Donald Trump hasn't had it easy the past few months...

He remained calm, and repeatedly stressed that there was nothing to be too worried about.The President persistently fought against the media regarding the pandemic.
And, at one point, even dubbed the virus as being a "fake news media" conspiracy.And, as the months trickled by...
President Trump simply wouldn't budge from his stance on the virus and even went on to compare it to the common flu.

And last month, he made his most shocking claims yet.
He casually suggested that these disinfectants could, in some way, be "injected" into the body as a method of combatting the virus.
"The disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, and is there a way we can do something like that by injectio… https://t.co/9MMW0IcVCT— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar)1587680385.0

Since his shocking claims, medical experts have been frantically urging people to not inject themselves with chemicals.
Oh FFS please don’t do this. I don’t need the extra work. If you are sick call your doctor. Don’t self medicate. https://t.co/uBXIasVXio— Judy Melinek M.D. (@Judy Melinek M.D.)1587687568.0

But recently, people have been trying to justify these actions by claiming the President isn't feeling right...

"The last thing I was going to do is 'fall' for the Fake News to have fun with. Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum!" Oh yikes.Here's the video in question:
Do you think he will explain what is up with not being able to fully bring a glass of water to his mouth with his r… https://t.co/MLViSPljqD— Laura Rozen (@Laura Rozen)1592105157.0
