As someone who disagrees with Trump almost always, I feel like this is not a good point to harp on because most people realize he wasn't really suggesting people inject disinfectants, just musing. When conservatives see this kind of mischaracterization it just solidifies their beliefs that his critics are always wrong about him.

I am more upset about the fact he still doesn't seem to believe masks are very useful.

It is incredibly irresponsible for the President of the United States (or of any country) to speculate about obviously questionable practices like injecting disinfectant in the midst of a global pandemic and a national emergency.

And, the sad fact that we have to remind ourselves of this (you don't "muse" about injecting disinfectant!) is an indicator of just how irresponsible, destructive, and and constant the President's behavior, and it's enabling by politicians, the news media, or others in positions of influence (whose responsibility was to condemn such behavior) has been.

This is not complicated. No one who cares about their own well-being would ever want to work under a boss like that, much less let someone like that babysit their kids.

So you are agreeing your statement was objectively wrong?
