Question...Has Trump apologized yet? You know for the statement about injecting Lysol?

[Stuart G]

Or any other disinfectant?....10AM ET..??

[dhol82]

1. Press secretary just issued a statement saying he was taken out of context.

[Hugin]

4. After altering the transcript...

[Dave Starsky]

25. What other context could it have possibly been taken in?

It's a bat-shit crazy statement no matter how you look at it, in any context.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I don't know why you think he'd apologize. He's never apologized

for anything and never will.

[Stuart G]

8. I thought that maybe this time..just maybe...once in a lifetime??..OH SH*T..YOU ARE CORRECT.....

......Your exact words....."He never apologized for anything and never will"....

[Voltaire2]

3. NYT this morning: 'not all experts agree'.

So there is nothing to apologize for. It seems that there exists an 'expert' who agrees that a lethal injection of lysol is a good idea.

5. It's a common method of suicide. Do some experts think suicide is a cure?

[Voltaire2]

12. well again, it's a modest sized planet in a huge galaxy.

So there could exist at least one 'expert' who would agree, even if nobody on earth would.

[Claustrum]

13. At least your cause of death wouldn't be COVID-19 /s

[Voltaire2]

15. why do 'responsible' media outlets give this ass clown any credence?

[Claustrum]

24. Why would any "responsible" and "functioning" adult think Trump is a good leader?

But after 3 years of this crazy president, I still cannot convince my parents of his craziness. I am simply a Trump hater and anything I said is immediately discounted (even if I just repeated what he said).

29. I think you're on to something. Trump figures if Covid-19 sufferers commit suicide by Clorox,

his pandemic death toll numbers will be lower.

[Hugin]

10. I take that as proof Dr Mengele is still alive...

Somewhere in South America or the Antarctic depending on which conspiracy theory one subscribes to.

[sop]

19. "Not all experts agree" is the NYT's version of FOX News' "Some people are saying."

[crickets]

30. Yes, THIS. nt

[underpants]

6. Simple messaging

[Stuart G]

11. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[underpants]

17. 20 years ago. Getting light INTO the body?

[DesertRat]

7. Imagine being the person at Lysol who got the call...

Imagine being the person at Lysol that got the call to write a statement telling people not to consume it because the president told them to!

28. They probably had to wake that person up.

I'm sure they were just thrilled to have to compose a formal, board-approved statement at 2:00 a.m. about something so utterly ridiculous.

[doc03]

9. He will deny he said it and if they have tape it was altered by the fake news to

make him look bad.

[Freethinker65]

14. He can't apologize. He will pull a crazier stunt to deflect the conversation

He used Sharpie on an NOAA weather map, said the threat of the virus was a partisan hoax, withheld approved money from Ukraine to get a manufactured smear on Biden...
He never apologizes.

[Javaman]

16. you are going to wait a long time if you think a psychopath is going to apologize. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. Trump 101:

1. He never apologizes, ever, for anything.
2. He will never change.
3. No matter what he does, it will not be the end of his presidency. Only an election or nature will get rid of him.

I hope these basic points are sufficient to end any further unrealistic speculation.

20. If the NYT keeps burying ledes...

...they're going to have to buy a bunch more plots -- if those plots haven't already been snatched up by the families of people who might have been dissuaded from using Trump's quack cures, if only the press had done it's fucking job.

[JHB]

21. Are you feeling all right, Stuart? Any hallucinations, like...

...thinking you've seen Trump ever apologize for anything?

If so, contact your doctor immediately.

[Golden Raisin]

22. Don't you mean DOCTOR Trump?

[Laelth]

23. Trump doesn't apologize.

Nor does he take responsibility.

NEVER.

27. Donlad Trumps exact words... from CNN.....Got to quote exact words..I did not make this up.

“Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, if it's ultraviolet or very powerful light. And I think he said that hasn't been checked but he was going to test it. Then I said what it if you brought the light inside of the body which you could do either through the skin or some other way and I think you said you were going to test that, too. Sounds interesting. Then I see the disinfectant, knocks it out in one minute. Is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside, or almost a cleaning because you see it gets on the lungs. That you're gonna have to use medical doctors. Because it sounds interesting. The way the light killed that in one minute is pretty powerful.”

[DesertRat]

31. I think that the trump family should test it and report back to us. nt

[IcyPeas]

32. the latest is that he was being sarcastic when he said it.
