How is it even slightly better than telling people to shoot up bleach?

I won’t go over the story about Trump telling the world that he thinks drinking or shooting up disinfectants to kill viruses might be a good idea, and that getting sunlight inside a Covid patient’s body is even possible let alone beneficial, because everyone everywhere except in NAHNAHNAHWECAN’THEARYOULAND knows that, yes, he actually fucking did that on live TV yesterday.

And I won’t get into detail about his cover story today, after the internet and everything else blew up because of that insane bit of live TV yesterday: his story that it was just a scarcastic joke and we’re all stupid for not getting it, because, again, why bother going over it? It’s in the historical record and at this point it’s just another irrefutable fact that will be Fake News in tomorrow’s version of The Brain of Donald Trump and Everyone Who Can’t See His Insanity.

No, what I want us to concentrate on right now is the excuse itself that he wants us to believe actually happened yesterday instead of what actually happened: he wants us to believe that in a National News Conference dedicated to how the United States of America is dealing with the most dire threat to our health, security and financial and social stability in 100 years — in a media event designed to assure the country that we’re doing all we can to stem the onslaught of Covid 19 and its dire, far-reaching ramifications — he says today that he was just being sarcastic when he suggested those lethally idiotic ideas to the millions of Americans who were watching the event yesterday.

Let that sink in:

He said he was just making an incredibly cruel, tasteless and sickening joke — without even a hint that he was trying to be funny — in his comments to a nation that is reeling from death, isolation, insecurity and dislocation, a nation that is seeking solace and reassurance.

How is that even slightly less sick than the homicidal misinformation that he actually intended to say, and did indeed say, yesterday? And how sick is it that he would think that such a story would be less offensive and repulsive?

This is one sick and deranged motherfucker. What a colossal crime that he’s still in a position to continue his unfettered rampage against civilization, law and decency.
