Dr. Donnie's Deadly Medicine Show Folding?



After yesterday's truncated, 20- minute COVID-19 pep rally where virus-friendly demagogue and pathological liar Donald "COVID Donnie" Trump left without answering questions, the speculation is that marathon press "briefings" are a thing of the past. One reason is clearly Trump's dangerous and unhinged suggestion on Thursday that the injection of disinfectant into the body could kill the virus, forcing his own medical team and the makers of disinfectants to tell people not to do that under any circumstances. He was universally ridiculed and shamed for that idiocy, which he later lied about and said was meant as "sarcasm."

We're skeptical about Trump ending these Nuremberg rally substitutes, because malignant narcissists can't stay away from the cameras and mic for long to lie and brag about themselves, and to vent their rage at the media and pass blame to others.

BONUS: The WaPo reports that the White (Supremacist) House is blaming Department of Homeland Security suck up William Bryan for "confusing" Trump about internal disinfectant use and UV light inside the body. He wasn't "confused," he seized upon something he could happy-talk to his cult about, like hydroxychloroquine and other "magic" cures.  Plus, it's been reported that the dolt got a letter from a crank extolling the virtues of bleaching one's innards several days before the Thursday debacle.  Or, maybe he got the idea from The Onion.

BONUS II:  Meanwhile, 20 world leaders are coordinating cooperation on developing a coronavirus vaccine and on research.  COVID Donnie wasn't involved.
