SARCASTIC QUESTION: President Trump Clarifies Injecting Disinfectant

President Trump, in his White House coronavirus task force briefing Thursday, appeared to suggest that light and disinfectants might have the potential to treat the coronavirus — prompting a number of stories condemning the comments, others seeking to defend the president and a scathing tweet from presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

The comments even prompted a statement from Reckitt Benckiser Group, the makers of Lysol, warning against improper use of disinfectant products.

"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)," the company said. "As with all products, our disinfectant and hygiene products should only be used as intended and in line with usage guidelines. Please read the label and safety information."

The virus is going to die of embarrassment at this rate

If I'm not mistaken I believe he was looking at Dr. Birx when he was making the comments on injecting disinfectant to target COVID-19 infections.

[wingTKK]

The words injection and disinfectant should not go together

[adventureescape]

When the first lie doesn't work... lie again.

[AutomationTechDad]

*Wasn't he talking to his medical team and not the reporters?

[Josh-vclr]

Sorry, the reports do spin things but not this time. This is a straight out lie, go view the original clip yourself. It's borderline crazy.

[mattfoley]

Hilarious how Fox 10 Phoenix won't show the clip he's referring to.

[geo]

Come on Fox, show that damn clip. So we could see that "sarcastic" question.

[niteal]

Everyone needs to take responsibility for themselves.

[josephknipp]

Anyone anyone please if you believe this for a second go re watch the injection moment. He's talking to his expert. There's zero sarcasm he's being absolutely sincere. I had to watch again just to be sure. Did I miss something? No no I did not he's quite literal in his question, not to the press but to the expert about injecting disinfectant.

[momova]

He said what he said and we all saw & heard that. Why discuss about it? It can not be sarcastic.

[LOBOPROYT]

While people die everyday he keeps making stupid jokes .. waste of time

[Antonis]

He’s not clarifying anything, he is simply offering up another thinly veiled excuse for another idiotic comment

[ericellis]

Watched the the incident in question...There was NO sarcasm involved.

[abarbar]

I wonder why this YouTube channel doesn't post a video of the original conference where suggests injecting disinfectants "INSIDE THE BODY"

[normanclature]

Not just that he said something so ignorant, but to come back with a statement like this... absolutely no integrity. Something the American people need so badly right now.

[markb]

It wasn’t a question it was a statement! Does he not realize he’s constantly being recorded??

[jasongooden]

You guys are all funny. The best part of YouTube is the comments section

[MrMxxt]

Nice try trump....only problem is WE SAW EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID!

[Laxreviews]

I think sarcasm from the president isn’t needed right now
