"you have the president calling for injecting bleach"

Please don't repeat that. If you do even a little bit of research, you'll see that he didn't say that, and by repeating it you're lowering the dialog you want to raising.

I'll do you one better than repeating it:

Thanks for your unsubstantiated comment though

Thanks for the source that proves GP's point: Trump heard something, and isn't a scientist, so he was asking someone knowledgeable if it was possible.

It's terrible how badly this was reported on.

> “I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen,” Trump said.

No he was not.

That trope is only slightly wrong. He didn't say bleach, he said disinfectant. And that was in the context of disinfectant used to clean surfaces.

"And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?

"So it'd be interesting to check that."

Pointing to his head, Mr Trump went on: "I'm not a doctor. But I'm, like, a person that has a good you-know-what."

Seems like a live press conference is a bad time to just "ask questions". It's a very idiotic time, in fact, to start spitballing medical treatment ideas to the general public.

Exactly, great point
