Trump is getting dragged on social media right now for that dumb Ass comment yesterday lmfaooooo
Man what a freaking moron.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
“As a global leader in health and hygiene products, we must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The parent company of Lysol and another disinfectant warned Friday that its products should not be used as an internal treatment for the coronavirus after President Donald Trump wondered about the prospect during a White House briefing.
Trump noted Thursday that researchers were looking at the effects of disinfectants on the virus and wondered aloud if they could be injected into people, saying the virus “does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”
That prompted a strong warning from the maker of disinfectants Lysol and Dettol, which said it was issuing a statement to combat “recent speculation.”
“As a global leader in health and hygiene products, we must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion or any other route),” said the statement from Reckitt Benckiser.
Researchers are testing the effect of disinfectants on virus-laden saliva and respiratory fluids in the laboratory, said William Bryan, of the Department of Homeland Security. They kill the virus very quickly, he said.
“And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning,” Trump said. “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.”
The president has often talked up prospects for new therapies and offered rosy timelines for the development of a vaccine as he encourages states to move to reopen their economies.
On Thursday, the White House also pitched “emerging” research on the benefits of sunlight and humidity in diminishing the threat of the coronavirus.
Past studies have not found good evidence that the warmer temperatures and higher humidity of spring and summer will help tamp down the spread of the virus.
But William Bryan of the Department of Homeland Security said at a White House briefing Thursday that there are “emerging results” from new research that suggest solar light has a powerful effect in killing the virus on surfaces and in the air. He said scientists have seen a similar effect from higher temperatures and humidity. A biocontainment lab in Maryland has been conducting testing on the virus since February, Bryan said.
“The virus is dying at a much more rapid pace just from exposure to higher temperatures and just from exposure to humidity,” Bryan said.
Trump was asked if it was dangerous to make people think they would be safe by going outside in the heat, considering that so many people have died in Florida.
“I hope people enjoy the sun. And if it has an impact, that’s great,” Trump replied, adding, “It’s just a suggestion from a brilliant lab by a very, very smart, perhaps brilliant man.”
“I’m here to present ideas, because we want ideas to get rid of this thing. And if heat is good, and if sunlight is good, that’s a great thing as far as I’m concerned,” the president said.
Bryan stressed that the emerging results of the light and heat studies do not replace social distancing recommendations.
Earlier in the month, scientific advisers told the White House there’s no good evidence yet that the heat and humidity of summer will rein in the virus without continued public health measures.
Researchers convened by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine analyzed studies done so far to test virus survival under different laboratory conditions as well as tracking where and how COVID-19 has spread so far.
“Given that countries currently in ‘summer’ climates, such as Australia and Iran, are experiencing rapid virus spread, a decrease in cases with increases in humidity and temperature elsewhere should not be assumed,” the researchers wrote earlier in April in response to questions from the White House Office of Science and Technology.
In addition, the report cited the global lack of immunity to the new virus and concluded, “if there is an effect of temperature and humidity on transmission, it may not be as apparent as with other respiratory viruses for which there is at least some preexisting partial immunity.”
They noted that during 10 previous flu pandemics, regardless of what season they started, all had a peak second wave about six months after the virus first emerged.
In March, Dr. Michael Ryan, the World Health Organization’s emergencies chief. said, “We have to assume that the virus will continue to have the capacity to spread, and it’s a false hope to say yes, it will just disappear in the summertime like influenza.”
He’s the dumbest man to ever sit in the Oval. It’s not even close.
He is mind boggling stupid. And he actually thinks he is providing some kind of ingenious insite into that world that is totally interesting so check that you are going to have to use medical doctors.

