Trump Falsely Claims Injecting Disinfectant Remark Was 'Sarcastic' | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

[donpeters]

I don't know about you, but I saw it live when he suggested disinfectant, he meant every word, so weak of a man to ignore his weaknesses.

[Rocinster]

I really wish Dr.Birx just stood up and said this is complete BS and walked out..

Back in the real world though...

[LifeCreation]

Folks, when he asked those questions, he was looking directly at his advisors. That wasn't sarcasm, that was 2+2 = 68.

From New Zealand, I will pray for the US 🇳🇿

[fendimonsta]

THERE IS NO ROOM FOR SARCASM WHEN LIVES ARE BEING LOST

[Kenneth_Usher]

We have a pure lunatic in the White House. 25th Amendment now !

[paulrobinson]

Dr. Birx should be ashamed of herself for downplaying trump's ignorance.

[ClintScottFischer]

From Canada, I'll pray for the U.S.

[johnstaybank]

Everytime he says something stupid, reporters should ask him: "Are you being sarcastic?"...

[ryanrivard]

George Washington: I cannot tell a lie
Trump: I cannot tell the truth
Trump supporters: I cannot tell the difference

[JAYPIX]

This is exactly why putting a man who cannot admit fault in the Whitehouse is inherently dangerous.

[stevengerrard]

Even if he was being sarcastic. How in the world is he making a joke out of this!? People are dying ffs !

[JeremiahMuchangi]

Amazing how he keeps repeating that he has done a 'great job' despite the high deaths.
He's not touched by the loss. Not even a word of empathy to the grieving people.

The whole world isn’t just watching...the *_WHOLE_* *WORLD IS* *_LAUGHING!!!_*
😜🤪🤦🏻‍♀️

[WhitebeardV]

This is hilarious....but seriously, American people need to get it together, man. US’s chaos is hurting the world

[corrieannfletcher]

It’s like a modern version of “The Emperor’s new clothes” disgraceful that not one of advisors have the balls to say “get off the podium, get your chocolate milk and let me do this”

[nancymary]

He signs legal documents with a Sharpie?!?! He might as well use a crayon.

[splashofun]

What a brilliant man we have to lead our country! THAT"S SARCASM!

[shelleyroberts]

Who on earth “talks things through to digest new information” during a national press conference?!
