No, it wasn't sarcasm. If you watch the video or read the transcript, Trump did not even suggest it. He suggested it would be nice if there was something like it that we *could* take. IMHO, he was trying to motivate the drug companies to finish up a vaccine and to also come up with some medication we could use which would prevent/kill COVID.

Trump was suggesting ingesting disinfectant to treat COVID. He didn't specify whether that was existing disinfectant or yet-to-be-developed disinfectant. H later said that it was sarcasm.

I have heard it and read it. Apparently, they taught us how to listen and
read here in Kentucky much better than wherever you learned to. Or maybe I
was just able to better pay attention in school because I was not busy being triggered by words like "capitalism" or "peaceful," or because I was not busy being upset by the fact that I don't live in the socialist craphole of my dreams.

Either Jeff keeps repeating the "he told us to drink bleach" narrative because he knows it is not true or because he actually believes it. The second option is ironic considering how left-wing posters have accused right-wing posters here of not understanding nuances in speech and written word.

He did suggest it, and later claimed that the suggestion was sarcasm. You'd think if he didn't suggest it, he would've said so, but he didn't. He claimed it was sarcasm.

I believe he was forced to claim it was sarcasm by people like you who
actually believed they were directed to injest bleach and might actually do so.

I have regularly supposed that Jeff actually does believe it and that, if
Jeff had been a Trumpster, Jeff would be dead now because he would have drank/injected it like apparently other Darwin Award eligibles did. So would most others like Jeff in this echo in a similar hypothetical situation.

Had Jeff been a Trumpster, Jeff would not be Jeff. Your supposition is preposterous. However, Trumpers did ingest bleach at Trump's suggestion.

I am sorry, that is my fault. I should have realized that someone who
didn't pick up good English comprehension skills in school also didn't
learn about hypothetical situations. Sorry, those are both big words.
What they mean now is not important. At some point, you did pick up how to
use the word preposterous. Or maybe you just got lucky. Either way, good for you!

Let me try to make it more simple and not use difficult to understand terms or words:

(1) A group of "Trumpers" with similar comprehension issues to your own believed that they were told to, or that it was suggested that they should, injest bleach by President Trump.
(2) You also believe that Trump suggested we injest bleach.
(3) Therefore, you are not much smarter than a Trumper who misunderstood.
(4) However, you do not trust Trump as a source of such information, so you
did not drink bleach.
(5) If someone you did trust for such information made a similar remark,
and you again made the same comprehension mistake, you would be VERY likely to follow the advice you *thought* you heard.
(6) You are not the only one here who exhibits this comprehension issue, so
you would likely not be alone in your fate.

So if Fauci were to suggest that it was too bad there was not some
anti-virus dispersal system *LIKE* a bug-bomb that could clear the air of
your home of all COVID germs while you sleep, you would very likely hear
"I need to get a bug bomb to set off in my house tonight while I sleep!"
I have very, very little doubt of that.

DISCLAIMER! NO ONE SAID TO BUY A BUG BOMB AND SET IT OFF BEFORE YOU GO TO
BED TONIGHT, OR ANY OTHER NIGHT! THAT IS DANGEROUS AND COULD BE FATAL!!!!

I REPEAT, JEFF, NO BUG BOMBS! And continue to RESIST the temptation to
INJEST BLEACH! NO ONE HAS TOLD YOU TO DO SO!

I should probably add that disclaimer, along with one about not drinking bleach, to the monthy echo rules postings so as to keep the feeble minded
safe.

As did I. If Trump never said it, then why did he later claim that it was sarcasm?

I believe he was forced to claim it was sarcasm by people like you who actually believed they were directed to injest bleach and might actually do so.

Interesting theory, but no. He could have said, "I never suggested that
anyone ingest bleach; ingesting bleach is very dangerous and no one should do that." But he didn't, did he? He said that his suggestion to ingest disinfectants was sarcasm.

