When asked by a reporter about his suggestion that they should look into injecting disinfectants Trump said
“Nah, I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters just like you to see what would happen,” Trump claimed, responding to a reporter who asked him to explain his remarks that lit up on social media.
“I was asking a sarcastic, and a very sarcastic question, to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside. But it does kill it,” Trump said, not mentioning that any injection of a disinfectant also would kill the human being receiving the injection.
"That was done in the form of a sarcastic question to the reporters,” he concluded.
So I should take him seriously and not dismiss what he says. He says something ridiculously irresponsible and stupid and your first reaction is to defend him. Then the next day he lies and says he was just being sarcastic. In the middle of a pandemic the attention junkie President is front and center everyday lying and evidently being sarcastic while the medical professionals look on in horror.
The US response to this pandemic has been a train wreck from the start and this country is suffering far worse than any other because of it. It's been a great opportunity for the rich to steal more of the people's money from the Treasury though.
I'm not a Democrat btw, I'm just an American who wants an honest, responsible, functioning govt. This is an ongoing disaster and somehow 3 months into it there still is not enough protective gear or available testing. Lies and sarcasm are useful for campaigning unfortunately but they don't solve real problems. Maybe if we all pretend hard enough it will just go away.
