  • Trump definitely did not suggest injecting bleach in jest. Anyone who believes him when he says it was a 'sarcastic' comment needs to go watch the actual clip, because they're clearly in danger of unquestioningly accepting all of the lies he habitually spews.

    He asked the question in earnest during one of his typical stream of consciousness word salads, and it was only after the press event when he was told that it was a stupid idea that he tried to excuse himself by claiming it was sarcastic.

    Even if you refuse to believe that, you might ask yourself why the hell the President of the USA was joking during a press conference about a disease which he knew to be serious. I know he's always tried to trivialise the virus in public, but only someone completely detached from reality would refuse to believe it was Trump talking on the Bob Woodward tapes. Trump himself hasn't denied that it's him on the tapes.

    I don't believe Trump is capable of joking about anything. He is undeniably a classic example of a narcissist, and all narcissists are fundamentally insecure. He doesn't dare joke about anything, because he's terrified that his audience will be laughing AT him, rather than with him.

    • The funniest thing is that before he decided to say it was in jest his supporters spent days posting pseudo-science and calling people "libtards" for failing to understand how state-of-the-art the method actually is and how amazing it is that the president is more on top of progress than most leading scientists. Then Trump shat all over them by essentially saying, "I was joking! How fucking stupid would you have to be to suggest something like that? Was it not obvious it was joke just based on how incomprehensibly stupid that would be? Even a fucking idiot wouldn't suggest that. Give me a break. Really?"
