And is there a way we can do something by an injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs . . . so it’d be interesting to check that.” Added to that, if any fluids you drink are entering your lungs, you are in big trouble already.

I said if his science advisors disagreed with him they should have said so when he asked them during the conference... not later - clarifying things. That's all I said. I hope that will be the last time I have to say that, but I highly, highly doubt it. Trump Derangement Syndrome is sad, really.

Surely to god every man, woman and some children know the dangers of ingesting disinfectant ? I could understand if he was questioned on some complex medical/science stuff and miss spoke but this is basic stuff.

His nonsense was so ill-informed that Trump himself has just contradicted him. He added nothing of value to the conversation, much like a high-school-educated valley girl sharing her opinions on quantum entanglement with physicists at Cal-tech.

Seriously to Christ. This is just ridiculous. We have now got the situation that the manufacturers need to announce that disinfectant can kill you if used this in way all down to the President of USA, a person with influencing, conjecturing that it might be a good thing. What an absolute idiotic thing for him to do. There is simply no excuse for it. Oh! Maybe there is, maybe he is geriatric and losing his mind. It's very sad. I am being sarcastic. He is a pure fool, a moron of a man for saying it.

Jesus...are we nearly at peak hysteria yet...
