You know what I find most darkly hilarious?

Yesterday, Trump gives his blather about using light and disinfectant injections to fight the virus.

This morning, his more learned (relatively speaking, that is) defenders attempt to conjure up some excuse for his inexcusable statements.

"He wasn't actually referring to Lysol style disinfectants!"

"He was just talking about experimental ozone injections!"

And then just a little while ago from the Oval Office, the man himself offers up an explanation:

"I was being sarcastic!"

In other words, he shits all over anyone who just attempted to rationalize his statements on his behalf.

When will people learn he is an idiot, a moron, a liar, and an expert in absolutely nothing, and any attempt to polish that turd is completely fruitless and futile?

Over 50,000 Americans dead and the POTUS thinks it's appropriate to crack sarcastic jokes?

Anyone who would willingly move into Trump's circle is likely a pretty horrible person themselves.

Also, he was not being sarcastic. He defended himself yesterday (contemporaneously) as if he was serious. Today's statement is a face saving lie.
