I could do this all day. Trump has bullied and downplayed mask wearing countless times.

"Can you take it off, because I cannot hear you?" Trump said to Mason, referencing their face mask.

"I'll just speak louder, sir," Mason replied.

"Ok, you want to be politically correct. Go ahead," Trump said.
The reporter couldn't be heard while outside in the sunlight where it's pointless to wear a mask. Trump asked him to remove it and the reporter didn't want to, so he says fine, you want to be politically correct, go ahead. I'm expected to be outraged by this? This is an example of mocking mask wearers as a whole? His press secretaries do that to 10x greater effect on a daily basis.

My instinct is to say try harder, but I don't find any satisfaction reading endless nonsense that amounts to "Timmy called Johnny a doo doo head" and we need talk about this.

I'm sure 200,000,000 people died as a result of this horrific mocking.

Disinfectant and UV rays were two separate ignorant and idiotic suggestions that he should have made behind closed doors, not in front of the American public.
So happy to see you being disagreeable.

This is what FC linked as evidence of bleach injection

Quote:
And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in 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 that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, 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.
In the same paragraph, Trump is unambiguously talking about UV light, and even if he said the words bleach, which he did not, he never even implied that people should inject it. He turned to someone and said we should look into this.

If you haven't caught on yet, Trump is expert on basically nothing. When he gets called out on talking about things he's not expert on, his fallback is to say he's trolling the media.

From my perspective, I dislike that society has devolved to the point that we are only motivated by negative campaign ads, misrepresentation of opponents character or outright lies, and brash personalities represented by both Trump and Biden. That said, the thing I approve of that Trump does is descend to the level of idiocy that the legacy media brings. I could could party all night, stumble into a press conference stinking wasted, and bring a higher level of intellect and dignity to the profession. What's worse, that our figurehead is a degenerate, or that the place people go to be informed on how to avoid promoting degenerates is itself degenerate? One is a single person and is easily contended with, but the other is an broad institution with roots planted in corruption at the core. They seed division and chaos with disinformation; causing gullible people to despise their country, to see everything in terms of arbitrary oppressor's/oppressed relationships, and to stoke violence and destruction in the streets all the while saying this is peace and progress in action.

Legacy media is the biggest cancer because the vast majority of people don't have their own opinions, they have them given to them, and then they are further deceived into thinking their opinions are their own.

Quote:
No, you are just trolling. I am confident that you know how to use Google as well as anyone.
I wish I was trolling, but I don't find the subject interesting enough to spark a conversation. My only intention in this instance was to make sure people are being honest with facts. Instead we get the very tactic used by legacy media to run a headline which is either factually incorrect itself, or is a non-sequitur to the main story, or both.

There is only 2 possibilities from FCs original comment;

Quote:
He said it's no big deal and will just go away on its own, and makes fun of people who wear masks....

Maybe Walter Reed can give him some bleach injections or something. I hear they might be effective.
Either it was a marginally funny joke (I stated I didn't know anything with regards to mocking mask wearers and still haven't seen evidence), or he believes Trump actually instructed people to inject bleach, or both.

I pointed out that he never said nor implied that people should inject bleach.
