Do not let the Trump cult gaslight you & claim Trump didn't speculate about #InjectingDisinfectants during yesterday's Coronavirus briefing (4/23/2020). Watch on @cspan. I'll transcribe the remarks in question in this thread. DON'T #InjectDisinfectant

CONTEXT: Bill Bryan, Acting Under Secretary for Science and Technology at Department of Homeland Security presented how various substances kill Coronavirus COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) from saliva on surfaces.
Per Bryan's presentation at the 20 minute mark, humidity, sunlight, bleach & alcohol all shorten the half-life of the virus (from respiration & saliva droplets) present in the air and on surfacess (think counters, doorknobs).
Trump returned to the podium at the 26:20 mark and steered the ship of state to crazytown.

For visually impaired readers, I will break Trump's spew into tweets, because the above transcript is just a screenshot of a Word document, which I understand isn't accessible.

Each of the numbered tweets below is a direct, sequential quote of Trump.
1. So I asked Bill a question that probably some of you are thinking of, if you're totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous -- whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful -- light.
2. And I think you said, that hasn't been checked, but you're going to test it. And then I said: supposing you brought the light inside of the body -- which you can do -- either through the skin or in some other way.
3. And I think you said you're gonna test that, too. Sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, that knocks it out in a minute -- one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning?
4. 'Cause, you see, it gets in the lungs, and does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that. So that -- you're gonna have to use medical doctors, right?
5. 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 is pretty powerful.
