Hmm..even if Trump made these statements,I like that he is thinking outside the box...afterall many inventions and discoveries came up by crazy clues or even accidents..let the health scientists think outside the box joor...he might have give them some clues to their research...
If this was a tech problem,I believe even computer village boys would have come up with antivirus by now...lol

GamalNasser:


If you are not dull you would have known this is fake news ooo

You are the dullard here because the president just accepted some few hours ago that he said that, and claimed he was only being sarcastic.

Centcanada:
Trump was only joking with the media. Reason like a man for once

YEAH JUST AS HE WAS 'JOKING' ABOUT HYDROXYL CHLOROQUINE. IF THERE'S ANYTHING WORSE THAN A KINDERGARTEN PRESIDENT, IT IS A MAGA NIGERIAN.

WelcomeToBiafra:
Fake news from the pit of shitthole the zoo and it fellow Muslim sycophantic media to discredit President Trump's re-election.


President Trump is bumping resources in order to sure this China's virus is been destroyed.

President Trump is on live TV, please where is the nigerian president?

TRUMP IS ON LIVE TV AND 50000 AMERICANS ARE DEAD. BUHARI IS QUIET AND THE DEATH TOLL IS UNDER 50. GET REAL.

HundHunter:
Trump is loosing his sanity

God help and safe America.

. How about your country?

GamalNasser:
Stupid fake news ...I watched the briefing and there was no where they said they would inject anyone with disinfectant , please disregard this Democrat fake propaganda !!!!! The briefing was about how sunlight and disinfectants killed the virus left on surfaces and had nothing to do with human body

You talk like an illiterate

Weeliweeli:


Trump clearly mentioned UV rays , a know disinfectant...and injection. UV rays are injected into the body as a disinfectant during cancer treatment through a process called Phototherapy.

CONGRATULATIONS. SUCH DEEP NEWS SPINNING COULDN'T HAVE ARRIVED FROM WATCHING THE 'FAKE NEWS MEDIA'. IT COULD ONLY HAVE ARRIVED FROM LONG HOURS OF WATCHING FOX NEWS.

You are here defending trump when trump himself came out to use sarcasm to shy away from what he said
If you know how to use twitter go nd check whats trending on twitter US

shachris02:
I know some Mimi would bring this thing here.

Trump was talking about UV light acting as a disinfectant.

wickedtuna:
lol oga research, it will make your brain lighter.

Bros, you are comparing apples and oranges. You obviously do not understand my point of view.

I am not saying you cannot treat the human body with UV light/energy to kill off cancerous cells. That's been around for ages. My point is just a matter of correct usage of English language terminology - that you cannot use the term "inject" for UV light including the UV irradiation you are talking about. The picture you posted used the terminology "exposed" for UV irradiation treatment.

The relevance of this is that when Trump mentioned the word "injection", he couldn't have been referring to the UV light he had mentioned earlier as it would be an incompatible grammatical association simply because you cannot inject light. You can only inject a tangible substance, i.e force it, into a human being. If Trump had said something like "exposure" or "exposed" then we'd know he was referring to the UV light.

In any case, Trump himself has come out to acknowledge that he made those statements but that he was only being sarcastic. So all these unsolicited and off-tangent defences you Trump minions are putting up is an exercise in futility.

abbey621:


I'm not doubting the man talks like a 6 year old and he himself said he is no doctor but Trump will be Trump, everyone knows this by now. Once again common sense is not common. If anyone told you to drink bleach and you did, doctor or president then you're freaking stupid!

Furthermore looking at the two quotes, why would you automatically reason that disinfectant means lysol/bleach instead of light? Are we so gullible as humans to forget context? Because to me disinfectant means to get rid of infection or to cure and that could mean medicine, light, bleach etc.

Well, apparently the makers of disinfectant, learned scientists, and many people in the medical community also automatically reasoned that disinfectant means lysol/bleach. We generally don't use the word disinfectant to imply UV... even in context (and tend to say UV sterilization), but I suppose all of us in these fields are gullible as humans to forget context. I'll leave it at that.

nextstep:


Oh, we call our president names all the time; particularly as he says too little, giving the impression he does not care. When he does deign to give a speech, there's very little real content of value.

