Messner laughably claimed that President Trump is “doing a great job through this crisis” before diving facefirst into full-on disinfectant injection apologia.

“I think that you know, as we know, President Trump sometimes, you know, talks in aspirational ways that you know, that… To give hope, perhaps? And that’s who he is. And I think that all of us can—as consumers of that information—and we can get educated and understand what exactly he’s talking about,” rambled Messner.

“And I don’t think it’s a good idea that in the midst of this crisis that, you know, the kind of shots that people are taking at the president is just not helpful. I think overall he’s done a really, really good job with this,” fawned Messner.

A spokesperson for the New Hampshire Democratic Party, Josh Marcus-Blank, slammed Messner on Twitter for refusing to break ranks with Trump even when it comes to “spreading blatant disinformation that could kill people.”

1. And now he takes that hope away as his lies are exposed.

2. Not only that ...

3. Just we what need. A POTUS that you need a shrink to intrepret what he means.

4. Messner is correct in a way. Ultimately, he is an idiot.

Trump was talking about "huge amounts of sunlight..." and "injection...on the inside" as a way of trying to "give hope". Trump has said on a few occasions that he does not like that media is, "so negative" and has painted himself as the national "cheerleader" wanting to be positive.

Where Messner goes off the rails, and he does in a major way, is that he does not acknowledge how FUNDAMENTALLY STUPID AND FUCKED UP Trump's message of "hope" is. Trump is a fucking idiot who often shows how DEEPLY and IRREDEEMABLY horrible he is at approximating human behavior. He has no concept of it. He cannot express empathy, sympathy, love, kindness, patience, honor, or any other human behavioral and attitude marker.

The fact that Messner is defending the concept while ignoring how truly fucked up Trump's expression of the concept is, is a mark on Messner as well.

5. Does buying 100,000 body bags instill hope?
