As Kenny Devine says on twitter:Those who laughed and mocked Dettol Trump for suggesting that injecting disinfectant may kill the COVID-19 virus all owe him an apology, he says that he was only being sarcastic.
They're as sharp as bowling balls over there in the US of A.

They were probably just being sarcastic
Trump making his beloved Breitbart looking silly now. This was their take on the Trump comment before he came out with the "sarcastic" comment.
It was a truly memorable presser yesterday. Even Fox baulked at what Trump said about injecting.
One potential positive side effect of all this is that the people who listen to Trump and act on his words are most likely Trump voters. If he keeps offering his gut feel medical advice there won't be many trump voters left come November.

we all know he is stupid, most sensible people have always known it, and those who took a while to realise im sure would now happily admit they were wrong, but im not sure what would actually be worse, the prez seriously suggesting injecting disinfectant, and the prez sarcastically suggesting it, and leaving it out there for 24 hours before letting everyone in on the brilliant joke.Dr Trump now gas-lighting today saying he was being sarcastic to reporters yesterday to see what would happen.
I reckon he's jumped the shark with this one. Comes off as a desperate crazy liar. Any credibility he had is now mud.
America is a laughing stock whilst he's their president.

The USA is never embarrassed by what the rest of the world thinks about them. For the leaders, they don't care, the rest of the country take little or no notice of anything outside their exceptional country. Very insular. Look at the percentage of US citizens who hold a passport, very low because they don't want to see the rest of the world. Which is also why you meet the best of their country when you meet Americans overseas, they are the ones who actually understand there is a whole world outside of the USA.
The only time I went to the USA it was bemusing to see the way their immigration officials are so suspicious of everyone. They have the attitude that you will want to overstay your visa and stay there. Why would I want to live in that hole?
Yep, the USA is still quite likely to vote this idiot in for a second term, even after his gross incompetence over his pandemic.

Very true, they are very ignorant.
I went to the Sydney Olympics, and I can't remember why, but I was in a mini bus at Bondi Beach. I couldn't help ear wigging two American guys who were sitting in front of me. They were talking about Australia, they couldn't believe how good it was here, and didn't realise that there were places like that outside the USA.

True that many are but I can attest there's plenty of Americans who are absolutely embarrassed by their president right now. Certainly some friends of mine are at least.
That said they're now Australian Citizens as of about 5 years ago. Left voluntarily. They hate the way America is going.
Nah, it's irony, subtlety and understatement that they tend to struggle with. Bit like League fans.
Sovereignty is a gimme. What about Telstra? At the end of the day they could already report on triangulation of people's mobiles on their network to a level that could determine who has been in proximity to someone with the lergy.
