Bleach on the trumpian Brain

I knew going into all this that donald trump would be the most ignorant, ill-informed President Loser of the Popular Vote since Andrew Johnson, but I never imagined it would be THIS bad. Via Aaron Rupar at Vox:

At the briefing, William Bryan, undersecretary for Science and Technology at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), discussed preliminary government research indicating that “heat and humidity suppress Covid-19” and “commonly available disinfectants work to kill the virus.”

After Bryan’s presentation, Trump took to the podium and made a deeply bizarre inference.

“Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light ... and then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re gonna test that,” Trump said, addressing Bryan. “And then I see disinfectant, where it knocks it [coronavirus] out in a minute — one minute — and is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that. So, that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me.”

There's a video clip of Dr. Birx sitting to one side, listening to what trump is saying, and you can visibly see the moment her body recoils and her brain shuts down from exposure to trump's stupid.

Bryan - an actual expert on things - was talking about how disinfectants work on surfaces as a means of sanitizing stuff to reduce the spread of COVID-19. At no time did Bryan say a disinfectant can be used as a medicinal placed inside a body where those cleaning chemicals would be harmful to our living cells.

And this isn't even getting into the "shining a UV light inside people's bodies" idea he had.

Billy Madison was never this insipidly dumb.

There is a website literally domain-named as whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com covering trump-related news and this was at Day 1191 for the nation and world coping with this stupidity. There hasn't been anything this dumb archived at that site, I swear to the Old Gods and the New.

Quick show of hands to the seven blog readers: How many of you were told at a very young age to NOT drink from the cleaning supply bottles? How many of us were taught in chemistry class at school that certain things like bleach and ammonia are toxic to the human body? How many of us read the FCKING warning labels on our Clorox and Tide containers?

Lysol today had to release a public statement begging the citizenry to NOT start injecting their bodies with their cleaning chemicals. Disinfectant doesn't kill the virus inside your body, the disinfectant kills your body.

Why is the thought-addled Shitgibbon even talking about this as a cure-all?

Because the reports coming back on trump's previous hope for a cure - hydroxychloronique - are showing that solution is toxic as well.

Read how trump is bragging how quickly a disinfectant will work - "one minute!" - as a "cure," and this is just another red flag of how trump doesn't know what he's talking about. In his mind - wherever those remaining brain cells are - he's picturing a quick and simple solution to a problem he doesn't want to be confronted with anymore. No matter how wrong he's processing the information and cherry-picking the results.

This is yet another attempt by trump to reach for something, ANYTHING to be a miracle cure against the COVID-19 pandemic, but even this stretches credibility and common sense to its breaking point.

This is Kakistocracy gone public, with no solution in sight except for an open call to any remaining sane people in trump's Administration to get the hell out of there before it's too late.

trump: We award you no points, and may GOD have mercy on our souls.
