Trump was joking with Fauci and Birx when he asked them to find a way to sanitize our lungs as easily as our hands. The media took this way out of context as per usual.

lol
for someone whose supposed appeal is 'he tells it like it is', his supporters sure have to do a lot of exhausting mental gymnastics to explain away that he very often doesn't mean what he says.

Now that’s fake news. Time to put the Kool-Aid down fella.
People aren’t allowed to joke around a bit ? It was so obvious to anyone who isn’t a hater. Sad world you live in.
Out of state voters do it by mail. What’s so hard to understand about that ? Both parties have said in the past that voting by mail could lead to fraud. Mail isn’t reliable. Thousands of stimulus cheques were just mailed to dead people and to wrong addresses. Why would the voting ballots be different ? Mail can be intercepted, lost, stolen or arrive too late. Ballots can be duplicated or forged. A Democrat from Maryland just voted seven times on legislation in Congress. Can’t make this stuff up.So the man who has proven he can't live without twitter is trying to rescind a law ( section 320 ) that would basically make twitter libel for everything he posts? Because twitter called into question Trumps claim that voting by mail will lead to fraud? Voting by mail, which is exactly how Trump voted in the 2016 election.
You can't make this stuff up.

Nobody in their right mind thinks he was joking. He made up that he was being 'sarcastic' the next day and not 1 Trump lover claimed he was 'joking' until after that.
If he says 'jump' you say 'how high'.
Interesting science about U/V rays and the impact on the body. Viruses do react to certain frequencies. Tesla was studying that. Other than that, I don’t see where Trump was recommending that people inject disinfectant into their lungs. He was challenging the doctors to look into “out of the box” treatments.

A little bit of both. Trump likes to lighten the mood occasionally and talk off the record. He’s not a politician. Gets him into trouble with the left wing media who are ready to pounce on every word.

Sun Wah supermarket on King St has Yinba gel hand sanitizer. $8.99 for a 500 ml pump bottle. 75% ethanol. It is on the list of Health Canada approved sanitizers.

I'm pleasantly surprised Senate majority leader McConnell has been vocal about the importance of wearing masks. Making this a non political issue is crucial for safe reopenings in the US.

Here's a transcript of Trump's exact words, and I've bolded the section where he specifically mentions "disinfectant" but left the rest in for context:
"So I asked Bill a question some of you are thinking of if you're into that world, which I find to be pretty interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said, that hasn't been checked but you're gonna test it. And then I said, supposing it brought the light inside the body, which you can either do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're gonna test that too, sounds interesting. And I then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute, and is there a way you can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it'd be interesting to check that. So you're going to have to use medical doctors, but it sounds interesting to me, so we'll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it goes in one minute, that's pretty powerful."
Nowhere does he mention cleaning products and nowhere does he suggest anyone "should inject themselves".
You can see he says "I'd be interesting to check that ... it sounds interesting to me, so we'll see."
I mean, it's rather ridiculous on its face, but it isn't "people should go drink bleach" as the media spun it. And I think this is a problem that the media exaggerates things that need no exaggeration, and thereby give an opening for blind Trump supporters (or those who just don't like the media) to say "see the media is lying again." And by repeating the media's distortion of what was actually said, you're never going to convince anyone what Trump said was dumb or wrong.
Just go with what he actually said. It's pretty cringeworthy to wonder out loud "is there a way that you can do something like that (disinfecting in one minute) by injection inside, or almost a cleaning." I'm not an expert in biology but that sounds dumb. But that's also part of Trump's schtick as far as I can tell, just speaking a lot of nonsense. I have to admit that in a way it is vaguely endearing, I can see how it sucks some people in. He's an entertainer and he somehow pulls it off. Doesn't make it smart to say; but I think the media is it's own worst enemy by melting down at every thing the man says.

3 new cases in New Brunswick related to the Quebec visit, not Manitoba.
