The media isn’t needed to interpret the so called POTUS’s words. We all have ears. We hear the insane ranting and babble at his daily Covid Campaign press conferences.
The fallacy is that Trump’s exact words are there for everyone to hear. His demeanor is there for evryone to see. Absolutely NO media interpretation is required. In fact, the media reporting on this has been, almost exclusively, presentation of the video clip. Perhaps Mike hasn’t seen it.
Donald Trump, Coronavirus Press Conference, 4/23/2020 at 29:46 minutes:
“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, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said 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. Sounds interesting, right? And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in 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. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful. Steve, please.”
Mike, when you try to defend this late after the fact all the good comments have already been taken. So I will give credit to those who made them:Let’s start with your buddy, your pal, (since you know all the best people) who hasn’t even got this one onto GoComics yet:
No Lester; the Rump said that doctors should look into injecting disinfectants into the body. Of course this will definitely only work on republicans. Anyone who still supports the Rump should give it a try.
Sorry, but deflecting by using a lie about how the media quotes Trump (such as claiming it says that Trump said to inject stuff into your underarms) does not justify stupid and dangerous things that Trump actually did say…

This is what the President was also asking about. Dr. Birx apparently missed the press release by Cedars-Sinai.
“Cedars-Sinai-Developed ‘Healight’ Medical Device Platform Technology Being Studied as a Potential First-in-Class COVID-19 Treatment. The Healight technology employs proprietary methods of administering intermittent ultraviolet (UV) A light via a novel endotracheal medical device. Pre-clinical findings indicate the technology’s significant impact on eradicating a wide range of viruses and bacteria, inclusive of coronavirus.”
If Oggi’s post about “Intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy” is still up when you read this, please flag it and message gocomics asking them to remove it. It promotes dangerous quackery — a harmful, discredited therapy without scientific support that’s promoted by providers of fringe medicine pseudotherapy. See
(60 Minutes report) “A Prescription For Death” "The National Multiple Sclerosis Society calls intravenous hydrogen peroxide “unproven” and “potentially dangerous.” The American Cancer Society warns “there is no evidence that it has value as a treatment for cancer or other diseases.” https://www.cbsnews.com/news/a-prescription-for-death/
“IV hydrogen peroxide: An unproven therapy that could be dangerous” “There’s no proof this treatment works. On top of that, IV hydrogen peroxide can be expensive and potentially dangerous. Yet it’s not hard to find naturopaths in Southern California who offer it.” https://www.scpr.org/news/2017/09/05/75250/iv-hydrogen-peroxide-an-unproven-therapy-that-coul/
(NIH study) “Lack of antibacterial activity after intravenous hydrogen peroxide infusion in experimental Escherichia coli sepsis.” " These results suggest that extracellular hydrogen peroxide, whether of exogenous or endogenous origin, does not have antibacterial activity" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3888840
The position of president has gravitas. They are listened to. Words have consequences. Reports are already coming in on increased calls to poison centers (NYCity, Baltimore) and whatsapp in Africa, it apparently is getting wide viewership.
Lester, this is by far the most pathetic “I’m such a tool” cartoon you’ve ever done. I can’t imagine the level of TCPD (Trump Cult Personality Disorder) from which a person has to suffer to watch that video and come up with this sycophantic dreck.
ROFL. Lester is so funny. As long as you don’t mind that he’s so far out in right field that a few more steps will cause him to drop off the edge of the world.
I’m so happy that the MORON is going down in November and I just read that he will also take the Senate with him. Hopefully idiot Jowls McConnell and many more behind cleaners (a$$ lickers) are not reelected. I wish I could vote but I’m not American.
Just because he couldn’t POSSIBLY have meant what he said doesn’t mean he didn’t say it. (And I don’t believe he did mean it; I think he’s just never bothered to acquire the thinking/language skills to express what he meant, and never let that stop him from expressing it anyway.)
There was no sarcasm. Obviously. That would take more self-awareness then this idiot is capable of. He actually thought it was a fantastic idea. This idiot is trying so hard to be the savior he is hyperventilating. And we are all stuck with the clueless wonder. So until sanity, intelligence, and TRUTH return to this country, all his sycophants will just drink their Kool-Aid and follow orange idiot boy down his disillusion rabbit hole. And come post November LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!
Why did No one think it was sarcasm when he said it? Not even Fox news went on TV to say how this was the greatest piece of Presidential Humor in history?
No one though it was Sarcasm. No one thought it was humorous and no one thought it wasn’t serious.
Trump also claimed sarcasm when he wanted to Drop Nuclear weapons on hurricanes.

America has gone from the the leader and envy of the free world to the laughingstock in 3 short years, yet Lester’s proud of the job Trump’s doing.
I guess he thinks being laughed at is the sign of good humor, too.
