Admitting creating a thread purely to bait people, is next level galaxy brain stuff.

It's a bit of a curve ball for him.

Doesn't matter if he was joking, he has a responsibility to not be telling dangerous jokes. Either he wasn't joking and he's an idiot for thinking it was a good idea, or he WAS joking and he's an idiot for making that sort of joke with an audience of hundreds of millions of scared people. take your pick.

A spike in New Yorkers ingesting household cleaners following Trump’s controversial coronavirus comments

An unusually high number of New Yorkers contacted city health authorities over fears that they had ingested bleach or other household cleaners in the 18 hours that followed President Trump’s bogus claim that injecting such products could cure coronavirus, the Daily News has learned.

The Poison Control Center, a subagency of the city’s Health Department, managed a total of 30 cases of possible exposure to disinfectants between 9 p.m. Thursday and 3 p.m. Friday, a spokesman said.

None of the people who reached out died or required hospitalization, the spokesman said.

But compared to last year, the number of cases was worthy of a double-take.

According to data obtained by The News, the Poison Control Center only handled 13 similar cases in the same 18-hour period last year.

Moreover, out of the cases reported between Thursday and Friday, nine were specifically about possible exposure to Lysol. Ten were in regards to bleach and 11 about household cleaners in general, the spokesman said.

In last year’s 18-hour period, there were no cases reported about Lysol exposure and only two were specifically in regards to bleach, the data shows.

During Thursday night’s coronavirus briefing at the White House, Trump suggested doctors may be able to cure coronavirus by injecting disinfectants like bleach directly into the lungs of their patients.

"Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs so it’d be interesting to check that … It sounds interesting to me,” Trump said, turning to his health advisers and asking them to look into the matter.

On Friday afternoon, following widespread pushback from medical experts, Trump claimed his dangerous suggestion was a joke.

"I said it sarcastically,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

Despite Trump’s sarcasm defense, health and emergency agencies took his comments seriously and warned people against listening to the president.

There wasn’t a hint of sarcasm in what he said though so let’s not pretend that’s what he was doing.

In fact, it being a "joke" is worse

[GiRTh]

Are we still trying to push that he was joking? A'ight if it gives you satisfaction but he kept looking at the Doctor, as some have mentioned not a hint of sarcasm in his voice and for me the clincher, the reporter who dared to question whether injesting bleach was a good idea was met with - You're fake news, you're fake, you're a faker. No he wasnt jokng cuz if he was then calling the reporter fake news was also a joke, right?

Let him carry on its lockdown gold these 'briefings', he's reminiscent of grandpa Simpson at the moment

I remember back in the day you could wash your lungs with bleach, it was called lillywhite lung day...and this was all orange groves, orange groves as faaaar as the eye can see!

Once you start supporting folks like Trump or Johnson, I suppose it's easier to keep going than fundamentally examine who you are as a person and what you stand for. If locking kids in cages, being credibly accused by nearly 20 women and 1 child of sexual assault, the racism, the sexism, allowing schools to be shot up etc, isn't enough and just provides ammunition to try and troll the libs, then you've already hit rock bottom, so why not keep digging at that point?

Very true. Its a sorry state when even 50k deaths encourages people to be more supportive of their incompetent leader

I dont think it was a joke but if it was it's even worse I think

[LeatherTrumpet]

Still trying to say I'm right. The urge is strong and wrong...

[Niamh.]

Right in what respect? Whatever way you play it, he's an awful leader in a time of crisis

Aww diddums.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Are you sure he is not doing it because he took his own advice and injected himself with bleach and became unavailable?
