Trump now claims his insane remarks about Lysol and light yesterday were sarcastic

[Snake Plissken]

Even if that were true, "which we all know it's not "

Is that somehow supposed to make it any better?

50,000 Americans are dead; and he's performing a stand up comedy act for the cameras?

I expect a little more from my President that the intellect of a 10 year old internet troll

1. Was he sarcastic when he was the HydroxyChloroQueen? When he promised to release tax returns?

[Claustrum]

2. Just wait till today's presser

He will deny it's sarcastic and he asked a very smart, very good, very legal question.

3. That's always his excuse isn't it? Every single time. It was a joke,

or he was being sarcastic. I want a reporter to ask him if he finds 50,000+ deaths something to joke about. Someone needs to make sure he doesn’t appear at these briefings starting today.

11. Exactly. He's like today's version of Eddie Haskell but

he can’t even fake that polite side of Eddie.

4. POS wasn't responding to a question,

HE brought it up out of the blue.

At this point, I'd care not a bit if his supporters start injecting themselves with Clorox.

7. Donald (Jim Jones) Trump

Proves he isn't a genius, or stable, and craves attention as another deranged cult leader trying to con his followers into believing his daily propaganda, and has now evolved into suggesting consuming, or injecting toxic chemicals that will kill people as a cure. Time for the 25th. Or remove all the gop with him for not removing this dangerous lunatic.

8. His contemporaneous defense indicates otherwise.

Trump said that it was a question and a suggestion and indicated that he was not a doctor, but was intelligent, which was why he was asking the question.

He said, "maybe it will work, maybe it won't" which is usually what he says when confronted with an obviously stupid sentence that he wants to distance himself from. If he was being sarcastic, why did he not indicate that during the briefing which continued after those statements.


And, you are right. Either way, he said something incredibly stupid and inappropriate. He needs to apologize either way. If he was serious, then he needs to apologize for putting stupid and dangerous information out there. If he was being sarcastic, then he needs to apologize for not treating the pandemic with the seriousness needed by the national leader.

He won't apologize. He can't. He should however, be confronted and told he needs to do so.

10. The man is to sarcasm as IV disinfectants are to COVID-19.

Stable genius, my ass.

12. His sarcasm was in response to a reporter's question. #phantom reporter.

[leftyladyfrommo]

13. He doesn't have the emotional depth or the intelligence to be sarcastic.

He doesn't have anyconcept of humor so he wasn't just joking around.
