GS, for the tenth time, why was it stupid to ask if there's a way, given that we now know that scientists are already working to answer that exact question.

Trump was rambling about how interesting the science is (and it's very interesting). He mentioned that light and disinfectants kill the virus, so he continued the thought and asked "is there a way" to use those things to safely combat the virus? Why wouldn't you ask that that question? Scientists are working right now to answer that same exact question. Are they stupid and reckless?

As to saying he was sarcastic...in his initial statement, your side is saying he meant something (inject yourself with Lysol) very different from what he actually said. But when he says he was being sarcastic, you take him at his word.

So when he says something harmless, you claim he meant something else. When he says he was being sarcastic, you take him at his word.

How about we hold him accountable for what he actually says and does? I didn't like his sarcasm explanation, because there was nothing remotely wrong with what he originally said, unless you are a dishonest ideologue.

The vaccine, necessarily, must include something that kills the virus, right? Right now, there are only so many things that we know of, that kill it. Why in Gods name wouldn't we explore every single one of those, to see if they can be safely used?

What's more lethal - Lysol or radioactive material? But we figured out how to use radiation to safely help cancer patients.
If people die or suffer severe intestinal burns, which I already know has happened, then it's a stupid question to ask on national TV and frankly if you kids lives depended on your honest opinion; I'd be shocked if you didn't agree it was stupid.

Believe him if he said it was sarcasm, absolutely not, that's the classic Trump walk back. I know it wasn't sarcasm it was just a lame arse question which should have been asked in private. Had he asked the experts in private, they would have said in their own way, what are you crazy. Then at least, he would have been saved the public embarrassment he so richly deserves.
