Even as a new poll shows most Americans wish the former real estate magnate would leave science to the experts, Trump on April 23 evening hit a new high in the annals of amateur presidential doctoring.

Words have consequences .
It’s as simple as that, and words coming from the President of the United States matter.
They matter because words and direction coming from the President are typically taken seriously by people who live in the U.S.
When Donald Trump said that he would consider exploring the use of injecting disinfectants into the body to treat coronavirus, the medical community shuddered due to the dangerous and irresponsible implications of this suggestion.
But people certainly listened to his words as officials from the Maryland Emergency Management Agency sent out an alert one day after receiving more than 100 calls about ingesting disinfectants as a possible treatment for COVID-19

Meanwhile, calls to New York City’s Poison Control Center for exposure to specific household cleaners and disinfectants increased more than twofold after the President’s comments on Thursday, WNBC New York reported today.
What I'm trying to decide is whether to try drinking Clorox-- or Lysol? Does anyone know which is more effective in fighting the virus? (Trump gave good advice, as always, but he didn't mention which specific disinfectant is more effective)
I do know that the right dosage of bleach is effective against E coli. You will need a higher dosage for giardia. But bleach is totally ineffective against Cryptosporidium
According to the right wing fake news media, trump never said anything about injecting bleach or Lysol. I guess it's just some weird coincidence that these calls spiked right after trump didn't say anything about it at all.
Or a lie.

Now we know. People actually listen to Donald Trump and take him seriously. It's rather unusual for the press to make that admission. Doesn't bode well for Joe Biden.
Where is President Joe anyway?
Hiding.
Allowing the Democrats and their media sycophants to do the dirty work.
The less Joe says, or is seen, the better.
