Trump is keeping the spotlight on his stupid comments about sunlight and disinfectants by

trying to revise history about the episode. He similarly kept in the news his stupid comments about the hurricane hitting Alabama, especially when he Sharpied the hurricane map.

Instead of admitting error or letting the hyperactive news cycle bury these embarrassing mistakes, he keeps trying to justify them in ways that keeps them in the news.
