Donald Trump is the dumbest person to ever hold political office in the history of the United States. He is uneducated, unwilling to learn, egotistical, arrogant, conceited, haughty and vain. He surrounds himself with sycophants whose only job is to say "Yes, Mr. President" at all times. When he is forced to talk to a professional like Dr. Fauci, he tries his best to break them with flattery and manipulation until they eventually support his crazy positions in public.
The latest example:
Trump Wants Research Into Injecting Disinfectant Into Our Veins.

He surrounds himself with sycophants whose only job is to say "Yes, Mr. President" at all times.

So, of course, Trump asks:
"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 very powerful light. And I think you said that hasn't been checked, but you're going test it. 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 test that too. Sounds interesting.
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 in the lungs. It would be interesting to check that. You're going have to use medical doctors with that, but it sounds interesting to me. And so we'll see."
Yes, you heard that right. Donald Trump suggested that injecting disinfectant inside people could be a treatment for the coronavirus.
Donald Trump's experts look on in surprised embarrassment but never publicly challenges Trump's absurd ideas. Thus lending credibility to Donald Trump. But they lose all of their credibility as a professional in their field and their overall status as being an expert.

Finally we have a couple over paid White House so called Reporters calling the Orange Anus a Liar. It only took 4 years to happen,better late than never.

I have never heard anything so ignorant in my life! American people, people everywhere, listen to me! Do not do this! You will die! Look at what is occurring before your very eyes: the president of the United States is suggesting you inject yourselves with poison! Do not listen to him! I cannot work for an idiot like this any longer! I quit! Follow this imbecile at your own peril!
So what would happen? Look at as a sort of penance for your past sins.
