USA reached 50,000 deaths yesterday and he is making sarcastic jokes?

So either he really thought you can drink lysol to stop covid or he was making jokes with 50,000 dead!

I hope the press tears him up today at the press conference!

The White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, on Friday said the news media had taken President Donald Trump's statements on Thursday — when he said the US should investigate whether injecting disinfectant into people's bodies might cure COVID-19 — out of context to run negative stories.

"President Trump has repeatedly said that Americans should consult with medical doctors regarding coronavirus treatment, a point that he emphasized again during yesterdays' briefing," McEnany said in a statement. "Leave it to the media to irresponsibly take President Trump out of context and run with negative headlines."
