The absurdity of Donald Trump

[Happy Monkey]

Altered how? You said that the idea of internal medical treatment was valid, but the specific things to inject, mechanisms of injection, things that can be treated that way, and location of application were wrong.

To get to the point where what he said wasn't dangerous, you have to ignore enough to make what he said meaninglessly trivial.

All I know is that one dumbass was removed from his local decision loop by the chloroquinine thing.

Anyone still stupid enough to take Trump seriously won't be a big loss when they inject Lysol or Draino or whatnot.

Some people are just too stupid to live, regardless.

I addressed what I quoted, the question of whether or not Trump was being sarcastic at the time of his statement. I pointed out that the concept of something being used for external (topical) treatment also being used for internal treatment has precedence and that Trump seemed to have been serious about that much. I never said Trump's public speculation about it in regard to coronavirus wasn't inappropriate; or, even dangerous. That's something you read into it, perhaps after Dani's subsequent post introduced that matter. I haven't replied to it.

Fair enough; if all you were doing was saying that he wasn't being sarcastic, then we're in agreement. Please treat the 'you' in my initial response as a generic 'you'.

As an aside, obligatory XKCD:

Maybe that's what these toy soldiers were trying to say?
