I still can't believe he said that.
That's because he didn't. The transcripts are clear that PotUS Trump never suggested actually injecting/ingesting disinfectant.
The transcript of the relevant parts (emphasis added):
THE PRESIDENT: So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that too. It sounds interesting.
ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: We’ll get to the right folks who could.
THE PRESIDENT: Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.
As for the UV light, such therapy is called "ultraviolet blood irradiation", it's a well known but very old method that was replaced with antibiotics, although recent studies (before this pandemic) revealed that it had capabilities outside of what antibiotics do better. Getting it inside the body is as simple as fiber optics. However, he quite clearly deferred to the need for testing.
As for the disinfectant, he simply asked a question about it (note the use of 'is') and quite clearly indicated it was something that would have to be left to doctors.
Furthermore, FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn actually followed up and defended this question.
Dr. Stephen Hahn said:
So I think the data that were presented at the press conference today were really important in terms of what kills the virus, and I believe the president was asking a question that many Americans are asking, which is, 'okay, this is what kills the virus, it's a physical agent, in this case UV light. How could that be applied to kill the virus, for example, in a human being?' We have plenty of examples in medicine where light therapy has been used for treatment of certain diseases, so it's a natural question that I as a doctor would have expected to hear from someone as a natural extension of the data that were presented.
PotUS Trump himself followed up on the disinfectant comment to Jon Karl, reporter for ABC:
PotUS Trump:
It wouldn’t be through injections, you’re talking about almost a cleaning and sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work, but it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object.
This is quite clearly NOT 'a go and do this thing which I have said numerous times needs testing'. He's also correct here, disinfectants do have a big effect on the Corona Virus when on stationary objects - ergo non-living things.
Of course, this is going to get downvoted to hell but (his snippy war with the press aside) hate the guy or loathe the guy, it's disingenuous to claim he advised ingesting bleach, injecting lysol, or anything of the sort.
