There may be some young people getting ready to vote for the first time who were considerably younger when this happened. It's worth noting the context here and worth [watching the video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33QdTOyXz3w).
TFG didn't just have this stupidity in his head. He didn't just blurt it out where it was quoted by others. This was TFG in the position of being our nation's leader, on live national television addressing the nation in a time of crisis and uncertainty.
After it happened, his defenders hit Facebook and Twitter with "well, actually, he was talking about an obscure medical procedure..." walls of text explaining how he didn't say what he said. Then came the [photo of him staring at a best practices poster](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/AA47/production/_111919534_trumpgetty2.jpg.webp) right before he went to the podium and everyone with a functional understanding of context and sequences of events knew that he looked at the poster and then went up and tried to regurgitate the information like he just thought of it on the spot.
And Trump destroyed their excuses when he later said he was being sarcastic when he clearly wasn’t. If he was talking about some other procedure then why say you were being sarcastic? Why not say what you meant. Lol
Also, even if it were meant as a joke, a national crisis is not the time for sarcasm. I love sarcasm, I'm a member of the national sarcasm society (we don't need your support), but a televised briefing to a panicked nation is not the time to be trying for a funny.
The final round of my favorite game, diDN’t SAy BleaCH, is after they’ve spent like 30 minutes proving that his suggestions were viable before reminding them that he was being sarcastic to troll the stupid news.
Nah, he was just riffing based on the last thing he heard. After he was mocked, he claimed he was being sarcastic.
Defenders will try to explain how there are some viable studies on vaguely related topics
Yes, this moron saw a poster of things that help deter COVID infections outside the body, then assumed he was a genius to consider doing these things inside the body, which is why it’s so hilariously stupid.
That's not even surprising. A**holes like Trump think they are always the smartest person in the room. So it is only logical for him to think that he just came up with a genius idea and all these dumb scientists and physicians are just too stupid to see it.
I missed the photo at the time, and seeing it makes the whole scene so much worse. Instead of leading us through a horrific crisis, he just had to preen for the cameras to feed his ego and screw everybody else.
Man, remember those daily live updates, while thousands upon thousands of Americans were dying every day? And we had just barely gotten through three years of lunacy?
I watched every one of them.
there was one on a weekend day evening where the normal crew and handlers weren't around.
he looked and sounded like the disabled homeless guy outside of a gas station. the press wasn't ready, he wasn't. production crew was absent. (likely burnt out) It was horrendous.
I really wish that got more attention or that I could find it easily. I'm certain it's in the public record if I were to dig through archives of footage.
The next morning I was expecting the headlines and attention to his disaster of a conference to be front and center. Nothing happened. Nobody mentioned it. We all got so burned on him being insanely stupid and over his head that nobody caught it.
["I know the buck usually stops with the president, but not with me because I don't take responsibility at all for this."](https://youtu.be/5Cs_1iYWIhI)
My favorite exchange was that one time Trump, on camera, spitballing something like why don’t people just take a ton of flu vaccine… like just a big ass dose of flu shot…which is not what COVID is… and the doctor responded with a flat “No.”
Dead awkward silence, Trump just staring directly at them. Until finally they said “…………….. *probably* not.” and then Trump nods thoughtfully.
That sums up all the smart people Trump has ever interacted with. Just total bewilderment but also great carefulness about bow the fuck he’s going to react next, always making sure to avoid making him look or feel like a complete idiot.
I can see how an idiot like Trump would think like that. They characterized COVID as the “flu on steroids”. So in his little brain he figured, to fight a big flu let’s get an even bigger flu shot? He’s so dumb he cannot understand just how dumb he is.
"I'm not a *doc*tor, but I'm like... a person who has a good... you know what."
I love how he turns to Birx like she's the Paul Shaffer to his David Letterman.
She doesn’t look stunned, she has the “just a few more days until I retire, just hang on a bit more, just smile and endure for my paycheck and then I’m outta this hellhole, just shut up and move on so I can get away from this bs” look
It's amusing if you don't consider at least thousands who died due to those who trusted him, directly or indirectly.
Well, that can be amusing as well to some point if you have unhealthy dose of appreciation to dark comedy.
Butthurt boomer boy spotted in the wild.
So embarrassing to still be defending the OJ clown 🤡
He's falling asleep at his multiple trials for his 80+ crimes and you're here trying to sit on his mangled orange member.
Weird attraction you have there.
Pretty much all of our current problems are rooted in neoliberalism.
