    Oof, ultraviolet light. This makes me flashback to April 2020, shortly after the U.S. shutdown for the Coronavirus pandemic.

    If you have 1:57 minutes of free time, watch this video of former President Donald Trump addressing the nation on the response to the novel coronavirus.

    Warning: If you experience second-hand embarassment, try not to watch Dr. Birx in the background squirm in her seat as she sits through the idiot rambling of the orange man. Immediately after this press conference, corporations and media companies pushed out critical warnings to Americans to not drink or inject disinfectants like bleach.

      “I would like [Dr. Birx] to speak to the medical doctors. to see if there is any way that you can apply light and heat to cure [covid-19]? You know? If you could? And maybe you can, maybe you can’t? Again, I say maybe you can, maybe you can’t?”

      “I’m not a doctor, but I’m like a person who has a good…”

      Gestures vaguely at his head

      “… you know what.” ~ Former President Donald Trump

      This video always has the beginning chopped off and misses the KEY thing about the whole fiasco. It was even dumber than you think.

      Trump is walking to the podium and stops to examine a CDC infographic on an easel. An infographic about ways to sterilize surfaces.

      All the bullshit Trump is spewing came from 5-seconds of reading that poster.
