I wonder why you posted that, since it shows him clearly not proposing injecting bleach. That quote shows him wondering if there is some way some disinfectant can be injected into the bloodstream to destroy the virus, and that it would be interesting for doctors to look into that. He was obviously told that UV light is a disinfectant that has been used to directly treat blood (which is true).

I really dislike Trump, but I feel like I end up defending him quite often against people who are just completely uncharitable in their interpretations of everything he's ever said or done.

Really? you really want to argue that Trump wondering if disinfectant can be injected to destroy the virus is anything other than dangerously ignorant?

We have things that can be injected to destroy the virus. They are called "vaccines".

Trumps dumb suggestion is like watching someone use a weed whacker in their yard, then asking if microscopic weed whackers can be injected to fight the virus. I expect it off a young child, not a President.

You mean monoclonal antibodies[0]? Vaccines are far too slow for a fast-moving virus like this if you are already exposed.
