Just 33 funny tweets about Donald Trump curing Covid-19 with disinfectant
Donald Trump hit something resembling peak Donald Trump when he suggested injecting yourself with disinfectant might be the way to beat Covid-19.
And even seasoned Trump-watchers who have grown used to this sort of thing were taken aback. Do what?
“The disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, and is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. It gets in the lungs” — Trump seems to suggests that injecting disinfectant inside people could be a treatment for the coronavirus pic.twitter.com/amis9Rphsm

Never normally do this but are there any science doctors out there who can help me? I've ran out of Toilet Duck to shoot up, will I get the same effect from freebasing Persil Non-Bio?

I had this totally crazy dream last night that the president of the United States suggested injecting people with cleaning agents as a coronavirus treatment. Wonder what it means.

Heard my neighbours having a row over whether or not it was a good idea to inject bleach to cure coronavirus. It got a bit heated so I phoned the police to report a domestos disturbance.
(I’m not even sorry)

Awake to find The President Of The United States has floated the idea of injecting bleach into the body to cure Coronavirus.
Perhaps we might also inject Alphabet Soup into him to see if he can start forming coherent sentences.— Danny Baker (@prodnose) April 24, 2020

enjoying all the doctors doing the "I am a qualified doctor and you should not drink bleach" tweets, listen up everyone I am not a qualified doctor and I struggle to take my jumper off without my t-shirt riding up exposing my belly and I also advise you to not drink bleach
