People actually did die because of a few of his recommendations. Darwin deaths, obviously, but still preventable and irresponsible.

u/earsofdoom 15d ago

I'd say his complete mishandling of a pandemic lead to many more deaths, and allot of those weren't single issue republican voters.

The questions were hilariously uninformed though, and devoid of basic common sense. And it's obvious from this picture that he got the idea from reading a few slides, also a hilariously stupid thing to do.

I just don't understand why you have to apologize for him. The man is a total buffoon but you're defending him because what, you can point out that he didn't say "inject bleach" but instead asked a question. But it was a stupid question, and the "Trump told people to inject bleach" is a much funnier thing to say than "Trump asked if injecting a disinfectant into the body to clean it would work on national television."

u/zuazo5 15d ago

Your bewilderment is second only to mine in the constant need of your camp to create false narrative in order to have an argument.

There is no apology being given.

What I am providing to every person who enters this thread is the ability to read of the actual UV treatment that he was referring to, and the opportunity to listen to the conference and hear for themselves that the claim that he told people to inject Bleach is not true.

Pointing out facts is not apologizing.

1

u/unknownohyeah 15d ago edited 15d ago

It is though.

"So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light. And I think you said that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it. Then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you could do, either through the skin or some other way and I think you said you were going to test that, too. Sounds interesting. Then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. Is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside, or almost a cleaning because you see it gets on the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it will be interesting to check that. That you're gonna have to use medical doctors. But it sounds interesting to me."

He's not referring to any treatment. He's spitballing on the fly. And since you're obviously making up shit to make Trump look better, that is apologizing for him. It's pathetic. You are in a delusion. The man is a fucking idiot.

You are oblivious as to how you so thoroughly backed my claim.

u/unknownohyeah 15d ago

Tell me which treatment he referred to in that block quote.

u/NocteStridio 16d ago

To be fair, he did pose injecting lethal chemicals as a question. You have to be shockingly poorly informed to consider that, which is a deeply frightening thing for the POTUS to be.

0

u/zuazo5 15d ago edited 15d ago

Then be fair.

What he proposed , to the doctors and scientists researching the virus, not to the general public, was that the injection of disinfectants ( didn’t mention lethal chemicals) be looked into, along with the upcoming treatment that involved injecting UV light which has been developed by AYTU and Cedar-Sinai. There are many types of disinfectants. Hydrogen peroxide is a disinfectant as is UV light. It is common for people to gargle with peroxide, which also results in ingesting small quantities, so it isn’t beyond the realm of possibility, especially in the case of asking those who would do such research if it were possible.

As an aside, in regards to injecting lethal chemicals, cancer patients do it every day.

u/wagamamalullaby 15d ago

He could have proposed this in private to medical professionals. It was deeply irresponsible of him to make those remarks on live tv.

u/zuazo5 15d ago edited 15d ago

I agree. Much of what he said throughout his Presidency was cringe worthy.

Im betting that somewhere in the files of the FBI is a letter I wrote to President Trump telling him to just shut the fuck up.

Your beloved leader was dumb as rocks and you're not far behind him for continuing to stand up for his dereliction of...well, everything. (from reading a damned book to helping our country survive a pandemic.)

u/ProcessedMeatMan 15d ago

Bruh. The guy didn't attend briefs. He didn't listen to his advisors. He insisted he knew everything yet studied nothing. He glanced at the board before waddling his stupid ass to the mike, then proceeded to wow us all with his utterly incomprehensible lack of critical thinking by blurting out what he just read.

This shit is not that hard. So smart, me.

u/zuazo5 15d ago

Nice, bruh, now explain AYTU and Cedar-Sinai’s development of UV light treatment for COVID by injecting it directly into the lungs as Trump mentioned.

u/pure_x01 16d ago

You are totally correct and im suprised how many people here exaggerate and use false facts. I'm not a liberal or republican or live in the US. However I think that the questions that was asked by Ttump was both stupid questions and actually potentially dangerous give how many stupid people that gets crazy ideas. No other western European country leader would ever ask those questions and even if they had those questions they wouldn't ask them on national television to not risk anything or even risk sounding very stupid.

Remember also that Trump said that Wind turbines kill all the birds and that they are all made in Germany and that they are environmentally dangerous because of the "fumes" that comes when manufacturing them.

Either he plays a role or he is very stupid.

As mentioned I'm not taking sides with either liberals or Republicans because I think the whole US political landscape is a shitshow. No respect from either side to the other. It's fucked up and hopefully it's possible to repair it somehow. Then you also need to look in to your education and see how it's possible to get people like Trump as a leader of such a large population.

u/zuazo5 15d ago

I agree with part of what you are saying. President Trump said plenty of stupid things. That not withstanding, this entire false narrative of injecting bleach is a prime example of how first, he should have known the media would be looking for any chance to discredit him, and second, there are plenty of people out there that will take anything that is said as a personal order to do something stupid, as evidenced by the number of people who repeat the inject bleach claim, or people following Q-Anon, or people rioting at a Capitol.

He should have raised these questions in private.

I do not agree that the question was stupid when in fact it involved what has become a treatment being used at Cedar-Sinai hospitals after being developed by AYTU.

