> I always suggest we should make lying or misrepresenting facts while representing a government (from school councils to president), should be considered a very serious criminal offence.
You mean like claiming that Trump advocated drinking bleach? That kind of lying or misrepresentation?
- ContrarianBrit 5y agoWas he being serious? Genuine question.
- Turing_Machine 5y agoThere is a commonly repeated claim that Trump advocated drinking bleach. He didn't.
- rbanffy 5y agoHe, in his customarily ambiguous way, kind of did. He was rambling that if it kills covid in walls and floors, then, maybe, if would kill it in people.
- Turing_Machine 5y agoHe did nothing of the sort. He, as a layman, asked a medical expert about the possibility of some kind of injectable "disinfectant" (not bleach, specifically). While one might characterize that as naive, it's a long, long way from "Trump told people to drink bleach".
- rbanffy 5y agoWas he ever serious?
- rbanffy 5y agoNo, because 1- i am not a president 2- he kind of did it
