Fact Check: No, Trump Didn't Propose Injecting People with Disinfectant

CLAIM: President Donald Trump suggested injecting people with disinfectant to cure coronavirus.
VERDICT: False. Trump was speaking generally about new information about sunlight, heat, and disinfectant killing the virus.
President Trump is being quoted out of context — as usual — by left-wingers on social media who are accusing him of suggesting injecting people with disinfectant as a way of curing coronavirus infections.
Trump used the word “inject,” but what he meant was using a process — which he left “medical doctors” to define — in which patients’ lungs might be cleared of the virus, given new knowledge about its response to light and other factors.
Earlier in the briefing, Dr. Bill Bryant, leader of the Science and Technology Directorate at the Department of Homeland Security, described the results of new government research that showed that the coronavirus did not survive long in solar light, warmer temperatures, and more humid conditions. He added that disinfectants had also been effective against it.
Trump, responding to that, noted that there had been discussions of testing ultraviolet light on patients, or of methods to bring light inside the body. “And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it [the virus] out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside, or almost a cleaning, cause you see it gets in the lungs.”
At no time did Trump actually propose injecting patients with disinfectant; he deferred to “medical doctors” to figure out how to apply Dr. Bryant’s research.
When ABC News’ Jonathan Karl asked Dr. Bryant about whether the president had proposed injecting a person with “bleach and isopropyl alcohol” later, Trump clarified that “It wouldn’t be through injection,” and that he was talking about “cleaning, sterilization of an area,” and about applying the disinfectant to “a stationary object.”

Apparently there is no accusation too crazy for Trump’s critics to believe.

The hilarious part (besides your mental gymnastics) is that Trump actually thought he had some breakthrough idea that scientists hadn't considered. Its like suggesting we fill high rises with helium so they don't fall down.

Sounds like he’s suggesting disinfectant in the lungs.

I watched it live and knew he put his foot in his mouth.
No, he didn’t advocate this, it was more like... maybe there’s something there?
But yeah, it sounded kinda dumb. But Jesus, the man is probably mentally and physically exhausted and certainly meant no harm by the spitballing.

Trump is simply suggesting that all Dems inject themselves with Windex ASAP.
Sounds good to me.

The fact is everybody knows Trump is a liar and a conman. Y'all just think it is cute.

Whatever the context, or intent of what Trump said was, one thing is true, it was more coherent than anything Biden has uttered over the past year.

Considering people have to work this hard every day to convince people that the words he says really mean totally different words with different meanings, will there ever be a point that you just admit that the man is just plain dumb and/or mentally declining?
Who thinks it's breaking news that disinfectants kill a lot of viruses anyway?

I don’t think that’s what he was suggesting but what the frick was he suggesting exactly? Maybe he should leave the medical stuff up to, I don’t know, doctors and medical experts?
Posted on 4/24/20 at 6:23 am to FlexDawg
He has NOTHING to gain by continuing to appear at these press conferences.
He is going to get beat by a moron if he doesn’t shut up.

C'mom dude, I'm a big Trumper, but that's exactly what he was suggesting and the Dems are gonna have a field day over it. Mourning Joe is already jizzing his pants on live TV.

In today’s ceremony, I’d like to honor the OP with a gold medal in mental gymnastics. The backbend was exquisite.

Jonathan Karl is Mr Soy Boy Fake News. What an embarrassingly retarded question to ask by a so-called journalist. He must be getting ready for his next job at Weekly World News or maybe the CCP Director of Communications

He didn’t say that!

Ok he did say it, but that’s not what he meant.
That’s some serious double talk, but why even bring it up? No sane person thinks the pres really wants people to do that? It’s just silly twitter banter for 24 hours. Defending it or trying to explain it is just ammo for the opposition. Just shrug and let it go away.