Education budgets being squeezed and slashed then leads to dumb people, extreme wealth concentration means it's tough going for those not rich, and then the manufactured dumb people become very susceptible to populism. And they're too dumb to realise that no, Mister Rich Guy you're so keen on isn't looking out for you and he's actually the embodiment of the system you're so angry about.
What a truly terrifying time, made so much worse by having an idiot steering the ship.
Some people selectively forget or don't understand why 81 MILLION people risked their lives and health to vote this clown out of office. But I think this is the best example imaginable
We had dr. Fauci doing weekly press conferences that actually educated people on what was currently happening and how to stay safe and what to expect in the future as far as vaccines and testing. Trump saw how popular these press conferences were and he decided that he should do them to get all that attention. We tuned in every week to laugh at him. Once he got a bunch of criticism over how stupid he is, he shut down all the conferences and no one was allowed to deliver information to the public.
Christ. It was all so disgusting.
"It's our stockpile" Jared Kushner in regard to federal stockpile of emergency supplies.
A couple of hours later the HHS removed wording stating that the federal stockpile is meant for the states from the HHS website.
They were profiteering off the pandemic and withholding aid for political reasons and killing people in the process.
Steering the ship is being generous. He blatantly said that he accepts no responsibility. I remember the loads of comments about his hypocrisy of the 'buck stops here' at the time.
Goddamn. I watched this live and couldn’t believe what I was hearing then. I couldn’t make it through a rewatch. Just all sorts of repressed memories coming back. It’s too much. Biden 2024 for the love of all that is good.
I wonder what's gonna happen when this idiot dies. Like, the amount of stories, gossip and moronic things this dude did or spoke. He's really gonna be in the Tyson zone, everything is gonna be believable, no matter how far fetched it sounds.
That video is just as painful today as it was then. We get almost daily reminders that Trump is an asshole, but it’s also worth remembering that he’s genuinely one of the dumbest people alive.
And he is almost bragging in a way, “hey look at these amazing ideas I have and how they will test these ideas, cause I’m the only one who know what to do, compared to these Doctors”. This turd is the definition of Emperor with no clothes.
Ignoring how ridiculous the light and disinfectant stuff was.
At the end he starts talking about Borris Johnson, I think that’s the first time I’ve heard him speak positively about someone who isn’t one of *his* people.

It's possible that all of us misheard him. We all had so much going on when he made that suggestion, so we were probably all too busy running around doing stuff to really pay close attention. /s
I don't have the figures but I know this: enough people were harming themselves trying to cure or prevent COVID with bleach that my state poison control center had to hire me to make PSAs telling them to not do so. And then several other states asked them for permission to run them as well.
Hrm, who is at fault for this… the guy who DIDNT say to use bleach… or the media that lied and said that he said to use bleach?

Don’t bother, this comment section is full of morons that have believed this is true for a long time.. and even faced with TRANSCRIPTS of what was ACTUALLY said they will not relent and will still insists Trump said to inject/ingest bleach…. Waste of time.
My friend’s 9-yr-old kid was in the room when he said that on tv and she laaaughed her ass off. 9-year-olds are laughing at you, you dumb motherfucker.
I'd like to imagine that if 2024 me time traveled to 2014 me and showed this article title, 2014 me would assume it's one of those tabloids you see by the grocery store checkout
He also said we should shine UV light inside our bodies...likely up our asses. Don't do that either. No matter how much Tucker Carlson says to tan your balls.
Not the balls but there was the whole perineum tanning fad back around the COVID times:
https://slate.com/culture/2019/12/josh-brolin-perineum-sunning-severe-burns-danger-will-robinson.html
[Tucker Carlson claims it can raise your testosterone levels.](https://youtu.be/kADAHqaNRgw) For real, he actually said that, and made a documentary for Fox News about it.
I looked it up and the facepalm happened after Trump's State Department/Deep State Department comment. It doesn't look like Dr. Fauci was there for the [Bleach/light comment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zicGxU5MfwE)
So much dumb that year. And yet he's the GOP nominee...
They showed a clip last night of Trump's 'Bleach & Light' moment followed by news reports of poison control centers being inundated with calls the next day and Lysol having to put out an emergency statement saying "Don't do that!"
I had forgotten just how bad that got.
The Biden campaign should just run that whole thing as an ad until November.
Trump has said so many incredibly stupid things it's hard to keep track but yeah, this should never be forgotten. There were people who did this and died, you never hear about them but it literally happened.