How much more do Americans need to see before they admit, this guy is dangerous beyond belief?
Trump doesn't seem to understand who he is as President of the United States. Everything he says is listened to by the entire world and some people will follow his suggestions...
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has made himself the daily spokesman for the nation’s coronavirus response. Yet few Americans regularly look to or trust Trump as a source of information on the pandemic, according to a new survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Just 28% of Americans say they’re regularly getting information from Trump about the coronavirus and only 23% say they have high levels of trust in what the president is telling the public. Another 21% trust him a moderate amount.
Confidence in Trump is higher among his supporters, though only about half of Republicans say they have a lot of trust in Trump’s information on the pandemic — and 22% say they have little or no trust in what he says about the COVID-19 outbreak.
But even as many Republicans question Trump’s credibility during the pandemic, the overwhelming majority — 82% — say they still approve of how he’s doing. That’s helped keep the president’s overall approval rating steady at 42%, about where it’s been for the past few months.
Lynn Sanchez of Jacksonville, Texas, is among those who backs Trump despite reservations about his credibility. Sanchez, who identifies as a political independent, said she trusts “only a little” of what the president says about the crisis, but believes he’s “doing the best he can.”
“He’s contradicted his own health experts a couple of times. I believe he gets carried away and doesn’t sit down and think things through,” said Sanchez, a 66-year-old retired truck stop manager.
The survey’s findings underscore Trump’s rock-solid backing from Republicans, who have been unwavering in their overall support throughout his presidency, despite reservations about his credibility and temperament. If that support holds through the November election, Trump would still have a narrow — but feasible — path to victory.
MORE ON THE OUTBREAK: – What you need to know today about the virus outbreak – The Latest: Sharp Corp holding lottery for popular masks – Probe sought in Trump administration's ouster of scientist The findings also raise questions about the value of Trump’s daily briefings from the White House during the pandemic — televised events that often paint a sunny picture of the nation’s pandemic response that runs counter to the experiences of many Americans in cities and states hard-hit by the fast-moving virus. While the briefings are the White House’s main vehicle for getting information to the public, they frequently devolve into forums for the president to berate journalists and critics of the administration.
Trump has personally led the briefings for weeks, with a regular cast of public health officials, Cabinet secretaries and Vice President Mike Pence also taking turns updating Americans on the administration’s response to the health and economic crisis.
Many Americans say they wish Trump were listening to some of those experts more as he navigates the crisis. Specifically, 60% think Trump is not listening to health experts enough.
The leading public health officials advising Trump, Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx, have advocated for maintaining strict social distancing measures even as the president and some of his supporters agitate to begin reopening the economy. The survey found the vast majority of Americans — 80% — continue to back requiring Americans to stay in their homes, and a majority doubt that it will be safe to ease restrictions soon.
There is no indication that Trump is ready to step away from the daily briefings. He regularly touts their television ratings, one of his favorite metrics for success. And indeed, the briefings continue to be aired at length on major cable news channels each evening.
Full Coverage: Virus Outbreak Still, this moment of national crisis, with more than 45,000 reported coronavirus deaths in the U.S. and millions of Americans losing their jobs, has done nothing to broaden the president’s appeal.
Just 11% of Democrat say they approve of Trump’s job as president. And 84% of Democrats have little to no trust in information the president is providing about the pandemic.
“I don’t believe a thing the man says,” said Goble Floyd, a 70-year-old retiree from Bonita Springs, Florida. “And that’s sad when so many lives are at stake.”
The pandemic has reshaped the landscape for Trump’s reelection prospects in November, when he will face Democrat Joe Biden. The virus’s swift spread across the country has upended the strong economy the president hoped to run on, leading 26 million Americans to file for unemployment.
It could also overhaul what qualities Americans are seeking from their commander in chief.
There are few metrics in which Trump rates well with the majority of Americans. Just 17% of Americans say Trump is highly disciplined. And when it comes to empathy — often an important intangible in presidential elections — 24% say Trump cares about people like them.
Trump’s highest-rated attribute is leadership. According to the survey, 32% of Americans say strong leader is a very good description of the president, along with 18% who say that describes him moderately well.
When it comes to the nation’s response to the virus, Americans are more inclined to trust and seek guidance from their state and local leaders than the president.
About half of those surveyed said they regularly get information from state and local officials and about the same amount say they have a significant trust in that information. And thus far, a majority of Americans — 63% — say they approve of how states are handling the outbreak, up slightly from three weeks ago.

