There is a commonly repeated claim that Trump advocated drinking bleach. He didn't.

He, in his customarily ambiguous way, kind of did. He was rambling that if it kills covid in walls and floors, then, maybe, if would kill it in people.

He did nothing of the sort.

He, as a layman, asked a medical expert about the possibility of some kind of injectable "disinfectant" (not bleach, specifically). While one might characterize that as naive, it's a long, long way from "Trump told people to drink bleach".

Was he ever serious?
