  I’m basically quoting him. If you really want to split hairs, perhaps I should have wrote “the work of a very stable genius”. Quotes and sources below: Trump mused about whether disinfectants could be used to treat the virus in humans – asking whether there is “a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning.” [0] Trump said that he “would qualify as not smart, but genius .... and a very stable genius at that!”[1] "Suppose that we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light," Trump said at the White House coronavirus press briefing, adding: "Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way."

  Are you suggesting that’s false? >After the administrator, William N. Bryan, the head of science at the Department of Homeland Security, told the briefing that the agency had tested how sunlight and disinfectants — including bleach and alcohol — can kill the coronavirus on surfaces in as little as 30 seconds, an excited Mr. Trump returned to the lectern. >“Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light,” Mr. Trump said. “And I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but we’re going to test it?” he added, turning to Mr. Bryan, who had returned to his seat. “And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, either through the skin or some other way.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/24/health/sunlight-coronavirus-trump.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/24/health/sunlight-coronavir...
