President Trump’s latest go-to defense:
President Donald Trump said Friday that his remarks on injecting disinfectants to treat COVID-19 were sarcasm, after doctors responded with horror and disinfectant manufacturers urged people not to ingest the poisonous substances.
“I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters just like you, just to see what would happen,” Trump said on Friday during a bill signing for the coronavirus aid package. “I was asking a sarcastic and a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside. But it does kill it and it would kill it on the hands, and it would make things much better.” [NBC News]
Yeah? The reporters should have simply replied, en masse:
Yeah, everyone else has been sarcastic, too.
Especially the dead ones. Death as sarcasm: the new art form.
