President Trump is facing widespread backlash (1) after musing during a White House briefing that disinfectants could be injected into coronavirus patients bodies to kill the virus. Medical professionals and makers of household cleaning products responded by urging people not to inject or ingest disinfectants, which are highly toxic.
The outcry over the presidents remarks came as the covid-19 death toll in the United States approached 50,000, with more than 860.000 confirmed cases. Globally, the reported death toll is nearing 200,000, with more than 2.7 million confirmed infections.

Among his other transgressions, Trump is liable for medical malpractice.

Someone should sue Fox News and individually Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham for broadcasting fake medical advice that results in death. Add Rush Limbaugh also. A few lawsuits might tame them a bit.

(11,882 posts)A sitting president making suggestions during a national health crisis telling people injecting something toxic could kill this virus, which will cause someone to die from believing it. Why is he allowed to remain in his position after doing this? This isn't partisan attacks against him , its a national disgrace no one is putting their foot down allowing this idiot to continue doing things like this again. Shame on media for showing him do this , and continue showing his comments, they are promoting dangerous things and should be included in all lawsuits partly responsible for deaths that do occur from this. trump should face lawsuits for this.

(18,882 posts)At least that's what Trump will say today. He'll come right out and tell everyone that he never said that, although there's more evidence on record to sink our entire navy. Our "president" is a complete moron, but you already knew that.
If there's one thing Trump hates, it's being laughed at. The media can expect to be lambasted by IQ45 today for not reporting what he said accurately, although they did. Whenever it's clearly shown that he's a complete moron, he turns the volume up to a Spinal Tap-ian "11". That's what we can expect today.
Reality is what Donald Trump says it is, and don't forget it. At least that's what he wants everyone to think.
