Trump was right that drinking detergent will stop you dying of coronavirus

... because you'll die of drinking detergent first.

Heard an expert say this on the radio earlier, made me Grin (in an OMFG we're all fucked kind of way tbf...)

I know Trump's batshit and his supporters don't seem to care - but surely he can't come back from this, can he?

He could always lead by example Grin

Barbararara · 25/04/2020 18:34

According to his supporters he didn’t suggest drinking detergent; he enquired about it.
And he didn’t specify household detergent, and sure what is a vaccine really but an injection of detergent

It is

It's a bit like fixing your leaky tap by burning the house down...

Barbararara · 25/04/2020 18:35

Sorry - presses post too soon - it is mind boggling to see people twist themselves in knots to defend him

Katinski · 25/04/2020 18:41

Well, it's a lovely sunny evening here, so I'm going to sit in the sun and drink a Lysol and tonic, with possibly a slice of lemon in it, right now. Grin

Did you know he was being, wait for it, ‘sarcastic’.

Only he didn’t sound sarcastic and talks a load of pish at the best of times so it’s difficult to tell reality from lies.....

Redcrayons · 25/04/2020 18:49

He says all sorts of batshit crazy bollocks, the world froths and nothing happens.

I've got an American acquaintance on fb. According to her hes been misquoted & he never said it. Hmmm I think he did

Love that hed now trying to say he was being sarcastic. Hes an idiot.

Sadly I think.its going to be merely axmatter of time before one of his followers tries it

Legoandloldolls · 25/04/2020 18:57

Of course he can come back from this. It's his normal batshit crazy brand power. Just another brain fart moment. No one expects more from him now surely. It's as good as it gets. People dont seem to care that hes as thick as a plank or as socially enempt as a slug. The bar is low, very, very, very low. He could pull his pants down and have a dump on the stars and stripes on live TV and people would still defend the twat.

The press have finally found the balls to call it outright lying.

Unfortunately people have died after hearing him lauding the benefits of hydroxychloroquine and deciding to drink fish tank cleaner, so it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility that someone will try it.

Frownette · 25/04/2020 19:49

I honestly don't know what he's going to come out with next

user1471565182 · 25/04/2020 19:49

Im just trying to imagine how I would react if I was watching Obama or even bloody Bush on TV and them suddenly coming out with that.

underneaththeash · 25/04/2020 19:52

@CornishPorsche I love that one.

The guy's a loon. I honestly don't get it.

Apparently Trump said this after lobbying by some bloke who advocates drinking bleach. Some people parents force their autistic DC to drink bleach as they think it's a cure Angry

Do you know the treatment for bladder cancer involved filling your bladder with a substance that kills germs.
Also he was on about UV killing the virus.
I believe there may also have been .....won't it be good if.... In the conversation.
