Trump didn't make the leap to directly say to do that, but he did clearly think that strong lights and disinfectant in the body 'should be looked into'. He was saved from directly making a terrible recommendation by having some amount of deference for the medical organizations, but did try to show 'thought leadership' in a very dumb direction.

It was not some sort of Stanford spinning up wild concepts, it was Trump taking very obvious things about how we handle these things outside the body and thinking that we would be the first to ask 'but what about inside the body?'. Yes, he phrased it as a question to be looked into, but he clearly thought there could be something to it.

About the only credit you can give to first term Trump in this scenario is that he at least ultimately left health issues up to the health departments, even as he groused the whole time.

I mean, I quoted where he literally said that.

Yes, one can give him the benefit of the doubt as he is a fucking idiot. But fuck that, he’s in a position where the words he says are taken at face value and will and have killed people.

Even if his heart were in the right place and he were merely stupid, there is no reason to defend this shit.

Again, the concept of using an injected antiviral was given to him by Stanford

I don't understand how you think that's a defense of any kind.

So your Snopes link splits female arm hairs, admits it with a quote, then says the assertion is wrong, after demonstrating it's right. Laughing out loud.
