    Are you voting for a guy who doesn't understand why boat batteries don't electrocute people because his uncle taught at MIT?

    Find me a direct clip when he said that and while you’re at it, the clip about the drinking bleach thingy with Covid. These are the real cheap fakes. If you did not see a clear distinction between Trump and Biden on that debate stage then by all means carry on if that will make you feel better. I know that most of the black people in my circle of friends I have talked to lately will all be voting for Trump. I am astounded because the majority of them are lifelong Dems, and some I will never even talk politics with because I wanted to keep the friendships.

    He never said to drink bleach, merely to inject disinfectant. However, his followers were not quite as discerning or astute as you.

    yeah, well . . . not really

    Fact-checking Biden’s high-stakes ABC interview

    Trump and bleach

    Biden repeated his familiar claim that Trump “is a guy who told us to put bleach in our arms to deal with Covid.”

    Facts First: Biden’s claim is misleading. Trump never portrayed his ill-informed and widely denounced musings about using disinfectants to address Covid-19 as advice to Americans. Rather, Trump was talking about the possibility of scientists conducting tests of this idea.

    Trump made his remarks, at a press briefing in April 2020 after Bill Bryan, the acting undersecretary of science and technology for the Department of Homeland Security, outlined tests in which he said sunlight or disinfectants like bleach and isopropyl alcohol quickly killed the coronavirus on surfaces and in saliva.

    When Trump jumped shortly afterward to the dangerous idea of injecting disinfectants inside people’s bodies, he said: “And is there a way we 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 that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So we’ll see.”

    Trump’s comments were slammed by medical experts as highly dangerous, and they prompted urgent warnings from public health authorities and companies that sell household disinfectants. But he never actually said he was suggesting citizens go and use such products.
    When you've lost CNN on the bleach thing . . . well you know you must be dealing with a classic Russian information operation

    @CrixusTheUndefeatedGaul was asking for an actual clip about Trump talking about MIT and boat batteries.

    Yes it is funny until you realize this is a man who was president and could well be president again.

    he uses the word "injection." I don't see where he advised anyone to "self-inject" themselves with anything. We do not assume that people who receive chemotherapy are self-injecting . . . not sure what the point is here in continuing to flog the dead horse by insisting that Trump was telling people to self-inject themselves with bleach, disinfectant, or anything else.

    There's fact checking, and then there's just being pedantic. I watched the clip. I read the transcript. What he said was close enough for horseshoes and hand grenades, and the resulting rash of poisonings was not a surprise.

    "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..."

    When you're the President your words matter. If I'm gonna **** on Biden for slurring his words and forgetting things then I'm gonna **** on Trump for haphazardly bumbling through nonsense to the point of creating a public health hazard.

    Is there anything more cringe than listening to an unaccomplished person who was lifted into their position by DEI speak to a crowd?
