Trump Asks if Sunlight Can Be Injected 'Inside the Body' to Kill Coronavirus

During the White House press briefing on April 23, Donald Trump brought up the topic of warmer weather helping stop the pandemic spread of coronavirus. It’s a subject the President has brought up numerous times, but on Thursday, he stood before the briefing room and asked Dr. Deborah Birx to look into possible injecting sunlight into people to kill coronavirus.

Trump compared sunlight to being a “disinfectant” in the way in can knock out COVID-19 “in a minute.”

Trump said, “I wonder if there’s a way to do something where it knocks it out in one minute,” Trump said. “Is there was we can do something like that? By injection inside or almost a cleaning. As you know it gets inside the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that.”

I heard from someone who pointed at his head, and said he had a good "you know what" that this was another great way to cure covid-19. Truly exceptional people will try both simultaneously, and get twice the results. Fucking moron.

Nope, he said it. With a straight face, looking right at Dr. Birx. Saying have to get medical doctors to check it out.

Beam me up Scotty, there is no intelligent life here.

he wondered if you gave it to someone that was sick if it would make them better? It'd be hard to find a grade school kid that ever was vaccinated, that didn't understand more than that about it. I hated shots as a kid and damn well understood the explanation of why I had to get one. That usually has a lasting impression and you don't forget.

....FMAA stands for Fucking Moron Association of America and we do not want, under any circumstances, YES ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, to be in any way associated with or connected with Donald Trump or any of his family members who are also stupid beyond any kind of recommendation..

...We stand alone as the only association in America that cares about millions of......."f@*king morons" and we do try to look out for our membership. We are a very quiet and subdued organization that works behind the scenes to try to elevate to the highest possible level those of us, (and we are morons too) who belong to this exclusive club.

...Now if you have gotten this far, on this ridiculous post then I can say................I fooled you...............Yes, I am the President of countless associations that I make up from time to time to try to get a minor laugh..Of course, it never works, but I will try and try and try again...and as the world turns....see you next time.............Stuart G..............

Ask mama for a mason jar. Take it outside on a sunny day. Remove the lid and hold the open jar up to the sun. Quickly put the lid back on and take your treasure back to mama.

My mama would then make Sunshine Pie with Clouds, or what some folks would call a lemon meringue pie.

Normally he says something stupid and then hunts through his staff to find someone beholden enough to step forward with a clarification and back-up to Chump's comments.

Today, he brought out his "expert" first - Johnny Halflife - to edumacate us, and then he glommed on to Halflife's presentation to inspire his new talking points. "Hey folks, you heard it here...Johnny Halflife told us this was possible. Many wonder how I'm able to translate all this really, really hard stuff into something I can make understandable to all. It's b/c I'm smart and have a talent for this. Maybe I should have been a scientist. Now excuse me while I head for my tanning bed for my preventative treatment."