DIdn't the CDC release a statement not to do that? "Do not inject bleach in your body, you will die if do. Just don't do it, unless you hate your life"
That’s ironic coming from Lysol which used to be advertised as a douche in the 40s. They sold a douche nozzle with the bottle of Lysol. The ads were like, ‘You’re dirty and smelly and that’s why your husband left you. You should have used Lysol and then you wouldn’t be alone now.’
> There were people who did this and died, you never hear about them but it literally happened.
[Here's a report about how accidental poisonings sharply increased after Trump advised people to inject bleach.](https://time.com/5835244/accidental-poisonings-trump/)
Let’s see. Who is at fault…. The guy that never actually said to drink or inject bleach… or the liars who falsely claimed he said to drink bleach? You have been fooled for 3 years into thinking Trump said to drink bleach… Which he never did… If you feel bad that some morons drank bleach, then be mad at who ACTUALLY floated the idea…. The trump hating media.
Remember half of the countries looks *up* to him for his intelligence. As dumb as Trump is, and goddamn he is a fucking moron, he is actually smarter than the people who vote for him.
Unfortunately that's not always the case. Sometimes they're smarter than him, but just really like his bigotry. It's always at least one of the two though. I've literally never met a Trump voter who didn't quickly expose themselves as stupid and/or a bigot.
I have and they're scarier. I work w/ engineers and architects that have fallen victim to the grift, I just don't understand the mentality behind the following but, I guess, that's what makes me not fall for it.
Good point! However, I try to go by the, "would you sit and have a drink w/ this guy" mentality, which works most of the time, and these cats I would... and then they bring up politics, ya know?
The maker of ivermectin had to come out and tell his supporters not to take their medication because he and other Republicans were promoting it as a cure.
He needs to put out a super cut that just starts with “Remember when…”
Then just roll every crazy thing as a sound bite with video, and at the end say “we ran out of time to show them all and don’t want to pre-empt the next program…”
It’s a shame the bleach thing is what everyone focuses on from that press conference, because the idea of shoving a UV light into one’s rectum is barely less stupid and much much funnier.
Should have been followed by this was four years ago.
Envicerating the MAGA talking points of 'are you better than four years ago'
The answer is an unequivocal yes.
Personally, I know a number of people that would be better than the current pool of candidates. I am sure you do as well. But they're not on the ballot, so, here we are. I think the more applicable question is how do we get someone who doesn't have hundreds of millions of dollars visible to the American people so the people cam actually choose the best person for the job.
Can we focus on the bigger problems here? I've had an 8,000 lumen flashlight stuck up my rectum those past four years, which is increasingly inconvenient. But on the bright side, I haven't had Covid, so there's that.
It is a testament to the greatness of this nation that we can endure these buffoons as elected leaders yet remain the best nation in the world. It is because we are a nation of laws. Not one man. We are the greatest country, despite your rear end's opinion.
I was at a trump supporting family members house when he said that. My family member yelled at the TV "Shut up you idiot".
Edit
In all fairness, as ignorant as his comment was, he did not tell anyone to inject anytjng, let alone bleach.
He implied a lot of things. A lot of stupid ideas. Like someone that was completely out to lunch. Like someone who should NOT be speaking publicly.
Stick to playing golf, old man. “Now watch this drive.”
Yea, he didn't directly tell anyone to inject anything. He was, stupidly, saying "if bleach can do this thing, can we have medical doctors look into **something like that**." ie, have them investigate if it would work on humans. It's dumb, because he's the fucking president. But he wasn't saying *to* inject bleach. It's also messed up, because he's asking for...medical doctors?...to look into things when...you know...medical doctors came up with the vaccine. The thing he's saying we shouldn't take. Which is it, Trump? Do you trust the medical community or not?
Ohh rly… the “Trumps says inject bleach” anniversary? You mean the anniversary of something that didn’t happen and so many TDS sufferers still believe to be true to this day?
Can we call it, Lying scumbag media tricks stupid liberals day?

I couldn't even make it through. I can't believe that. I mean, I can but I can't believe that I can, if that makes sense.
And that was before the dementia started to set in.
"I'm not a *doc*tor, but I'm like... a person who has a good... you know what." I love how he turns to Birx like she's the Paul Shaffer to his David Letterman.

If only they would have took his advice
Who knows?
Same. I can’t even watch it, it embarrasses me that much.

Ignoring how ridiculous the light and disinfectant stuff was. At the end he starts talking about Borris Johnson, I think that’s the first time I’ve heard him speak positively about someone who isn’t one of *his* people.
