I have to bookmark this because when I tell people about this they simply won't believe it.

(82,849 posts)The state's poison control director won't say; the doctors who treated these knuckleheads won't ask the victims why they did it; and no one can make any conclusive statement about it. It's a mystery!

trDump's diarrhea of the mouth and brain are the only culprits here.
Shame on trDump for enticing the unstable to bring harm upon themselves by concocting toxic brews to protect themselves against the dangers of the Coronavirus.

(5,810 posts)There are plenty of people who through no fault of their own may do really dangerous or illogical things to fight off the virus. He is an authority figure and with that comes the need to use restraint and measured words so that things he says are not misconstrued. He fails to recognize this so he babbles whatever ideas that flit through his mind. He really should be called out when stories come out about people drinking bleach or other cleaning products. Do not let him off the hook with some vague answer about not having heard of the cases.
These people are not well mentally. They did not ask to be that way any more than they choose cancer or heart disease. So they need to be protected from tRump. I hope the journalists will continue to confront him when stories like this come out. If nothing else, it reinforces to people watching the news that tRump is responsible for confusing vulnerable people. But he refuses to accept his role in that confusion or misinformation.
