What, pray tell, is disingenuous?

Sure, the comment is a bit pointed, but isn’t the GOP the party of “F%#k Your Feelings”?

What part of my comment was false?

"Obviously the work of a real genius who understands the power of using very bright lights inside the body to fight COVID." you joking?

Are you suggesting that’s false?

>After the administrator, William N. Bryan, the head of science at the Department of Homeland Security, told the briefing that the agency had tested how sunlight and disinfectants — including bleach and alcohol — can kill the coronavirus on surfaces in as little as 30 seconds, an excited Mr. Trump returned to the lectern.

>“Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light,” Mr. Trump said. “And I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but we’re going to test it?” he added, turning to Mr. Bryan, who had returned to his seat. “And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, either through the skin or some other way.”

I’m basically quoting him.

If you really want to split hairs, perhaps I should have wrote “the work of a very stable genius”.

Quotes and sources below:

Trump mused about whether disinfectants could be used to treat the virus in humans – asking whether there is “a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning.” [0]

Trump “would qualify as not smart, but genius .... and a very stable genius at that!”[1]

"Suppose that we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light," Trump said at the White House coronavirus press briefing, adding: "Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way." [2]
