Speculation: Trump, "Using Disinfectant to Destroy Virus" is the end of Trump..4/23/20

Something so stupid and irresponsible is the end. Injecting it into the body as Trump said today, this evening, will create such a reaction that Trump will have to apologize for that statement. I don't think he will, and the resulting furor over this, will bring him down. Maybe he will apologize, maybe, but does he ever apologized for anything?
....This shows how stupid and irresponsible he is. We know this, but maybe, this is it. Maybe? The President of the United States says something on network TV, live, something this stupid and irresponsible will result in world wide reaction.
... Maybe, Maybe not? I've been wrong before, and will be wrong again. And this is speculation on my part. That world wide reaction is what could do it, not a few reactions from liberal commentators in the U.S.A. Trump will get reaction from everywhere: From Australia to Iceland. From Argentina, China & Japan. Anywhere there is an intelligent press or media, there will be reaction.

If I had a dollar for every time he was “done”, I’d be set for this lockdown. His minions are already spinning it as a joke, out of context, mere wondering or anything except what it is. He does shit like this on purpose. It gets everyone chattering and focused on everything except what we should be focused on.

It hasn't happened yet. He won't apologize. He never does.

Never.

He is insane and that is apparent, but the people handling him have accepted that fact and are willing to spin everything to help him avoid being wrong.

Sad.

this is it. This is the end of his show. Using disinfectant to stop this virus, by injecting it, proves he has lost it. Yes, you are also correct, that, ..."people have been predicting the end of Trump for three years."

But I think this is it. If not, maybe this will bring out a Republican opponent to his reelection.?? ...Anything can happen. ??? Anything has already happened...when Trump was elected President of the U.S.A. I remember hearing about that one early on, and I thought that was impossible. Much earlier, in the 80s there was speculation about having an Afro American elected President of the U.S.A. I never thought I would see that one either..

Much, much, earlier, in the mid to late 50s, there were predictions that someday, men would walk on the moon, well..I didn't believe I would ever live to see that one either.

Ok..One more..are you ready??. I think it was the late 70s or early 80s, I took a course on what the future would look like with computers. The professor said that some day we would have hand held computers that would be relatively cheap, and we could walk around with and talk to. Yes, maybe 40 to 45 years ago. Yes, I am that old. At the time, computers took up entire rooms, and were limited colleges and universities. Perhaps you do not remember that, but I do. Well, the rest is ...........history.....Yes, I taught high school history..many years ago... Would you like some old lesson plans? I got hundreds?

I remember all those predictions. I took a similar course. The difference is, I believed those predictions. I read a lot of science fiction. Almost anything is possible.

“Trump is a genius, making 3D-chess moves that Democrats can’t begin to follow!”

Some kind of denial like that might be in the works for right-wing media.

I’ve actually seen the “3D chess” denial used in regard to Trump in the past, though, but don’t remember the details now.

I don’t like filling my mind with too much nonsense, I guess. Lol.

The the next day he’ll be even crazier. He’s so disparate. Does he do pressers on the weekend? If not he’ll downplay it and by Monday he’ll have never said it. I guess that’ll be the plan by Saturday really.

There is nothing he can say or do that will shift his base. Nothing. He has just been responsible for the deaths of 50,000 people. They love him, and from republicans in congress? Crickets.

This will not go away, if Trump does not resign, he will lose all 50 states come November.
The producers of Lysol, the disinfectant, have issued a statement...never inject this into your body.

...Just think about that last sentence.....The maker of a house cleaner, has to issue a statement warning people not to inject the stuff into your body, because the President of the United States says it will destroy a serious
virus that is killing people...

...This statement is....major news around the world. No matter what Trump says, he has destroyed his career and his name forever.
