It's Not Fake News: Trump Did Actually Suggest That Injecting Bleach Could Be a Cure for COVID-19

This morning Kayleigh McEnany, the new White House press secretary, slammed news outlets for reporting that President Donald Trump had suggested injecting household disinfectants might prove to be an effective cure for COVID-19. "President Trump has repeatedly said that Americans should consult with medical doctors regarding coronavirus treatment, a point that he emphasized again during yesterday's briefing," she said. "Leave it to the media to irresponsibly take President Trump out of context and run with negative headlines." -snip

Trump's comments apparently were alarming enough to prompt an advisory from Reckitt Benckiser, the British manufacturer of Lysol and Dettol cleaning products. I say "apparently" because the advisory does not mention Trump specifically, but it was first posted around noon London time, about 12 hours after the press briefing, which concluded close to midnight for the folks at Reckitt Benckiser. -snip

Did the president recommend that Americans inject themselves with bleach as a COVID-19 cure or prophylactic? Strictly speaking, no. As McEnany emphasized, he said "you're going to have to use medical doctors" for that sort of thing. But he did idly speculate that, since disinfectants kill the COVID-19 virus on surfaces, it was worth investigating whether they might work as a treatment, and he specifically mentioned "injection," which was not only scientifically naive but reckless given the prevalence of quack remedies and wacky ideas about how to ward off the disease. -snip

Trump's suggestion about using "ultraviolet or just very powerful light" to eliminate the virus inside infected patients, while less likely to kill anyone, was equally fanciful -snip

Oh my...

Swing and a miss

So the story is fake news?

Lol bro: we both know why you chose that specific link.

It's not going to work.

Your dodge has been noted.

Fact: It's Not Fake News: Trump Did Actually Suggest That Injecting Bleach Could Be a Cure for COVID-19

Man up and tell the others here why you chose that link 🙂

Because the story was on a relevant topic. Because Trumpers like you have defended Trump's reckless comments over the topic. Because the news source has a "high" factual rating score.

Keep dodging though, it's funny.

Trump's Tariffs Weakened America's Hospitals. Then Coronavirus Hit.

It hasn't been talked about at any of the White House's almost-daily coronavirus press conferences, but the Trump administration acted twice this month to reduce tariffs on imported medical equipment.

It won't be talked about, of course, because those quiet maneuvers amount to an admission of guilt. President Donald Trump's trade policies made it more difficult and expensive for American hospitals to buy the equipment they needed to confront a pandemic like the one now facing the world. -snip

Wow. And Trump and Trumpers tried to blame Obama for the shortages, even though Trump's had about 3 years of being POTUS before this pandemic and he's the one who started his trade wars.

Lol so you don't wanna be honest and tell them. I will: it's from Reason.com

The same site I linked two different articles to negating this.
What you don't know is they came after the one you posted. And thoroughly dismantled it.

You're one of the people who followed the marching orders and blamed Obama for the shortages, even though Trump's been POTUS for three years now and Trump's the one that started the China trade warz...

Sure. Sure.

It's not up for debate when it comes to obama sharing *some* responsibility for the shortages. He was advised to replenish and didn't.
