He didn’t say “bleach”; the media did repeatedly, lying in the process.
Of course, try to look it up and you’ll find 100 stories claiming he said “bleach” and a scant few giving the actual transcript about what he said, or noting that he later claimed he was sarcastically joking.
But “a lie will make its way around the world before the truth can pull its pants on”………
I am not a fan of Mr. Trump, but fair is fair. I happened to have the TV on the night he made that comment. What he actually said, (paraphrasing) is that since it was known that bleach killed the COVID germ on surfaces, perhaps our scientists could research that, understand the mechanism, and create a legitimate medicine from that knowledge. I have no idea why he backtracked later with the “joking” explanation. WE were all rather desperate when COVID first hit. But he did not suggest injecting oneself with bleach, at least not in the comment I heard with my own ears.

The MAGAts still believe in ivermectin.
And that Mexico will pay for it.

Step aside scientists, the politicians will take it from here.

Every time I hear or see Trump saying such things, I wonder if he’s ON “acid”…!
