Trump Defenders Of The "Disinfectant" Comment Misunderstand Their Hero
The latest in a long line of smoking guns which reveal the true nature of Donald Trump. He admits to saying what his critics accuse him of, but says he was only trying to draw a rise out of reporters. 

Every time Trump puts his foot in his mouth waves of Trump supporters journey forth on both the regular and social media to tell us that either we didnt hear what we know we heard, or he didnt mean what we think he meant, and this has certainly happened with Trump's comment about injecting disinfectant, or something, into the body to fight coronavirus. His defenders say either that he wasnt saying that disinfectant should be introduced into the body, and/or that he was making a worthwhile speculative suggestion that alternative treatments deploying "something like" disinfectant be investigated by scientists and doctors. These two are the brunt of the defense for the president of the United States saying disinfectant and light inside the body were a good subject for speculation. 

Unfortunately for them, Trump himself does not agree. He admits that his comment that disinfectant may be worthwhile was intentional. 


Later on Friday, Trump then claimed that he was being "sarcastic" when he made the suggestion at Thursday night's White House briefing, even though he did not appear or sound to be.

"I was asking the question sarcastically to reporters like you, just to see what would happen," Trump said at an Oval Office signing for the Paycheck Protection Program. "I was asking a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside . 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."

The latest in a long line of smoking guns which reveal the true nature of Donald Trump. He admits to saying what his critics accuse him of, but says he was only trying to draw a rise out of reporters. 

Since when was that the assumed purpose of the daily coronavirus briefings?

This is the type of hyperbolic nonsense we’ve come to expect from the TDS ridden.    Apparently it’s all they have. 

We are expected to believe that Trump is stupid and very unpopular and yet somehow he is now suddenly smart enough and suddenly  popular enough so people are now taking his comments as absolute.  taking them 100% literally and might chug bleach because of it.    Ridiculous.

Delusional, absolutely delusional.

Meanwhile their candidate is hiding in his basement, making heavily vetted comments every week or so because if he were making uncensored comments every day like Trump, there would be an endless supply Biden screw ups to hack  away at.    

Endless ......

What is hyperbolic? What is nonsense?  

Nothing in this article. 

Trump admits he said that disinfectant might be injected into humans in order to be "sarcastic" to the reporters. 

Are you calling him a liar?

My comment is clear, concise and spot on.    

The entire premise that Trump was suggesting that people “literally” ingest “disinfectants” is hyperbolic nonsense by definition.

That said, I don’t expect the deluded to get that.

Nope, not in the least.

I posted this article the way I did for a specific reason and based on something Trump specifically said on Friday afternoon. 

Trump DOES, in fact, admit that he intended people to understand he was saying disinfectant could be injected

"I was asking a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside ."

Why can't you admit what Trump himself admits?  Do you seriously think you could win an argument about this?   All Trump does is based on the idea that his supporters dont care about what he does.

No, expecting a rational human being with more than 3 working brain cells negates your assertion that Trump isn't stupid.  You contend that Biden is hiding in his basement making vetted comments is no different than your golden shower POTUS blows up Twitter.  I have finally had it with your myopia, so buh bye.  Life is too short to have your lack of common sense that keeps you chugging the Kool Aid.  But stay safe, you and yours.

I don't give a crap about Donald Trump.  It's pretty plain that Trump didn't mean to huff Pinesol, drink Lysol, or shoot up Chlorox.  It's pretty plain that Trump didn't claim tanning beds would cure COVID-19.

What should concern everyone is the press ginning up a controversy to sell advertising.  The reporters in the White House press corps aren't impartial; they're in it for the money.  The press is made up of profit seeking private businesses.  And the press has imposed their own interpretation on Trump's remarks to boost their bottom line.

The press twisted this into a controversy to serve as click bait.  More clicks, more dollars.  Simple as that.  The press has deliberately reported a lie to make more profit.

Well, it would be easy to just call it politics.  But that's not really what this is about.

The reality is that the controversy is nothing more than click bait news deliberately created for the purpose of making money.  Controversy is the business model for the press.  Click, click, click, click, click.

It damn sure is for anyone with an ounce of common sense and the brains to recognize a question and promotion, and the difference between them.

Unfortunately your comments reflect the dangers to right wingers who believe Trump comments, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Apparently, lots of TDS sufferers are having one hell of a time telling the difference. 

The difference between what Trump says and what his sycophants claim he says?

YouTube videos are considered "lamestream media"??? 

Every single media story about this, that I have seen, included the video of him making the statements.  So exactly what are you claiming the "lamestream media", including FoxNews, have misrepresented?

And when I have asked for you to explain why you think Trump suggested injecting disinfectant, based on what he said, you had something to say about sarcasm and refused to highlight where in his remarks he suggested such a thing.

Are you claiming he did not imply it may be an effective treatment???

I have no idea why Trump said those things.  I don't know what material was presented beforehand.  I don't know if the press was asking questions.

According to reporting the briefings have lasted about 2 hours.  The only part of the briefing being discussed is 30 seconds of Trump asking off the cuff questions.  And the press is relying on the fact that I (and many others) will not try to find a more complete video to see the context of Trump's off the cuff questions.

The press has created a click bait controversy for the purpose of making money.  I don't don't have news reporting that might indicate why Trump asked off the cuff questions.  The only thing available is a click bait story deliberately intended to create controversy.

Well, even with the 30 second snippet it's pretty plain that Trump was not suggesting people huff Pinesol, drink Lysol, or shoot up Chlorox.  And Trump didn't claim tanning beds were a cure for COVID-19.

But the click bait news required interpreting Trump's questions in that manner to create a controversy that improves the bottom line.  Click, click, click, click, click.

You do realize that the New York Times, Washington Post, and Bloomberg News utilizes the same revenue model as News Talkers?

How come no one in the room reacted at the time as if they thought Trump was recommending that people drink or inject bleach? Wouldn’t the reporters have asked him to clarify his comment? Or question his sanity on the spot? Wouldn’t one of the scientists have jumped in to contradict him? We’ve seen stories claiming they do exactly that. Why not this time?

Maybe because you have to spend some time getting high to even come up with this stuff? Then, when some stoner decided to spread this loony idea, all the partisan hacks went with it - and their readers, too. It’s embarrassing.
