Disinjectant?

If Joe Biden is elected President this November, history books will record that Trump lost the election the day - April 23 - he made the following suggestion.

Noting the use of disinfectants in killing the coronavirus on surfaces, Trump suggested that perhaps liquid disinfectant formulas like Lysol could be injected into the body of a person with COVID-19 to kill it.

Only one thing wrong with that - disinfectant can not only kill the virus, it can kill the patient!

When Trump suggested this idea, he turned to Dr. Deborah Birx to get a seconding of his proposal, but la Mademoiselle Docteur Birx - she of the cool scarves - just sat there and said more with the horrified expression on her face than mere words could.

I'm only glad she wasn't wearing her scarf as a mask.  

Oh yeah, Trump also suggested finding a way to get ultraviolet light  - another way to kill the virus on surfaces - inside infected human bodies as a cure.

How come no one has invoked the Twenty-Fifth Amendment yet? 

Needless to say, Democrats, news media personalities and the company that makes Lysol disinfectant all came out and made it clear that no one should deliberately swallow disinfectant at all, to make sure that people wouldn't do something crazy that Trump suggested.  However, people could still do something else crazy at Trump's urging - they could vote for him again.  And if the economy recovers enough by November, enough voters - some of whom probably sniff glue for fun - could do just that and end up giving him a second term.

America has a consumer economy, so every patriotic American should refrain from buying too much stuff between now and Election Day, November 3, so that the economy stays soft enough to hurt Trump.  We should only buy things we need.

Like disinfectant.

But don't drink it.
