Do you recall the last time a head of state discussed on live TV the usefulness of bathing in the reactor pool of a live nuclear reactor to cure cancer? I don't.

Funny thing is, this would actually be pretty save [1], especially compared to anyone ingesting disinfectants. And it's orders of magnitudes easier to access disinfectants than reactor pools [2].

But notice that Trump didn’t suggest that anyone bathe in reactor pools, instead he asked the scientist if it would be possible to harness UV radiation for some kind of treatment.
