Trump hasn't exactly been praised for his handling of the ongoing medical crisis.He started out by remaining stubbornly confident in America's resilience to the virus.
Back in January, shortly after the initial outbreak, he was quizzed on his thoughts on the virus, in which he replied: “It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine."And, even when the number of cases here in America started to climb...
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.

The President has been doing some serious backtracking.
Trump: “I felt it was a pandemic long before it was declared a pandemic.” https://t.co/v3B3UQhbdM— Jan Postma (@Jan Postma)1584463905.0
But this isn't necessarily a good thing.

Though Trump is finally taking the virus seriously, he has been dishing out some pretty concerning advice that could ultimately put thousands of lives at risk.And last month, he made his most shocking claims yet.

At a press conference, the President discussed potential cures for the virus and went on to bring up the topic of disinfectants.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
Even for Trump's standards, these claims are completely outrageous.

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

Their statement read: "As a global leader in health and hygiene products, we must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion, or any other route). As with all products, our disinfectant and hygiene products should only be used as intended and in line with usage guidelines. Please read the label and safety information." All cleared up?But recent news has left people completely distracted from Trump's ridiculous comments.