Potentially dangerous suggestions are better left unsaid. The medial community and manufactures understand this and have issues warnings - because they know there are people who will take these suggestions at face value and implement them.

A president who understands his people would not make medically-unsound suggestions.

I guess by now majority of US citizens know Trump for who he is. I guess a lot will know he is just being Trump but I really wish we could have just a quarter of that Trump personality as our own president, too sad Africans end up mostly with myopic and selfish leaders.

hustla:


Only a dumb person asks questions like this . Why you sef wey no be POTUS no carry Dettol or Spirit go drink when you sick? Isnt that common sense? That is exactly why it is written on the dettol pack to not ingest it because of people like trump - he is dangerously dumb and uninformed about basic things

Instead of making dumb statements like this, he can ask in private and seek for explanations - google too is there - but he says he knows it all and thus does not need help

Any JS 3 student knows it would be dumb to inject dettol into your body

This man's problem is that he is too dumb

OR AS THE WASHINGTON POST PUT IT: 'STABLE GENIUS' OR DANGEROUS IGNORAMUS. BUT THEN NOBODY TAKES WAPO SERIOUSLY BECAUSE, AS WE ALL KNOW , IT IS PART OF 'THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA' THAT IS OUT TO GET TRUMP.

dmz1:
at least D Trump is seen, visible and in control of the different efforts to solve the covid 19 challenge in America. can we say the same thing of our president?

I know that it is very difficult for some of you to give up on Trump. His visibility and attempt to control everything, even the ones he has no knowledge about is putting Americans and human beings all over the world at danger. It is better to be silent and let the experts do their job and do the talking instead of all these clowning behaviour.
I prefer my Buhari hundreds of thousand times to this clown any day.

Medical professionals, including Dr. Vin Gupta, a pulmonologist, global health policy expert and an NBC News and MSNBC contributor. were quick to challenge the president's "improper health messaging."

The maker of Lysol also issued a statement warning against any internal use of the cleaning product.

The president has repeatedly touted unproven treatments during the daily briefings on COVID-19, the disease associated with the coronavirus. For instance, he has touted hydroxychloroquine as a potential "game changer," but health officials have strongly cautioned against it.

An Arizona man died in late March after having ingested chloroquine phosphate — believing it would protect him from becoming infected with the coronavirus. The man's wife told NBC News that she had watched televised briefings during which Trump talked about the potential benefits of chloroquine.

PresidentAtiku:
Are you a Yoruba muslim?

You get problem with that?

NinjaMetahuman:
I'm sure if buhari did same thing, you will be asking for his head now.


You people are just sentimentaly stupid.

No offense.

Okay

GamalNasser:


Keep quiet he never said that , we all watched the briefing and it was clearly about destroying the Virus on surfaces with UV Ray's , sunlight and disinfectants ...And yes Chloroquine works against COVID and there is a lot of evidence about this ...See that you plan with Obama to turn America to a Muslim nation has failed so face your front ...

GamalNasser:
Stupid fake news ...I watched the briefing and there was no where they said they would inject anyone with disinfectant , please disregard this Democrat fake propaganda !!!!! The briefing was about how sunlight and disinfectants killed the virus left on surfaces and had nothing to do with human body

You guys don't even know the meaning of quotation mark. When someone is quoted, you don't get to spin that. Dumbs. Hope you guys know the difference between watching and listening. Lol. You could be watching and not understanding what he was saying.

He added: "I see the disinfectant that 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? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."

"So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it's ultraviolet or just a very powerful light — and I think you said that hasn't been checked because of the testing," Trump said, speaking to Bryan during the briefing. "And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too."

nextstep:
Some people's hero. Implying that people drink dangerous substances that the manufacturer explicitly says: "don't ingest... but if you do, drink tons of water or go to hospital"... just insane.

Of course, he will blame the media for it, or blame the manufacturers, or try to fire one of his staff to deflect the backlash.

dokyOloye:

Oga,next time,try to read d full article.
Don't disgrace your lineage by posting this type of comment for the whole world to see.

