That really isn't even a good try at making Trump's many critics look dumb.

The idiot is all too obviously the man who said:
"Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that hasn’t been checked but you’re going to test it.

And then I said 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 to test that, too. Sounds interesting.

I see 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 on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that. So you’re going to have to use medical doctors, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute, that’s pretty powerful."
... and then of course tried to pretend he was only joking

... and when that failed chickened out of giving any further pressers.

I for one am ok if the President opts to sit out press briefings going forward.

I heard that bar soap is effective for killing the virus, so doctors need to find a way to scrub our lungs and kidneys with bar soap. *Medical* bar soap.

(Can’t even get the text on his meme to reflect the actual words of the President, because even subs needs to edit them to not sound as crazy as they actually are)

Its a strange moment in history when the President of the US says things so asinine that this sort of satire will be required to keep his voters from following his suggestion.

Res Ipsa said, “The evidence supporting the early speculation that people are contagious before they show symptoms turned out to be faulty. The evidence from other countries is not consistent with high rates of transmission.”

Boy, that didn’t age well.

tl;dr - 1 in 4 NY’ers are carrying COVID-19 antibodies.

Listening to Pence discuss testing capacity. 5.4 million tests done to date and he predicts we'll soon be able to test 2 million people per day.

Wouldn't that take something like 3 years to test the population of the US? Or is my brain totally fried on that?
