True, he merely suggested it _could_ be injected.
> 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. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you're going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds—it sounds interesting to me.
But getting hung up on whether he gave a direct imperative to inject bleach, or merely floated it as something that could be worthwhile is a case of not seeing the wood for the trees.
It doesn't help that the Venn diagram of people who were already self-medicating (or worse, medicating their children) with bleach and people who support Trump probably has a significant intersection.

- forgot_my_pwd 7y agoNowhere did he mention bleach, this is an example of stretching being done to make it sound like he said something worse than he actually did. I believe most people see the media's making a story out of this for what it is, just another example of biased vendetta driven reporting.
- plerpin 7y agoHe mentioned disinfectant, maybe sprayed on the lungs, maybe injected. Watch the video or read the transcript yourself.
- finger 7y agoParent probably means that Trump didn’t use the word “bleach” but disinfectant. There are different types of disinfectants: https://bio.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Microbiology/Book%3A_Microbiology_(Boundless)/6%3A_Culturing_Microorganisms/6._15%3A_Chemical_Antimicrobial_Control/6.15C%3A_Types_of_Disinfectants https://bio.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Microbiology/Book%3A_...
- bananabreakfast 7y agoThe fact that he didn't literally use the word bleach but still recommended looking into injecting disinfectants at a national emergency press conference does not make it better.
- EdwardDiego 7y agoOkay, fair point, but I don't think the usage of the term disinfectant makes the speculation any safer.
- forgot_my_pwd 7y agoI think it was a stupid thing to say, no doubt. He often says stupid things. But he makes up for that in other areas, which is why I will vote for him.
- 616c 7y agoOh I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, what are those things? I would like to hear them but keep in mind these are all opinions rarely (not never, I said rarely motivated b6) empirical analysis. I am curious.
- bananabreakfast 7y agoYou are an example of someone ardently and blindly defending a man clearly and spectacularly unfit to lead. There is no vendetta against him. It is people like you who have a vendetta against reality. The reality that he is very clearly losing his mind and that is not a media interpretation, watch the damn video!
