Trump 'can't imagine why' US disinfectant calls spiked
[quote]
President Donald Trump has said he "can't imagine why" US hotline calls about disinfectant have risen after he suggested injecting the substance to treat coronavirus.
The governors of Michigan and Maryland on Sunday blamed the president for the spike in such calls.
Following heavy criticism from medical professionals, Mr Trump said his remarks were made sarcastically.
Disinfectants are hazardous substances and can be poisonous if ingested.
During Monday's Covid-19 news conference, a reporter noted that the state of Maryland's emergency hotline had received hundreds of calls in recent days seeking guidance about Mr Trump's comments.
"I can't imagine why," the president said, moving quickly on. "I can't imagine that."
When asked whether he took responsibility at all for the increase in calls, Mr Trump replied: "No, I don't."

It's not exactly unexpected, (either the spike in calls to emergency rooms or the denial of responsibility) the real question is what was he thinking when he decided to make the comment at the podium in the press room. Didn't anyone explain the influence that position actually has?

Trump reminds me of nothing so much as a forlorn-looking child found standing in the kitchen amidst the shattered remains of the biscuit crock who insists, 'I didn't do it.'

Looking to Trump for medical advice is about as pointless as looking to the Pope for advice on finding your girlfriend's G-spot.....

In the meantime Pence has visited the Mayo Clinic, a bastion of modern American medicine, and didn't wear a mask.
His excuse? He wanted "to look at the staff eye to eye".
Have you looked at the masks, you stupid motherfucker? They cover your mouth and nose.
Stupid people justifying ignorant actions with obvious lies/excuses while endangering themselves and others.
