neither.
 
If this gets some low info people to off themselves by injecting cleaner, then we are better off. This is called natural selection. Just like the morons that eat tide pods, or fish tank cleaner. We are better off without them.

Every time you think Donald Trump has lost his talent for making people’s heads explode, he somehow excels himself. His latest? Telling Americans that injecting disinfectant and shining UV light could cure Covid-19 patients. You’ll have seen the clip already, everybody has, but it is worth watching again:

Trump suggests injecting #coronavirus patients with #disinfectant or “very powerful light,” alarming experts.
This was a Trumpian masterpiece. I particularly enjoyed the way he turned to the experts for validation, while his mouth trotted out the peculiar ideas. And I find it hilarious, even though I know we are all supposed to be horrified that the US Commander-in-Chief, the leader of the free world, can sound quite so bonkers and incoherent. People might now die, the pundits gravely inform us, from stabbing disinfectant into their veins because they believe every word that comes out of the President’s mouth. What the pundits really mean: Trump fans are gullible, poor and idiotic.

Editorial teams across America will now be scouring the local news networks for stories of dumb MAGA-heads killing themselves by following Trump’s medical ‘advice’ — even though it wasn’t really advice — more a discursive spiel. Maybe they’ll get lucky. There are crazy people out there.

But this brings us back to that old journalistic chestnut about taking ‘seriously, not literally’. In 2016, Salena Zito pointed out that Trump’s supporters took him seriously, not literally — while his enemies and the media did the opposite. It was a brilliant insight at the time, but perhaps missed the truth by an inch. Trump voters don’t necessarily even take Trump all that seriously — he’s just a brilliant and highly amusing weapon for irritating the elites they despise. The crazier he is, the crazier they go. It works every time.

So while CNN anchors will have spasms of apoplexy at the thought that the poorly educated might start injecting themselves with disinfectant, most Trump fans will just laugh. They know that Trump’s medical insights are not meant to be taken seriously or literally.

They also know that it may just take something mad-sounding to answer this awful virus. Trump does have an uncanny habit of being right, albeit often in a very roundabout way. We shall see. They do say that sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Ultraviolet blood irradiation (UBI) was extensively used in the 1940s and 1950s to treat many diseases including septicemia, pneumonia, tuberculosis, arthritis, asthma and even poliomyelitis. The early studies were carried out by several physicians in USA and published in the American Journal of Surgery. However with the development of antibiotics, UBI use declined and it has now been called “the cure that time forgot”. Later studies were mostly performed by Russian workers and in other Eastern countries and the modern view in Western countries is that UBI remains highly controversial.

This chapter discusses the potential of UBI as an alternative approach to current methods used to treat infections, as an immune-modulating therapy and as a method for normalizing blood parameters. No resistance of microorganisms to UV irradiation has been reported, and multi- antibiotic resistant strains are as susceptible as their wild-type counterparts. Low and mild doses of UV kill microorganisms by damaging the DNA, while any DNA damage in host cells can be rapidly repaired by DNA repair enzymes. However the use of UBI to treat septicemia cannot be solely due to UV-mediated killing of bacteria in the blood-stream, as only 5–7% of blood volume needs to be treated with UV to produce the optimum benefit. UBI may enhance the phagocytic capacity of various phagocytic cells (neutrophils and dendritic cells), inhibit lymphocytes, and oxidize blood lipids. The oxidative nature of UBI may have mechanisms in common with ozone therapy and other oxygen therapies. There may be some similarities to extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) using psoralens and UVA irradiation. However there are differences between UBI and ECP in that UBI tends to stimulate the immune system, while ECP tends to be immunosuppressive. With the recent emergence of bacteria that are resistant to all known antibiotics, UBI should be more investigated as an alternative approach to infections, and as an immune-modulating therapy.

If you're correct and that's what Trump was 'really' talking about, why did he disown it next day and claim he was being sarcastic? All he had to do was explain, right?

You mean like the swarm of medical professionals who have been warning people NOT to ingest disinfectant?
Just dumb, I guess.

Is that a wise idea for the leader of the free world to do during press conferences being viewed world wide??

I dare not think or speculate what he says & thinks in private if this is his public face........:dunno:
