Earlier quoted context omitted.
Trump went on live tv and literally rambled about injecting disinfectants as a possible treatment for the virus. And “ramble” is not opinion, there is no better word for his statement on disinfectants, repeated below. I disagree with the politifact rating, based on what Trump said it should be “mostly true”. And the cdc even conduced a poll, apparently in response to trump’s press conference, that found 4% of respond…
That quote does not say to drink disinfectant... implying that it does is disingenuous at best. Even the far left PolitiFact admits that!
The result is people drink (a typical way people bring things inside their body ) bleach (one of the most common household disinfectants).
Then a couple months later biden recounts it as trump telling people to drink bleach.
To my mind it sounds excessively pedantic to rate that as mostly false. The claim matches the direct outcome of trumps words, and was close to but not the exact terminology used. In my opinion it’s far too pedantic to call that mostly false rather than mostly true.
But okay were going to have different opinions on that matter, let’s compromise.
I think we can both agree it’s completely accurate to say that evidence suggests trump’s musings about disinfectants as a corona virus treatment on National tv led Americans to drink bleach.
————- And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're going to test that too. Sounds interesting," the president continued.
"And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?
"So it'd be interesting to check that."