Lets give him a friggin participation trophy. He is doing the best he can, givin he is a complete moron. America deserves much much better.
to take a page out of Purp's book, since he cant wait for us to get the virus, im giddy at the thought of trump supporters trying Trump's disinfectanct treatment.
hopefully purp will be the first one to inject himself with lysol and let us all know how it goes, then ill happily get the virus. just for him.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Op-ed: Trump's Disinfectant Idea Is More Than a Silly Sound Bite www.bloomberg.com ...All of which gets us to the worst moment of Trump's Thursday session. After a discussion of whether the pandemic might prove to be seasonal, a reporter asked him: "If there is a summer sort of ebb with this virus, what would the federal government need to do to take advantage of that time to be better prepared for a possible resurgence in the fall than we were the first time?" Trump didn't even appear to understand the question. At first, all he could come up with was, "I think a lot of people are going to go outside all of a sudden." Then he got distracted and talked about a lab he thought was impressive. Then, when the reporter repeated the question, he looked stumped and asked Vice President Mike Pence to step in....
Bad...PLEASE, do not take the following as "personal"...but Trump's best...is not good enough, imo!
If Trump's best is good enough for you and your children, vote for him again.
BUT, if you expect more from your 'commander in chief' than the present, you might think about how you voted in the past and how you will vote in the future vote...
...the lives of your family might hang in the balance...
If there are people out there that hear a non-medical-professional (or really anyone for that matter) say it might be a good idea to inject a household cleaner into their body and then act on that... maybe they just weren't meant for this world.
Probably a bit harsh, but I just laugh and shake my head that Lysol has to come out and basically say, "No, don't drink bleach".
"I'll take your word at face value. I have never met you but I assume you have a face..lol"
we *did* have people ingest fish tank cleaner because they saw the word hydroxychloroquine on the label. Nevermind that it wasn't the correct compound, it had that word.

The herd will certainly be thinned. At protest rallies across the nation. At hair salons, barber shops and nail salons across Georgia. At the beaches in Florida and Georgia and South Carolina.
Voluntary herd thinning has become an actual thing.

and, yes, heat will stop the virus, as will UV rays. and yes, warm climates are still experiencing plenty of viral spread.
Both are true and not mutually exclusive. UV will damage the RNA and heat will break down the lipid layer surrounding the RNA.
Hot places also have lots of climate controlled cool places where people spend lots of time and there are air handler units that move shared air around all over the place.
So, go enjoy summer. Get off your tukkas and get outside.
Go to the beach, lol!

We have a huge green space that are nothing but woods which borders along our back yard. I spend a lot of time there. A lot of wildlife. It's quite cathartic.

This has been my thinking all along. I've heard many complain that Biden isn't getting any press. That we never hear from him. How Trump uses these briefings more as a campaign rally than an actual coronavirus briefing.
I actually agree with all of that. Yet at the same time that's the beauty in all of it. With not hearing from Biden, it gives the Republicans no further ammunition against him. And the more Trump talks at these briefings the further down his approval ratings fall.
It's a double edged sword to me. I feel bad for the American people having to listen to this daily tripe and watch the total lack of leadership displayed here at a time our nation needs it most.
On the other hand, it intensifies the message to the American people just how incompetent and hateful he is as a human being. It's watching self destruction in action.

I have to drive to the woods for now, but if my company moves in the direction of closing offices and moving us permanently to working remote, then I'm likely moving to Tennessee within the next two years and I'll be getting myself a large chunk of woods up on the plateau.

The only thing you may wish to consider is logistics. You can get great property value much closer to Nashville and still have that suburban/country setting while being much closer to an urban area that allows you to having a much greater variety of social events closer to your home.

Lmfao. Got people trying to defend his comments only for him to walk it back.
Can’t wait for the spin job out of this one.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Biden is not perfect but damn an amoeba has more brain matter than trump.
Man you lefties a are joyless bunch. He didn't say anything about injecting lysol or bleach. He was just throwing ideas out there like somehow getting Ultravioletinto the body. Turns out Dr's are already looking into this .
You guys should spend a little less time with Fake news trying to put a stupid spin on everything he says.
