Surely it must be unprecedented for a global corporation such as Dettol to feel the need to make a public announcement and a banner across their website because of the idiocy of the President of the United States. link
I like how they added ‘or any other route’ in there just in case they can’t imagine wtf he will suggest next.

I am genuinely sorry for anyone who lives in the USA and has to suffer through a global pandemic with this complete and utter moron running your country. He has spent more time blaming other people and spouting nonsense than actually helping anyone.
Politicians and their policies are irrelevant right now. How they choose to behave in this situation where we have a virus sweeping the world that doesn't discriminate, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people, says an awful lot about them.

Does anyone know how Fox news is spinning this? Don't know about Fox, but I just read a friend of a friend spinning it as the news made it look bad by editing it. Trump came out and said he wasn't a scientist or doctor and asked the experts to weigh in. See, that's just fine, right?

I'm sorry too. But we deserve him. We are not a dictatorship, nor an absolute monarchy where our leaders are determined without public voting. We are a democratically-elected republic with democratically-elected representatives. We got what we voted for (but her emails) or couldn't be bothered to vote against (I just don't like her).

I live in the UK, so I am not up on US Politics. However, I truly cannot understand how anyone, in their right mind, would support this man

So when folks chime in with "This isn't who we are," I get pissed. This is EXACTLY who we are, so start gathering your people.

Hey I'm all for people to start adding bleach to their diet coke. If Trump supporters are that loyal and stupid for supporting such a terrible person then I don't feel sorry for any who die following his dangerous advice.

I just don't understand why his minions, his supporters and other republicans don't hold him accountable for such ignorance. Are they that stupid also? IMO they all must have the IQ of a gnat to let this shit go on. I know one who doesn't care about much other than Democrats want to take away his guns. Sure, Dad.

Stupidity has no limits. How can people believe this fool? How?  You know, I'm going to have to call a foul in this one. The education system is not the problem. It's some people's contempt for education that is the problem.

I just can't with this. I really think he thinks that he will come up with some miraculous cure and then everyone will love him. What possible explanation is there for this tomfuckery? He must believe it. He hears some tiny tidbit of information (good or bad) and then just gloms onto it and doesn't let go. It is like the President is suggesting we all try Tidepods. Look at the poster on the podium behind him. That's where the 46-1 got his brilliant idea. The stable genius came up with his Nobel-worthy plan right there, right then.
"So go ahead, MAGAfolks, drink the bleach and flash-fry yourselves with UV light! Attack the coronavirus right where it lives!*"
*Disclaimer: Please disregard the fact that the coronavirus currently resides in the body you will need after this treatment and, well, collateral damage yada yada. Thank you. ~DJT
I still can't see how a human with a functioning brain sees this as a "put this in your body" suggestion. And by functioning brain, I mean someone who can dress himself in the morning.

I'm so angry that Trump can just say these things and his medical advisors just sit there and say nothing. She could be fired by Trump but her colleagues would support her. She should be saying something. I am not American but I can see how this is going down and my heart is with you. The PM of the UK Boris Johnson is a bit of a buffoon. He went into Covid-19 wards and shook hands with patients, just to show how little Covid-19 would affect everyone.
He ended up in hospital and ICU for a few days and is now on a fucking holiday with his girlfriend. If he had just listened to his advisors he would have not got the disease and been able to run the country. Well, I don't think he can run anything. I wouldn't trust him to organise a piss up in a brewery. Boris Johnson is a lazy man, Donald Trump is a dangerous man who gets to tell people to drink bleach.
I hate both Trump and Johnson, they don't care one jot for anyone.

I'm so disgusted with trump supporters that I would not grieve if any of them Darwin themselves gone.

The light thing makes me think of the original Star Trek episode where McCoy temporarily blinds Spock while killing a parasite he has.

His supporters don't care. They play dumb..."well I haven't watched the news lately" or "findings can be interpreted different" or "he said we were looking into it, not that people should do it right away" "Well that's not how I see it" "We should agree to disagree" "It's my opinion and I have a right to my opinion"
Thank god for the block button so I don't have to see this shit on my fb feed as much

I agree and will say that even the education system won’t fix this. What we need to fix is the election system that disenfranchises so many people. Our current election system (including the electoral college) gives way too much power to people who have contempt for the educational system, science and rational thought.

For those who believe bleach injections will save them.
I have the bestest cleaning solution and it works really really great in a small unventilated room. Go in room. Pour a cup of bleach in a bucket
Pour a cup of **********in bucket.
Breathe deep
Your sinuses will clear in about 5 seconds.
Your room will sparkle.

I don't expect a president to be a scientist, a physician, an engineer, an economist. I do expect a president with enough BRAINS to consult with the top minds of any particular topic when he needs to make an important decision. S/he doesn't have to rely on whatever brain power or education s/he personally possesses.
This moron has the top minds at his disposal, if only his EGO would get out of the way. He's a damaged individual.

“On Friday, the White House hit back at the media’s coverage, with Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany saying in a statement: “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. Leave it to the media to irresponsibly take President Trump out of context and run with negative headlines.”” www.foxnews.com/politics/media-erupt-over-trump-comments-on-disinfectant-heres-what-he-saidHere is what Fox News is reporting and you can read all the comments defending him ETA - here is one comment. They are saying it is only speculation and there is nothing wrong with that. “ No question is a stupid question. It's the way most of us were raised. Speculation is just that and nothing more. If someone is too dumb to know that speculation is not fact then they deserve everything they get. An education is free in this country and if a person chooses not to take advantage of that then they pay the price.”

But HE does! It was NOT taken out of context. Any idiot can listen to the entire thing. These people don’t actually know what “taken out of context” means. They just throw that out there anytime he says something stupid. So...like every day. FTR:He actually thought that might be a valid idea. Just tossing around ideas. HE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA. How can his followers not see how stupid he is?  Why do they not want better for themselves?
