So Donnie's not stupid, he's trying to calm a nation with sarcasm.

Okayyyy.

Am I supposed to think that's an improvement?

I mean, what he displayed was gross negligence level stupidity, advocating internal use of bleach.

But generally, I can forgive stupidity.

Much harder to forgive evil. Do they really want me to think he *knew* bleach is toxic if taken internally, and decided to make some kind of "sarcastic" joke about it? while people are literally dying by the thousands on a daily basis, he's joking about toxic treatments?

Is that really an improvement?

To think that over 50,000 people are dead and you would make "sarcastic, joking" remarks about injecting disinfectant in your body - A method that actually kills people - people that commit suicide drink disinfectant/bleach. Toddlers get in the cabinet and ingest cleaning agents and die. And you would actually make a joke in the midst of the nightmare that people are living?

He is such a narcissist that he would rather make up this stupid lie and make himself look even more callous than to admit it was a stupid thing to say.

That reminds me, one of the telltale signs of a psychopath is that they can neither understand nor produce humor.

He has facial expressions and tones of voice that are all too familiar when he is being sarcastic, snide and disrespectful. He neither looked nor sounded sarcastic yesterday. No sneering.

and flat out stated "It was not sarcasm; it was ignorance." It's delightful to see educated people call Chump out on his BS.
