What's even more ridiculous about this sarcastic angle he's going for, is that about 5 seconds after he says he was being sarcastic, he then goes on to sincerely repeat what he said last night about bleach killing the virus! 
Within the span of 30 seconds, he refutes the claim that he was being serious and sincere, and then goes on to be serious and sincere about the very same thing! He's just too dumb. I suppose he'll come out tomorrow and say he was being "meta"

LIke what the actual feck:
Here is a fuller report on the exchange that just took place in the Oval Office between Donald Trump and the small group of reporters gathered to see him sign the latest coronavirus financial rescue legislation.
From the pool:
Reporter: Can you clarify your comments about injection on disinfectant?
POTUS [President of the United States]: I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen. Now disinfectant or doing this maybe on the hands would work. I was asking the question of the gentleman who was there yesterday, Bill [Bill Bryan, the acting homeland security undersecretary for science and technology], because when they say that something will last three to four hours or six hours, but if sun is out, or if they use disinfectant, it goes away in less than a minute. Did you hear about this yesterday?
POTUS: When I was asking a sarcastic — a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside, but it does kill it, and it would kill it on the hands and that would make things much better. That was done in the form of a sarcastic question to a reporter.
Reporter: But you were asking your medical experts to look into it.
POTUS: To look into whether or not sun — and disinfectant on the hands — but whether or not sun can help us. Because, I mean he came in yesterday and he said they’ve done a big study. This is a study. This isn’t where he hasn’t done it. This is where they’ve come in with a final report that sun has a massive impact negatively on this virus. In other words, it does not live well with humidity and it doesn’t live well with sun, sunlight, heat. It doesn’t live well with heat and sun and and disinfectant. And that’s what I brought up, and I thought that was clear.
Jeff Mason [Reuters journalist]: Just to follow up on the comments from yesterday you said you were being sarcastic, but some people may have misunderstood you. Do you want to just clarify?
POTUS: I wish they […]
Jeff Mason: Do you want to clarify to Americans if you don’t want people to think that?
POTUS. Yes. I do think that disinfectant on the hands could have a very good effect. Now, Bill is going back to check that in the laboratory. You know, it’s an amazing laboratory, by the way. It’s amazing the work they do. So, he’s going to check because a hard surface. This is a hard surface I guess maybe depending on whose hand you’re talking about, right? But this is a hard surface and disinfectant, disinfectant has an unbelievable — it wipes it out. You saw it? Sun and heat, and humidity and you wipe it out. And this is from tests — they’ve been doing these tests for a number of months. And the result — so then I said, ‘Well, how do we do it inside the body or even outside the body with the hands and disinfectant I think would work.’ He thinks it would work. When you use it when you’re doing your hands. I guess that’s one of the reasons they say wash your hands, but whether it’s washing hands or disinfectant on your hands, it’s very good. So, they’re going to start looking at that. And there is a way of, you know, if light — if sun, sun itself that sun has a tremendous impact on or kills it like in one — it goes from what was it? Hours to like one minute instead.
So, I said you got to go back and look, but I’d like them now to look as it pertains to the human body. Not just sitting on a railing or sitting on a wall. I’d like to look as it pertains because maybe there’s something there. They have to work with — I’m not a doctor. They have to work with their doctors. but maybe there is something to light, and the human body, and helping people that are dying.
Jeff Mason: Just to clarify: You’re not encouraging Americans to inject disinfectant?
POTUS: No. Of course not…It was said sarcastically. It was put in the form of a question to a group of extraordinary hostile people. Namely, the fake news media.
Jeff Mason: Some doctors felt you needed to clarify that after your comments.
POTUS: Of course, all they had to do was see just — you know the way it was asked. I was looking at you.
Jeff Mason: No you weren’t sir. I wasn’t there yesterday.
Weijia Jiang: You were looking at Dr. Birx.
POTUS: What’s that?
Weijia Jiang: You were looking at Dr. Birx.
POTUS: I was looking at Bill. I was looking at the doctor. I was looking at some of the reporters. I don’t know if you were there. Were you there?
Weijia Jiang: I was there and I watched you ask her.
POTUS: You were there. You were there. You I never forget.
Jeff Mason: I wasn’t there yesterday.
POTUS: You were not?
Jeff Mason: No sir.
POTUS: Yeah. I didn’t think you were there.

He’ll just find some other random controversy and we’ll move on in no time, like making fun of Jane Goodall or something.

Help us, Sun. You're our only hope.
I live in Louisiana and it's currently 31c here, how much hotter does it need to get? I mean we get upto the extremes here anyway but i call foul on this considering we are up there with New York in cases.
So Trump says he was being sarcastic about the disinfectant. 25th Amendment now.
He's gone full on senile hasn't he?
Republicans surely must be questioning his place right now, why are they still supporting him?

That's some Falstaffian levels of backtracking. Well played Donald, well played.
I have fish in my pond smarter than him.

Is Pence any better? Genuine question, I have no idea. But that's who it'd be, right?
haha good one
Pence is one of the few people on the planet to make AIDS worse in recent times, he's going to do exactly as trump does but with less entertainment for us
Oh. How?
This was the information that he was referring to
COVID-19-DHS-Chart-on-Sunlight-and-Humidity-Credit-DHS-and-CNP.jpg
Anything that can't speak is smarter than him.
Potatoes, tomatoes, rocks, good lord how the standards have fallen. He's the fecking President of the United States
They're still supporting him because he's meant to be the decoy.
Trump wants a white sun.Oh my bad
This walk back makes his "I meant wouldn't" excuse after the Helsinki speach look like a stroke of genius.
Pence is your middle of the road politician. I feel he is more beatable in a election.
Pence also has a history of downplaying the link between smoking and lung cancer, writing in a 2000 op-ed that “despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn’t kill.”
America is absolutely fecked, I mean, I giggled at Arnie and Ron but it's just genuinely fecked up.
what the actual feck
The only consolation is that in a few years when the planet goes back to some form of normality we can browse through these words in our leisure time whenever we want a quick laugh, or to take our minds off the screaming wolf packs and robot dinosaurs eating the remainder of the Ozone.
Implication that at the moment Donald gets back in?
At first when all your posts started seriously and ended in hilarity, it was funny. Now it's just fecking hilarious.
Isn't he a retired Turkish football player who played for Leicester City and Turkey?
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or you're really trying to tell me I should inject myself with bleach.
"It was just a prank, bro"
Despite the fact that he is President of the USA and supposedly the most powerful man in the world, it seems to me that he hears tiny snippets of information.What's even more ridiculous about this sarcastic angle he's going for, is that about 5 seconds after he says he was being sarcastic, he then goes on to sincerely repeat what he said last night about bleach killing the virus!
Within the span of 30 seconds, he refutes the claim that he was being serious and sincere, and then goes on to be serious and sincere about the very same thing! He's just too dumb. I suppose he'll come out tomorrow and say he was being "meta"
And without any attempt to understand it, he then as libs and trots out this stuff as if he is really clever and understands everything.
Luckily, everyone knows that you should take absolutely no notice of anything he says.
Never seen a president like him for talking total rubbish.
I mean. Can you imagine Obama saying this?
Sarcasm chief. A Maglite is what you need.
They should be questioning his sanity.
I'd ask to borrow yours but I don't want your arsehole to feel lonely.
He’s like Quayle on steroids. Even Dubya wasn’t this bad.
Not wrong, even with what's going on and POTUS advice, they're still selling them with like an etched grip. Impossible to get shit out of.
Forgot to say, it does provide a light at the end of the tunnel though.
