          And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. 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 would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.

          Sounds like he was suggesting injecting disinfectant (bleach) to me.

          He clarified later that that’s not what he meant, but I think he misspoke in the moment.

          It wouldn’t be through injection. We’re talking about through almost a cleaning, 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.

            There are all types of “disinfectants”. Settling on bleach is your own hysterics.

            Further, https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/snopes-bias-credibility/

            Snopes is left leaning. And even they understand that isn’t what he meant or was saying. I’m just tired of seeing this obviously incorrect shit. It makes people shy away from voting for more sane politicians. The easiest way you entrench people is by stating things that are obviously incorrect. Then they just point at it and say “well they’re obviously wrong about that, they must be wrong about everything else too”.

              Trump suggested injecting disinfectants. That’s what the quote said. That’s a really bad idea, whether it’s bleach or rubbing alcohol. Theoretically he could have been talking about injecting disinfectant into porus surfaces rather than people, but that isn’t the immediate interpretation.

              Trump spoke carelessly, and said something dangerous as a result. He shouldn’t have, and it’s okay to critique him for doing so. We don’t want a President saying really stupid stuff without thinking, even if he doesn’t mean it.
