Here 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.”

Check out Dr. Brix's CBN interview lauding the President. A choice quote, “He’s [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.

Fri Apr 24, 2020, 10:55 AM
Apr 2020
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. So I asked Bill a question that probably some of you are thinking of, if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. 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 going to test that too. It sounds interesting.

ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: We’ll get to the right folks who could.

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, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.

So we’ll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute, that’s — that’s pretty powerful.

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.

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.&quot 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.

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.

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.

If you stupid enough to still support this con, you're stupid enough to drink disinfectant, or shove a blue light into you.
I fully expect casualties.

84. You know, honestly, if your beloved grandpa got up in front of people and started talking like this,

you would go over to him, gently grab him by the elbow, and whisper into his ear, "Hey grandpa, why don't we go over to the kitchen now and I'll whip up a bowl of tasty oatmeal for you."

87. When I was in residential

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.

not to a reporter. If he was being "sarcastic" (as he now claims) about her scientific knowledge on health risks of ingesting poisons, that rises above his normal level of arrogant ignorance.