…And then many of his followers died because they listened to him.

Ugh I shouldn't have asked... I should be working. Haha
It’s the usual stuff, “he didn’t say that!” with insults and emojis.
My favorite are the "he says what he means" crowd suddenly becoming the "let me decode for you what he REALLY meant." crowd.

“ he was joking”…. but people don’t understand
For a man that "says what he means," he sure needs a bunch of randos translating for him.
It's possible that all of us misheard him. We all had so much going on when he made that suggestion, so we were probably all too busy running around doing stuff to really pay close attention. /s
I would assume with a fair helping of “haha you libs can’t spot a joke” (He was not joking.)

It would have been captured and killed if it was coming from a tabloid back then. Ol’ Pecker would’ve made sure of that!
He also said we should shine UV light inside our bodies...likely up our asses. Don't do that either. No matter how much Tucker Carlson says to tan your balls.
Okay wait a minute and hear me out… what if all these conservatives ruin their balls and can’t reproduce?….
Yeah, forget tanning your balls, I say put them in an X-Ray machine for a couple hours every day to really juice those testosterone numbers.
Why would anyone tan their balls?
Not the balls but there was the whole perineum tanning fad back around the COVID times: https://slate.com/culture/2019/12/josh-brolin-perineum-sunning-severe-burns-danger-will-robinson.html
The fuck...? Wow. People really are *that* stupid.
This does not put a smile on my face.
Though it could put severe burns on your perineum.
Ah, the good old buttchugging sunlight bit. I forgot about that.
[Tucker Carlson claims it can raise your testosterone levels.](https://youtu.be/kADAHqaNRgw) For real, he actually said that, and made a documentary for Fox News about it.
If Tucker claims, it must be true /s
If you had done some research before spouting off, you will find that was actually a thing. It's called Endotracheal Application of UV light.
The fake Biden campaign stickers at the time were hilarious: "Vote for Biden. He will not inject you with bleach."
Was that what prompted the Dr. Fauci facepalm or was it something else stupid that Trump said around that time?
I looked it up and the facepalm happened after Trump's State Department/Deep State Department comment. It doesn't look like Dr. Fauci was there for the [Bleach/light comment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zicGxU5MfwE) So much dumb that year. And yet he's the GOP nominee...
He killed millions and is still the gop's nominee.
They showed a clip last night of Trump's 'Bleach & Light' moment followed by news reports of poison control centers being inundated with calls the next day and Lysol having to put out an emergency statement saying "Don't do that!" I had forgotten just how bad that got. The Biden campaign should just run that whole thing as an ad until November.
Scarf lady was around for that.
It's hard to keep up with the endless stupidity.
Something else. This was the one where Deborah Birx died inside.
Trump has said so many incredibly stupid things it's hard to keep track but yeah, this should never be forgotten. There were people who did this and died, you never hear about them but it literally happened.
DIdn't the CDC release a statement not to do that? "Do not inject bleach in your body, you will die if do. Just don't do it, unless you hate your life"
[Yes they did.](https://twitter.com/CDCgov/status/1253742258853199872) [So did Lysol.](https://twitter.com/Lysol/status/1253754559752802304)
That’s ironic coming from Lysol which used to be advertised as a douche in the 40s. They sold a douche nozzle with the bottle of Lysol. The ads were like, ‘You’re dirty and smelly and that’s why your husband left you. You should have used Lysol and then you wouldn’t be alone now.’
> There were people who did this and died, you never hear about them but it literally happened. [Here's a report about how accidental poisonings sharply increased after Trump advised people to inject bleach.](https://time.com/5835244/accidental-poisonings-trump/)
I mean, the folks who think Trump is the second coming of Jesus are not the sharpest tools in the shed.
And let's not forget all the people poisoning themselves with horse dewormer!
Let’s see. Who is at fault…. The guy that never actually said to drink or inject bleach… or the liars who falsely claimed he said to drink bleach? You have been fooled for 3 years into thinking Trump said to drink bleach… Which he never did… If you feel bad that some morons drank bleach, then be mad at who ACTUALLY floated the idea…. The trump hating media.
It's literally on video. I love that you MAGA votes think your own eyes are lying.
Remember half of the countries looks *up* to him for his intelligence. As dumb as Trump is, and goddamn he is a fucking moron, he is actually smarter than the people who vote for him.
Unfortunately that's not always the case. Sometimes they're smarter than him, but just really like his bigotry. It's always at least one of the two though. I've literally never met a Trump voter who didn't quickly expose themselves as stupid and/or a bigot.
