Following Up on the Disinfectant

As predicted, the gaslighter-in-chief has tried to say his completely bonkers comments from yesterday about injecting disinfectants into our bodies, our lungs, to cure COVID-19 were sarcastic.

MSNBC's Chris Hayes grows clearer and clearer in his withering analysis of all this each night, it seems:

This is all happening on a day when the death toll from this virus has reached more than 51,000. He said the cases would go down to zero in February. We're heading toward a million cases. 26 million people have lost their jobs. And day after day after day we're seeing there's no plan, there's no real plan or solutions coming from the White House. Instead there is, every night, carried on this network and others, a two-hour pathological narcissistic propaganda show in which the president feels some fleeting sense of satisfaction because people are watching him. And then he goes back to watching more TV.
In contrast, Minnesota's governor has these reasonable press conferences where reality exists. I happened to hear part of one today and it's startling to hear someone so lucid who's in charge. What a concept!