I have regularly supposed that Jeff actually does believe it and th if

There's no "hypothetically" about it. If I were a Trumper, I would be an entirely different person with a completely different set of moral values.
It's like saying, "if Mike were a pig, he'd probably eat slop." It's true,
but also meaningless.

Let me try to make it more simple and not use difficult to understand terms or words:
(1) A group of "Trumpers" with similar comprehension issues to your own believed that they were told to, or that it was suggested that they should, injest bleach by President Trump.

My intelligence level aside, apparently some did.

(3) Therefore, you are not much smarter than a Trumper who misunderstood.

Or not much smarter than Trump, who also thought he suggested it.

(4) However, you do not trust Trump as a source of such information, so you did not drink bleach.

True. Plus, I know better than to drink bleach. Apparently there are those
who do not.

Not likely.

I have very, very little doubt of that.

Has Fauci suggested that? Do you really think he would? Therein lies the crucial difference.

You don't need to worry about me. Your fellow conservatives, on the other hand...

I should probably add that disclaimer, along with one about not drinking bleach, to the monthy echo rules postings so as to keep the feeble minded safe.

Probably. Unless it's just sarcasm.

As far as drinking bleach goes, have you heard of Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS)? It's bleach. People drink it, mostly people who don't trust doctors. Drinking bleach was not unheard of before Trump suggested it. The very thing
he suggested was already a thing, readily available to people.

Hello Jeff,

Trump was suggesting ingesting disinfectant to treat COVID. He

didn't sp

whether that was existing disinfectant or yet-to-be-developed

disinfecta

later said that it was sarcasm.

I have heard it and read it. Apparently, they taught us how to

listen

and read here in Kentucky much better than wherever you learned to.

Or

maybe I was just able to better pay attention in school because I was
not busy being triggered by words like "capitalism" or "peaceful," or
because I was not busy being upset by the fact that I don't live in

the

socialist craphole of my dreams.

As did I. If Trump never said it, then why did he later claim that it was sarcasm?

After he said what he said, a reporter asked him if he really meant
what he said. Then Trump tried to walk it back by telling the reporter
that it would be under medical supervision, not that it was sarcasm
of any kind.

After the news media and several political commentators noted what
Trump said, and tried to explain, Trump made another statement claiming
what he said was sarcasm.

Either Jeff keeps repeating the "he told us to drink bleach"

narrat

because he knows it is not true or because he actually

believes it.

second option is ironic considering how left-wing posters have

accu

right-wing posters here of not understanding nuances in speech

and

written word.

He did suggest it, and later claimed that the suggestion was

sarcasm. Yo

think if he didn't suggest it, he would've said so, but he didn't.

He cl

it was sarcasm.

I believe he was forced to claim it was sarcasm by people like you

who

actually believed they were directed to injest bleach and might

actually

do so.

Interesting theory, but no. He could have said, "I never suggested that anyone ingest bleach; ingesting bleach is very dangerous and no one should do
that." But he didn't, did he? He said that his suggestion to ingest disinfectants was sarcasm.

He said what he said. And then he tried to walk it back when a
reporter asked him if he really meant what he said. It was only
after the news media and several political commentators had
their day of fun at Trump's comments that Trump decided to claim
it was sarcasm.

You and others can find the transcript online easy enough.

I have regularly supposed that Jeff actually does believe it

and th

if
Jeff had been a Trumpster, Jeff would be dead now because he

would

drank/injected it like apparently other Darwin Award eligibles

did.

would most others like Jeff in this echo in a similar

hypothetical

situation.

Had Jeff been a Trumpster, Jeff would not be Jeff. Your supposition

is

preposterous. However, Trumpers did ingest bleach at Trump's

suggestion.

I am sorry, that is my fault. I should have realized that someone

who

didn't pick up good English comprehension skills in school also

didn't

learn about hypothetical situations. Sorry, those are both big

words.

