> While it's not as bad as telling people to inject or drink bleach,
In your previous post you said it was suggesting people inject bleach though. Now it's not?
> I think it's still pretty bad.
Why is it bad?
> First, politicians should be really careful what they say because some people will only half listen to them.
No that's ridiculous. They should be careful in what they say, but not because people only half listen. And zero people out of 300 million injected disinfectant into their bodies after watching Trump ask this doctor about the research they were conducting, believing it would help them.
And if anyone actually did, it would have been because they heard a lie from a "news" corporation claiming that is what Trump said.
> Second, seriously, the president of the United States is suggesting such ridiculous things?
He suggested that medical research be done on some treatments or lines of investigation or promise that he'd obviously just been briefed on. He probably did the usual politician thing and got confused about highly technical details. Which is a cringy thing lots of politicians unfortunately do. Not all that outlandish though.
> He should realise that what he's suggesting is insane and either have them clarify it beforehand or just keep his mouth shut. And if it's just a joke the timing is totally inappropriate.
I'd much rather that than more wars and interventions and regime change though. Strange how this absolute nothing was lied about and propagandized by many who were so quiet about those other things. Makes you think.
