Much as I hate defending our Fearless Leader, I have to point out that he never actually literally suggested injecting bleach into yourself to kill the coronavirus. he DID say something incredibly stupid – I wouldn’t take that away from him. But not THAT stupid. If you look at the transcript from the April 23 news conference, you have Trump introducing William N. Bryan, leader of the Science and Technology Directorate at the Department of Homeland Security, who talked about recent findings about fighting the virus: > [@](#): > > If you look at the fourth line, you inject summer – the sunlight into that. You inject UV rays into that. The same effects on line two – as 70 to 35 degrees with 80 percent humidity on the surface. And look at line four, but now you **INJECT** the sun. The half-life goes from six hours to two minutes. That’s how much of an impact UV rays has on the virus. > > … > > We’re also testing disinfectants readily available. We’ve tested bleach, we’ve tested isopropyl alcohol on the virus, specifically in saliva or in respiratory fluids. And I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes; isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30 seconds, and that’s with no manipulation, no rubbing – just spraying it on and letting it go. You rub it and it goes away even faster. We’re also looking at other disinfectants, specifically looking at the COVID-19 virus in saliva. (My Bolding) He unfortunately used that word “Inject”, just as an energetic term for “use”. After he speaks,Trump takes over. He’s clearlyy absorbed the idea of ultraviolet light killing the virus, and of disinfectants like isopropyl alcohol being effective, and he remembered the idea of “injection”, and comes up with this: > [@](#): > > Thank you very much. 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 – and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, **supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that too. It sounds interesting.** > > … > > Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it 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. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds – it sounds interesting to me. > > So we’ll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute, that’s – that’s pretty powerful. He didn’t literally say to inject disifectants, specifically bleach. Og knows how he’d inject ultraviolet light into the body. Maybe he saw the _Underworld_ movies and thinks UV Bullets exist. > **[Ultraviolet Ammunition](https://underworld.fandom.com/wiki/Ultraviolet_Ammunition)** > > Ultraviolet ammunition is a type of bullet used by Lycans to kill Vampires. They are hollow bullets filled with a special irradiated fluid that emits ultraviolet light. The bullets first appear when the Lycan Trix uses them to kill the Vampire Rigel.... I have to agree that the idea of ultraviolet killing the virus IS pretty powerful – heck, it’s my present business. Light (not just UV, although that’s the most powerful range) kills micro-organisms by a number of mechanisms, something that has been known for well over a century. But, aside from some limited applications with angioplasty and fiberoptics, I don’t know of anyone who’s suggesting injecting UV light into the body. Or bleach. One of the reporters explicitly verbalized this, putting it in the negative: > [@](#): > > But I – just, can I ask about – the President mentioned the idea of cleaners, like bleach and isopropyl alcohol you mentioned. There’s no scenario that that could be injected into a person, is there? I mean To which Trump, cutting off Bryan, said: > [@](#): > > It wouldn’t be through injection. We’re talking about through almost a cleaning, sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work. But it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object. So Trump explicitly denied that anyone would be injecting bleach into the body. Of course, as we’ve seen, what he says at one moment can be contradicted the next. But he hasn’t suggested putting bleach into anyone’s veins. Yet. > **[Transcript - Press Conference: Donald Trump Holds the Daily Coronavirus...](https://factba.se/transcript/donald-trump-press-conference-coronavirus-briefing-april-23-2020)** > > Press Conference: Donald Trump Holds the Daily Coronavirus Pandemic Briefing - April 23, 2020 ---

His language prompted a reporter to ask the POTUS (!) if he was actually promoting injecting bleach. The clip I saw gave me that impression, too. Close enough. If he’s really promoting using bleach to disinfect things, that’s hardly worth wasting time during a press conference to announce. Sure, they did some research on it, but Clorox wipes and bleach sold out a month ago. People already know this. ---