What they mean now is not important. At some point, you did pick up

how

to use the word preposterous. Or maybe you just got lucky. Either

way,

good for you!

There's no "hypothetically" about it. If I were a Trumper, I would be an entirely different person with a completely different set of moral values. It's like saying, "if Mike were a pig, he'd probably eat slop." It's true, but also meaningless.

I know people who liked and voted for Trump for no other reason
than his orange hair. They remained the same person they always
were.

Let me try to make it more simple and not use difficult to understand
terms or words:
(1) A group of "Trumpers" with similar comprehension issues to your

own

believed that they were told to, or that it was suggested that they
should, injest bleach by President Trump.

My intelligence level aside, apparently some did.

(2) You also believe that Trump suggested we injest bleach.

He did suggest it, later claiming the suggestion to be sarcasm.

And some folks actually thought he was serious. Even after he
claimed it was sarcasm.

(3) Therefore, you are not much smarter than a Trumper who

misunderstood.

Or not much smarter than Trump, who also thought he suggested it.

The power of suggestion is far more powerful than one might want
to believe.

(4) However, you do not trust Trump as a source of such information,

so

you did not drink bleach.

True. Plus, I know better than to drink bleach. Apparently there are those who do not.

If a doctor told you to "drink this" you would drink it without
question. What did GWB do after the events of 9-11 while standing
between two firemen at the WTC site? "Hug your children" and "Go
shopping." How many people questioned his words of wisdom?

(5) If someone you did trust for such information made a similar

remark,

and you again made the same comprehension mistake, you would be VERY
likely to follow the advice you *thought* you heard.

Not likely.

None of the reporters followed Trump's advice. But some of his
followers definitely did.

(6) You are not the only one here who exhibits this comprehension

issue,

so you would likely not be alone in your fate.

Apparently this fate played out for some, unhypothetically.

May God have mercy on their souls.

So if Fauci were to suggest that it was too bad there was not some
anti-virus dispersal system *LIKE* a bug-bomb that could clear the

air of

your home of all COVID germs while you sleep, you would very likely

hear

"I need to get a bug bomb to set off in my house tonight while I

sleep!"

I have very, very little doubt of that.

Has Fauci suggested that? Do you really think he would? Therein lies the crucial difference.

Dr. Fauci may be many things, but he most definitely is not an idiot.

DISCLAIMER! NO ONE SAID TO BUY A BUG BOMB AND SET IT OFF BEFORE YOU

GO

TO BED TONIGHT, OR ANY OTHER NIGHT! THAT IS DANGEROUS AND COULD BE
FATAL!!!!

But someone did claim that their suggestion to ingest disinfectants was sarcasm. Not hypothetical, not misunderstood. Sarcasm.

Trump did not tell the reporter who asked him about his comments
that it was sarcasm. He tried to walk it back by saying it should
be done under medical supervision.

I REPEAT, JEFF, NO BUG BOMBS! And continue to RESIST the temptation

to

INJEST BLEACH! NO ONE HAS TOLD YOU TO DO SO!

You don't need to worry about me. Your fellow conservatives, on the other hand...

I have no idea if those who ingested bleach were conservatives.
I doubt they had enough brains to qualify. But then, it doesn't
take much brains to be a conservative ...

I should probably add that disclaimer, along with one about not

drinking

bleach, to the monthy echo rules postings so as to keep the feeble

minded

safe.

Probably. Unless it's just sarcasm.

If your commanding officer told you to jump off a cliff, would
you do it? Rather than surrender, that is what many Japanese soldiers
did during WWII.

As far as drinking bleach goes, have you heard of Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS)? It's bleach. People drink it, mostly people who don't trust doctors.
Drinking bleach was not unheard of before Trump suggested it. The very thing
he suggested was already a thing, readily available to people.

If you want to have orange hair like Trump, put some lemon juice
in your hair and let it soak overnight. Wake up refreshed with a
bright new look.

However, I would not go so far as to shave off your eyebrows ...
