The global pandemic has killed thousands of Americans and unemployed millions more, but if you're looking for some heartening assurance that the President of the United States has the situation under control, you should probably stop reading.

Acting Homeland Security Under Secretary for Science and Technology William Bryan gave a presentation on the most effective ways to eliminate the microscopic saliva droplets through which the virus is spread from surfaces.


Bryan mentioned that it was harder for the virus to survive in sunlight and that common disinfectants like bleach and isopropyl alcohol were effective at preventing transmissions through shared surfaces such as kitchen counters.

That was when Trump wondered aloud about the possibility of injecting UV light and disinfectants into human bodies in order to cure the virus.

Watch below.

Trump said:

"I see the disinfectant knocks it out in a minute, one minute. Is there a way we can do something like that? By injection, inside or almost a cleaning? Cause you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it'd be interesting to check that. You're gonna have to use medical doctors, right? But it sounds interesting to me."

The dangerous suggestion stunned viewers and nearly broke the internet, but one of the most telling reactions occurred in real time.

One camera caught the reaction of Dr. Deborah Birx, a longtime physician, global health and vaccine expert, and a response coordinator for the virus. Birx has been walking a common tightrope of the Trump administration: trying to dispense factual information while also trying not to contradict the President.

In that moment, the two efforts became mutually exclusive, and the look on Dr. Birx's face said it all.

Watch below.

Birx's expression seemed to say what people were thinking: We're in deep excrement.





Some thought the look was more fitting set to music.




Is no one really going to say anything?



In case you're on the fence: don't consume bleach.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
