Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHere are Trump's exact words from yesterday....Just to keep it clear to all...CNN:
Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, if it's ultraviolet or very powerful light. And I think he said that hasn't been checked but he was going to test it. Then I said what it if you brought the light inside of the body which you could do either through the skin or some other way and I think you said you were going to test that, too. Sounds interesting. Then I see the disinfectant, knocks it out in one minute. Is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside, or almost a cleaning because you see it gets on the lungs. That you're gonna have to use medical doctors. Because it sounds interesting. The way the light killed that in one minute is pretty powerful.

this clown is nuttier than a fruit cake.
The only problem is his cabinet, and his ass kissing VP are either compromised, in one way or another trump has something on them, or they are afraid he will trash them and the trump cult will not vote for them come election time.
If republicans really cared about this country, they would do the right thing no mater what. I just don't see their patriotism at all!

Dr. you are already in the worst possible assignment. It cannot get any worse.
Trump is a very dangerous man and his behavior is killing Americans. I bet before this is over one of his cultists will kill themselves with and injection or swallowing a caustic poisonous clean fluid.

(17,863 posts)Check out Dr. Brix's CBN interview lauding the President. A choice quote, Hes [Trump] been so attentive to the scientific literature and the details and the data, Birx said. I think his ability to analyze and integrate data that comes out of his long history in business has really been a real benefit during these discussions about medical issues. I wonder where this latest piece of Trumpian wisdom fits into her evaluation. Some reporter should ask her.

THE PRESIDENT: Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it 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. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, youre going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds it sounds interesting to me.
So well see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute, thats thats pretty powerful.

(11,869 posts)I have made a study of human behavior, including profiling and criminal behavior. I am not a psychiatrist... full disclosure. I write horror fiction.
WHAT I THINK THAT WE WITNESSED YESTERDAY WAS A LOYALTY TEST. He spouted that absolutely crazy nonsense to force those physicians, who he is jealous of (their education but most of all the attention that they are getting in the press) to cringe under the lash of his ignorance.
Think about how insane that is and how massively dangerous.
He is mentally ill and is damaging the psyche of the nation in the middle of a deadly pandemic and the press is helping him do it.
I believe that he is a psychopath and a serial killer. He enjoys humiliating and hurting others and he is reveling in the attention he is getting every afternoon in these absolutely soul sucking shit shows.
DEMAND that the MSM pull the plug o this right now.

(13,259 posts)localroger
(3,627 posts)You would be right if he knew he was spouting bullshit. But I don't think he knew that. I think he thought he was really dispensing some brilliant insight that these overeducated people were just too wrapped up in their ivory towers to see. He knows he has a problem; he doesn't understand medicine but he does understand popularity, and his habits in that direction go deep enough to be immune to whatever is shorting out his ability to process new information. But as the poster child for Dunning Kruger, he doesn't know he's spouting bullshit. For his entire life he has convinced himself that he is the smartest person in the room and the sharpest operator, because he's also spun every bad thing that ever happened to him into a sucess story (e.g. "bankruptcy is a briliant use of the financial laws as they exist." So in his mind he is really making daring connections that might lead to a miracle cure, which need to be pursued as quickly as possible to save his ass in November.
I am sure the horror in Dr. Brix's face came from the realization that while they thought they had the problem of Trump's flights of fancy contained they obvoiusly didn't, and there is no telling what crazy thing he will come up with next without even giving them a chance to talk him down.

(11,869 posts)They do not understand irony or sarcasm. ... Psychopaths have real problems understanding and creating metaphors, especially those which require humor. They also do not understand or appreciate jokes. All of these things require empathy, which they do not possess.
If anyone can show that this creature has ever told or laughed at the sharing of a joke, I would like to see it. I have never seen him genuinely share a laugh.

(7,947 posts)It's idiotic in the first place that they have to sit there for 2 hours after 5 pm when they should be going home and getting some rest.
But also, they-- especially Brix- are giving him more credibility just by being there and not contradicting him loudly and openly.
If they want to inform the public, they should hold their own briefings and refuse to appear with Trump.
And I never had much respect for Pence, but he is taking "lickspittle" to a new status, standing there beaming sedately at everything Trump says, day after day, when he is theoretically (with Jared, lol) supposed to be coordinating efforts to deal with the pandemic.

Buns_of_Fire
(17,181 posts)Which is fine -- in a private team meeting. I've done it myself. Sometimes the most off-the-wall ideas cause a couple of brain cells to rub together in someone else.
trump's problem (and ours) is that it's not appropriate in a so-called "briefing" where people are expecting to hear factual information to maybe help them live through this.
EndlessWire
(6,536 posts)He might not use the term "Lysol," but he is using the word "cleanser." He is talking about "injecting" cleanser.
This is just as macabre as you can get. He's talking about trying in an experiential way both UV light and cleanser, and he is stating that doctors need to do it to get it inside the body. Gawd Almighty, we have been here before with the Nazis. He is talking about medical experimentation on human bodies.
He is moving on, folks. Which group of people is he going to use first? He is thinking about drowning people in Lysol. Go back and read that again.
Maybe he's dreaming about the Nobel Prize again. We have to get rid of him.

I also think Democrats know and have the goods on him and putin , and are waiting until the election gets closer then they'll put it out for the public. This is a chance for the gop to remove him before he destroys them more, which he will do.

(28,079 posts)Apparently some braniac called into a right wing radio show and suggested people could fill a vape pen with bleach or the disinfectant of choice, and that would get it right to their lungs.
Based on what Thom said, this was not strongly discouraged.
I really wouldn't care if his base tried this, but I'd hate to see them wasting time and resources at ERs.

(12,480 posts)For psych issues my roommate drank Clorox in a suicide attempt.
I was lucky to turn around on the way to my room she had the bottle of bleach guzzling it . I knocked it out of her hands, kicked the bottle away because she walked twords it than I grabbed the phone and noticed she was walking back to get the bleach again and so I grabbed her and I restrained her as I dialed 911.
She went right to the hospital,she didn't come back to residential. I hope she's ok. Sad part is I don't know if she survived.
The staff chewed me out for saving her life tho. Because I didn't tell them first there was a problem.
I told them for fucks sake she was drinking poison.
I didn't have time to clear it with y'all because she could have died while I waited around on the phone for y'all to get your slow asses around to answering the damn phone.
Damn right I called 911 first and if you don't like that y'all can fuck right off.
I flipped them the bird and walked back to my apartment
Most residential programs I lived in were staffed by narcissists and dumb asses. I have called the ambulance on other clients that were overdosed or poisoning themselves. And Everytime I got chewed out by the residential program too.
