Spitballing about possible research avenues isn't the same as presenting self harm as a government recommended treatment. One is foolish in the given setting, the other is malicious.
A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. - James Madison.

I enjoyed his recent revelation about the Pentagons new "super-duper" missile. It will go well with America's "tippy top" nuclear arsenal.

Do you hear yourself?

You are splitting hairs were there are none.

"Spitballing research ideas" is no excuse for being an idiot. Elsewise, he could propose research into the effect of deep fried cheese burgers, or heroin, or drinking gasoline, as possible Covid cures.

You cannot also cover for him by claiming that he was not suggesting it. He is the PRESIDENT giving what is supposed to be an informational briefing. Of course people will see him "spitballing" and wonder if he might be on to something.
This is just commons sense.

I have a feeling that Trump's discussion about the missile was like Aladeen's in The Dictator.

Trump: So Mark, you mind explaining why the missile top is so damn round?

Esper: Mr. Trump, with all due respect, why does it matter?

Trump: Well, if we fire this thing from New York at Berlin, and it has a round head, it'll just bounce back at us and blow New York to shreads.

Esper: Wait, Mr. President, I have so many questions.

Trump: Ew, I don't like that, but do go ahead.

Esper: First off, we don't fire nuclear missiles from major cities. The launch sites are out in the heartland. Did no one tell you that? And second, the shape of the head doesn't matter. It doesn't even hit the ground when it detonates. Why would that matter? And why would we fire it at Berlin?

Trump: Okay I have questions. #1 why don't we launch from New York so millions and millions of people can watch this thing take off? And secondly, what kind of missile doesn't hit the ground? You shoot it, it sticks in the ground with a pointy head and bing, they're dead. And why would we not nuclear bomb Berlin? You know the Germans have been so mean and nasty to me, especially Angela Merkel. Didn't they do the holocaust anyhow? What a bunch of mean nasty people. They would kill my daughter cause she's Jewish. Fuck them, I just wanna blow some of them up.

Esper: Mr. President, you can't-

Trump: Shut your mouth four eyes! And get the hell out of here before your whiney bitching makes me angrier.

It isn't misinformation, it is pointing out that Trump endorsed even the thought of injecting disinfectants to even test if it would ""cure"" the virus.

If we drew a venn diagram and one circle was Taiwan and the other was America, the circles wouldn't even touch. They would be a mile apart. You would have to turn all the way around from one circle to see the other off in the distance. Not just with the virus response but with almost everything.

I'm always amused by the people who say 'he wasn't saying to do it, he was asking if it could be looked into!'.

We don't need to 'look into' injecting disinfectants or blasting the human body with sunlight from the inside out. To be effective in purging a virus, both would have to be lethal. One might as well ask if we should 'look into' curing the virus by shooting infected areas with bullets.

Yes, this is so far off recommendations that it is beyond ridiculous. It should be ather well known that this disease is known to effect the blood vessels. That Healthy young adults are dying of blood related issues because of this disease. And what is one of the side effect of hydroxychloroquine....yeah such a great idea.
