    Say what? Truly moroni.

    So .... the coronavirus can be killed in about 5 minutes by bleach, and one minute by isopropyl alcohol. And even by UV light.

    Nothing surprising in that, you might think.

    Except The Donald's reactoon ....

    "And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're going to test that too. Sounds interesting," the president continued.

    "So it'd be interesting to check that."

    Pointing to his head, Mr Trump went on: "I'm not a doctor. But I'm, like, a person that has a good you-know-what."
    Trump is quite correct .... he's not a doctor. In need of one, maybe.

    I mean, seriously????

    It takes quite something for any politician to surprise me these days, but for probably the most powerful man 8n the planet to actually think that, let alone say it on TV ...... truly dumbfounded. Stunned.

    Word of advice, Mr Pres ..... it might be a good idea to run further medical notions past .... well. an adult .... before operating gob.


    On a serious note - could this be where the wheels finally fall off the Trump bandwagon? I mean, he's said some monumentally stupid things before and got away with it but this ??? It defies description.

    is he advocating UV light therapy inside the body? Cancer-causing UV light radiation, gene-mutating DNA damaging, melanoma inducing UV?

    Re: Say what? Truly moroni.

    This would be almost amusing if it was just some idiot on youtube... Seriously, injecting disinfectant?

    You just know some gullible Trump nutter has bought into it and tried it already.

    That would appear to be the same UV, yeah..Unless he has some truly astonishing, really great UV .... that's new to physics.

    Re: Say what? Truly moroni.

    In Donalds defence if anyone does ingest or inject themselves with bleach it's incredibly unlikely they'll then die of coronavirus.

    In all seriousness the man is either an idiot or unhinged. Mike Pence needs to start boning up on the 25th amendment.

    Re: Say what? Truly moroni.

    I watch American politics with fascination. I'm surprised you can be offended by this after all the rubbish he comes out with.

    Hydrochloroquin fiasco has just passed. He contradicts everything he says the next day. NOTHING he says is the truth. His vulgar personal attacks on journalists which lead every non answer to their questions is unhinged.

    He is a child thinking because someone has suggested something to him he can not truly comprehend he suddenly thinks its genius. He was pushing the idea as suggested to him to the public in the effect if he mentions he can then use it to say he is the saviour. If you watch the clips the true danger is the Lady doctor sat to his right who instead of correcting his stupidity is dancing to his tune and head nodding; the entire us administration is becoming replaced by these people in some kind of despot regime. The intelligence heads and Navarro for example; the judiciary is getting replaced by unqualified conservatives who do not meet the ABA (American Bar association) standards which started in Obama's time while McConnel (?) headed up the senate.

    Kudos to Fauci and the CDC who now just say it like it is. They will be replaced soon or as soon as the virus has passed. God help America if he stays in for another term.

    In the UK we can laugh at this but face the truth that what we have is little better.

    Seriously, this is what America prefers to Obama?
    Tell you what, how about they take Boris to complete the set, and we put Obama in charge here? I think even Her Maj would be in favour...

    Re: Say what? Truly moroni.

    They didn't prefer him to Obama, they preferred him to Hilary Clinton.

    For me it's not his politics, George W Bush was from the same party and often portrayed as not the sharpest tool in the box but he never said anything as downright stupid and dangerous as this. Not even close.

    Re: Say what? Truly moroni.

    UV light inside the body is an actual therapy under development by a company called Aytu Bioscience. It looks ridiculous to me, but maybe Trump googled 'New Coronavirus treatments' right before the press conference.

    Given there were people munching on Aquarium cleaner last month, he probably should just stop talking. Like forever.

    Re: Say what? Truly moroni.

    Good point about UV, TeePee. We could draw parallels with x-rays (dangerous, per se, but therapeutic in targetted, controlled doses. Or even therapeutic ultrasound (different application to ultrasound scans).


    But injections of disinfectant?

    Even if it were an avenue of research (after all, someone had to invent chemotherapy, which is not an obvious thing to ingest), it's the .... crass way he suggested it.

    Maybe one of the Americans present can confirm, but I think "you-know-what" might be a US idiom for "supply of 'shrooms".