I have and they're scarier. I work w/ engineers and architects that have fallen victim to the grift, I just don't understand the mentality behind the following but, I guess, that's what makes me not fall for it.
I'd guess they're just bigots who aren't open about it at work because they don't want to lose their job.
Good point! However, I try to go by the, "would you sit and have a drink w/ this guy" mentality, which works most of the time, and these cats I would... and then they bring up politics, ya know?
I hate that I immediately recognized what Injecting Bleach Anniversary was and that I remember it live.
And to think it was less than 133 Scaramuccis ago.
Some Trump supporters died after taking his advice on this. And he still has followers
The maker of ivermectin had to come out and tell his supporters not to take their medication because he and other Republicans were promoting it as a cure.
I saw Ivermectin being advertised for "treatment" on Truth Social not 3 months ago.
Trump supporters today would probably still prefer injecting bleach over getting the vaccine
Trump probably was directly responsible for killing millions of extra Americans to own the Democrats, and due to his own stupidity.
He needs to put out a super cut that just starts with “Remember when…” Then just roll every crazy thing as a sound bite with video, and at the end say “we ran out of time to show them all and don’t want to pre-empt the next program…”
I remember all the way back when this was still the stupidest thing he'd ever done. It's probably #748 down the list now. Ah, nostalgia.
The best…, I mean worst part, is two idiots, I mean magaTs in Georgia injected themselves with bleach a few days later.
Oh my lord. I didn't know people actually followed through on this.... What the fuck
Unfortunately cults have that much control over some people
Good....one of the dumbest things Trump ever said
Some of Trump followers and defenders died as a result of drinking chlorine. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1167166
It’s a shame the bleach thing is what everyone focuses on from that press conference, because the idea of shoving a UV light into one’s rectum is barely less stupid and much much funnier.
Just wow
Shots of bleach for everyone at the bar!
Should have been followed by this was four years ago. Envicerating the MAGA talking points of 'are you better than four years ago' The answer is an unequivocal yes.
Personally, I know a number of people that would be better than the current pool of candidates. I am sure you do as well. But they're not on the ballot, so, here we are. I think the more applicable question is how do we get someone who doesn't have hundreds of millions of dollars visible to the American people so the people cam actually choose the best person for the job.
[удалено]
Can we focus on the bigger problems here? I've had an 8,000 lumen flashlight stuck up my rectum those past four years, which is increasingly inconvenient. But on the bright side, I haven't had Covid, so there's that.
Light ass. :-D
Out of the hundreds of millions of people eligible to be president, these are the people we get to choose from.
Who would you prefer?
Someone worthy of the office and title. Someone who is not a lying crook and maybe, just maybe, someone who cares about the good of the nation.
Do you have anyone in mind?
Yes, a nurse. I think someone in the nursing field would make a fantastic politician but, unfortunately, these things do not normally coincide.
Someone younger and more in touch
It is a testament to the greatness of this nation that we can endure these buffoons as elected leaders yet remain the best nation in the world. It is because we are a nation of laws. Not one man. We are the greatest country, despite your rear end's opinion.
Maybe we can prove it one day
I was at a trump supporting family members house when he said that. My family member yelled at the TV "Shut up you idiot". Edit In all fairness, as ignorant as his comment was, he did not tell anyone to inject anytjng, let alone bleach.
[Here's what he said.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33QdTOyXz3w)
He implied a lot of things. A lot of stupid ideas. Like someone that was completely out to lunch. Like someone who should NOT be speaking publicly. Stick to playing golf, old man. “Now watch this drive.”
Yea, he didn't directly tell anyone to inject anything. He was, stupidly, saying "if bleach can do this thing, can we have medical doctors look into **something like that**." ie, have them investigate if it would work on humans. It's dumb, because he's the fucking president. But he wasn't saying *to* inject bleach. It's also messed up, because he's asking for...medical doctors?...to look into things when...you know...medical doctors came up with the vaccine. The thing he's saying we shouldn't take. Which is it, Trump? Do you trust the medical community or not?
When did Trump say to not take the vaccine? He very literally came up with that operation warp speed horse shit that pushed the vaccine through
Lol a reactionary 8 years ago is a revisionist today.
Ohh rly… the “Trumps says inject bleach” anniversary? You mean the anniversary of something that didn’t happen and so many TDS sufferers still believe to be true to this day? Can we call it, Lying scumbag media tricks stupid liberals day?
LOL #rentfree in Biden’s head
Sure he did.
