Do you remember him suggesting to drink bleach or exposing yourself to UV? [0] Let's say for example the President keeps his yap shut about hydroxychloroquine or drinking bleach [0] etc and 10 people listening to Alex Jones die taking it because they are frightened. Now lets say POTUS goes on televised News and suggest doing dangerous things to 100 times the size of Alex Jones's audience and we end up with 1000 needless deaths of people that may not get COVID anyway. I expect Alex Jones to be an irresponsible sleaze bag but POTUS should have some restraint/intelligence. [0] [VIDEO]

Watch the whole thing for yourself [VIDEO] He talks about light for the first two things (cover the body and put it under the skin) and then switches to disinfectant. Was clearly talking about some kind of chemical to "clean the lungs" like you would clean you bathtub.

I beg to differ. Quote from Trump: “I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute ... is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning?" "Because you see it gets inside the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that” [LINK] Edit: found the actual video. Enjoy! [VIDEO] The guy is a full on moron who thinks he is a full on genius.