As for the turbines, obviously they don’t kill ā€œall the birds.ā€ They do, however, wreak havoc on the eagle and hawk populations. Wind turbines are given a special exemption in the US from penalties for the destruction of these birds which happens very frequently with wind turbines.

u/pure_x01 15d ago

I think its important for a president to be factually correct and don't speak like common people because anything he says in public will be held as truth by some. So if he says "kills all the birds" is going to be taken seriously by so many. Just look at the capitol riots. He didn't say that anyone should do it but the way he spoke got idiots to do it.

Personally I think he knows exactly what he is doing. He is trying to come of as a normal hard working American. Talk like them. Act like them. He wants their votes.

I predict that the USA will come to a hard crash. The polarization is going to increase. There are no signs of people in the US becoming more united. This is the beginning of the end of the US. Its going take many years but the country is doomed socially and financially.

Trump had one extremely good point. Bring back business to the US. This was really good to regain balance in the world. Sadly that failed and I don't see any other president wanting to do the same.

Again, I agree with much of what you are writing. The subject of this Nations divide is one my daughter and I often have discussions. I don’t see it coming back together. It has reached the point in this country where most of social media, entertainment, news outlets, educational institutions and even members of Congress, are on a campaign to dehumanize, ostracize, and cancel in any way possible the other half. Many of these entities actually call for violence, and when violence is inflicted on Conservatives, it is applauded and justified on the Left. This bias is evident in the way the riot at the Capitol is being elevated to 9/11 stature while at the same time, the summer long riots that caused $1.9 billion in damages, injured 200 officers, permanently blinded six officers with lasers, killed two officers, killed two dozen civilians, including an 8 year old girl gunned down by BLM activists for crossing their barricade, and damaged numerous federal buildings in DC, has been completely forgotten.

u/pure_x01 15d ago

Agree with your observation. The downfall of the USA is because of the comercialisation of media. Media makes money of fear and hate. Its so obvious. Media is also the eyes and ears of the people. When those eyes and ears of the people don't serve the publics best interest and deliberatly try to polarize the country then people will get corrupted as well. It has been like that for a long time in the US then social media came along and created enormous echochambers that just enhance the fear anf hate. Its a spiral that can only be stopped by huge political cooperation across political boundaries. That is probably not going to happen until Its already to late.

u/zuazo5 15d ago edited 15d ago

My daughter had a different take. According to her, the Nation was lost when achieving victim status became the highest degree of achievement.

As for the divide and it’s repercussions, a debate has long raged in this country over the possession of guns. The Left has generally shunned all connection to guns leaving the bulk of the 350 million firearms, including 100,000 fully automatic machines guns held by private citizens, predominantly in the hands of the Right. This is beginning to change with gun sales continuing to soar, and the increase being attributed to sales of guns to those on the Left who finally figured out they were severely outgunned.

Edit:

This isn’t to suggest that any actual armed conflict would result, but simply to illustrate the unease in the Nation that drives people to seek out a sense of security by possessing an object equal in power to their perceived threats.

u/pure_x01 15d ago

Well in media and social media victimhood is the biggest power and with all kinds of power it gets abused. Its used everywhere on reddit as well. If someone tries it on me then I turn it around so they are they seem like predator which is hard for them to handle because they are not used to that kind of response.

Its kind of depressing through because if the US fall in to chaos then it will bring the whole world with it because all our economies are so intertwined. China will loose Its biggest customer so there will be mass unemployment which will probably lead to starvation and civil war in China which would also mean that the world factory China could collapse and the whole world would go in to deep depression and potentially a world war 3 .

u/zuazo5 15d ago

I have several friends in other countries who express the same sentiments. One poignant statement from a friend in Malaysia summed it up for me when she said, ā€œ We always looked up to the US as what a country could be. Who do we look to now?ā€

Obviously being from Malaysia, the flaws of America are easy to overlook by comparison, but I think our flaws are far outweighed by our good. I apologized if that comes across as a bit arrogant.

As adorable as you two sucking each other off over crying about muh narratives, Trump absolutely implied injecting bleach was a potential solution.

I know you guys love to try to recontextualise and aktually around specific words, but you and everyone else knows what he meant.

You're embarrassing yourselves by pretending otherwise.

Amazing how we got AYTU and Cedar-Sinai to go along with it, and don’t even get me started on how difficult it was to get Chad Hurley and Steve Chen to edit that video.

Amazing how you still think pretending you don’t understand what I mean by ā€˜re-contextualising’ what he said means is a solid plan.

look we actually found an obscure patent that is vaguely related to what he said, thank goodness we can keep pretending he’s not a complete goon even though he obviously had no idea about it and was just improvising random bullshit

Like I said: Embarrassing.

Sorry fellow Repub, I couldn't hear you over my gun shooting black kids with cell phones, bombing brown kids in the middle east, preaching how everyone who doesn't look like me at church is going to hell, telling gay people they can't people be equal citizens, and now threatening vaccine professionals with guns, what were you saying about hate again?

u/zuazo5 16d ago edited 16d ago

Media foments much of that. The best way for those in power to retain power is by keeping the country divided, and media is the tool they use.

What is just as concerning as the hate is the abject cognitive dissonance that accompanies it.

The links I provided prove wrong the narrative the down voters have chosen, but they can’t accept it.