I'm not sure why you're mocking my comment. He did say, and I quote from the dialog:

"Supposing we hit the body with tremendous ultraviolet or very powerful light"
"I've seen the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute... do something like that, like injection inside..."

I think any reasonable person would get that he's implying we should look into whether
1. subjecting people to relatively dangerous levels of UV; or
2. injecting people with disinfectant
would work.

And it's quite appropriate for those who know better to immediately shut down this dangerous implication. Manufacturers of disinfectants, and medical experts immediately denounced these suggestions, since there are people who can start doing things because of what Trump said/implied. Knowing Americans, they'd probably sue Lysol after their family member died from injecting/ingesting their products.

Just as it was implied that chloroquine could work against the virus... and soon after there were reports of people poisoned from overdoses of chloroquine.

It's best not to make any suggestions unless they have been proven and approved by the regulatory bodies assigned to test and determine efficacy and side effects.

I remember when ebola was raging and people suggested salt baths, silver oxide, and other ridiculous remedies. When I tried to caution people not to use these, I was accused severally of denying people hope. To which I replied:

"it's better for people to know there's no current solution, than to be misled into believing in things that have not been proven to work, and therefore put themselves and others at acute danger"

Sprumbaba:

Respond to that or shut up.
Americans had never got it wrong like this in their history, this is where Americans first mantra led them.

Mumu man

DabuIIIT:
I'm sure Trump spoke with a certain jihadist no t too long ago

Why is it that anybody supported by ipob turn out to be a fool.
Imagine this suggestions came from buhari, this thread for don reach 89pages full of ipob insult.
Every sensible man should not allow ipob pigs to support him.

But this is quoting out of context naaa

the whole script is on BBC and it's a briefing that fields questions from the President and expert opinion answers

it was not a suggestion in the context of that brief. it is a question

All d des people saying positive things about trump here at list he is coming out with suggestion, how anytime has ur president come out to even say hello.

Here’s a transcript of what he said.
You guys can have a field day twisting yourselves into weird shapes trying to defend the indefensible.

Even suggesting the UV light is something he had no business doing. Considering the side effects can be disastrous. I’m saying this for those hung up twisting it to around to seem like he meant injecting UV therapy. Even if he did mean that, it was a dangerous suggestion and he should learn to stfu. But clearly he was talking about injecting disinfectant. The time he mentioned UV light, he said through the skin. It wasn’t until he mentioned disinfectant that he said injection.

You folks are unbelievable.

THANK YOU, ALTHOUGH I GUESS THE TRUMPNUTS WON'T BE HAPPY WITH YOU FOR CALLING THEM OUT ON THEIR FOOLISHNESS.

You need to understand president Trump is not a health professional and was speaking offhandedly, not like your president whose prepared and edited speeches are always being read.
Now,as a lay man,he is correct even in that context. After all,same UV light is used to sterilize/disinfect hospital equipments.

WaleRock:



I guess we should approach this issue in the organic and fluid context in which he presented it.

He's definitely treaded carefully as not to appear as an expert making recommendations or so. These ideas are borne out of a President desperately seeking to explore all ideas that may just help.

Most of us would've been constricted into a tight corner as to hide from opposition news agencies in order to be found flawless at all times. This man is the boldest President in recent history.
He's obviously not given to political correctness which most other national leaders are inflicted with.

His suggestion are pretty flawed. But then, look at him again in another light, he asked the expert openly and the press were there.

I refuse to allow the press determine narratives for me with which to engage the world.

TRUMP DID NOT SAY THAT, PLEASE!

Direct Trump quote at 1:32


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K63t4fMTH6c

It won't kill Trump to keep quiet about things he doesn't understand. Supporting a man this out of his depth does not make you an independent thinker. The only news outlet excusing this rubbish are the sycophants at Fox News.

Fair enough. I understand that... many people understand that.
However, please understand too that people have taken his offhanded comments and done things they shouldn't.
And to avoid stories that touch, based on recent events, the manufacturer of Lysol felt compelled to say:

"As a global leader in health and hygiene products, we must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion or any other route),"

Igbos are very easy to know,you guys always bitter when anyone go against your demi god,so just because the dude state the obvious fact about your demi god,that's why you are towing the religious line.
