I explicitly agreed with your point a few posts ago:

> It's hard to defend Trump's words on this topic. He's not a medical expert and doesn't sound like one.

My point is, the media is fighting stupidity with stupidity with this whole Lysol thing. They could have used this as an opportunity to say, we know Trump sounds dumb, but let us teach you about what he is actually referring to

Sorry I'm a different guy. Should have kept out of it I suppose.

But yeah, its a game now, pointing out how (nearly) everything the guy says is dumb. Its not a game we should be playing; he should be sticking to broad goals and comforting the public. Like, you know, a leader. Instead of a regular schmuck way out of his depth who likes to hear himself talk.

No worries! I agree with mostly everything you have written. I just wish that the media used these opportunities to educate people on what Trump was actually talking about instead of getting obsessed with the specific words (namely "disinfectant" and "inject") that he used to describe it

> you about what he is actually referring to

Where is your evidence that supports that this is what he was referring to?
