Trump isn't president - why do people still talk about him so much?

[Quasiblogo]

They talk about him so much, because of the myth of Joe Cibola and The Seven Cities of Sanctuary.

Nice try trying to equate all politicians with Trump."They're all corrupt!"
A desperate attempt to make Trump's corruption. "Normal."
Like comparing a shoplifter to a million dollar embezzled. One of these guys is not like the others.
As for fiscal prudence, he gave trillions away to those who don't need it and exploded the size of our debt.

The last time one suggested that people inject themselves with disinfectant?

Nope , you can't use that one.

The last time one suggested that people inject themselves with disinfectant?

Nope , you can't use that one.

Yep. He publicly said it:

Did Trump Suggest Injecting Disinfectant Could Be COVID-19 Treatment?

The U.S. president's comments prompted doctors and the makers of household disinfectants to issue statements urging people not to ingest or inject cleaning products.

(Reuters) - Makers of household cleaners on Friday took the unusual step of urging people not to drink or inject their products, after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested researchers try using them to cure COVID-19 patients.

Reckitt Benckiser <RB.L>, the UK-based maker of Lysol and Dettol, issued the first warning, saying: "Under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion or any other route)."

Clorox <CLX.N>, maker of bleach, soon followed, calling it critical for consumers to understand the facts.

"Bleach and other disinfectants are not suitable for consumption or injection under any circumstances," it said.

The comments came after Trump said at a Thursday news briefing that scientists should explore whether inserting ultraviolet light or disinfectant into the bodies of people infected with the disease caused by the novel coronavirus would help.

"Is there a way we can do something like that by injection, inside, or almost a cleaning?" he said. "It would be interesting to check that."

The look on a doctors face behind him was priceless.

The national discussion triggered Reckitt Benckiser, the company that makes disinfectants Lysol and Dettol, to issue a statement on Friday.

“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 or ingestion or any other route),” the company said.

As sharp warnings from doctors, medical and public health experts poured in, suggesting Americans ignore any advice to ingest disinfectant, the White House said Trump’s nationally broadcast remarks were taken out of context.

“President Trump has repeatedly said that Americans should consult with medical doctors regarding coronavirus treatment, a point that he emphasized again during yesterday’s briefing,” press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said before offering another refrain long rote for the Trump administration.

“Leave it to the media to irresponsibly take President Trump out of context and run with negative headlines,” she added.

Anna Yeung-Cheung, a professor of biology, virology and infectious disease at Manhattanville College in New York, told Courthouse News about her bafflement in hearing Trump’s comments Thursday.

“He’s the president of the United States. I understand he’s not a scientist, but sometimes, I believe, you need to be much more careful in what you’re saying,” she said. “I understand we have freedom of speech, but coming from a leader, it’s not just a joke.”

So jarring were the remarks that a former student called Yeung-Cheung upon seeing the briefing to ask: “What is happening?”

The president has a history of making specious medical claims.

In March, he repeatedly asserted that vaccines for coronavirus would be ready in months.

Trump Spitball on Injecting Disinfectant Provokes Alarm

WASHINGTON (CN) — During the 1918 pandemic, quack doctors and con men prescribed consuming kerosene — dispensed atop a lump of sugar, of course — to ward off influenza. It did not, would not and could not work, but over a century later, President Donald Trump stood in the James Brady briefing...

When Trump was president, it made sense to talk about how good or bad he was at speaking, running the country etc.

Now, Biden is 'president' but when he is critiqued, Trump is brought up as a comparison?

I don't get it!

Help me understand the logic?

Because the consequences of the actions that occurred by him are still occurring and, frankly, because the man just refuses to go away so we are held hostage by having to discuss him and his insanity.

Trump isn't president - why do people still talk about him so much?​

Perhaps it because there's a significant portion of the population (including Trump himself) that are yet to be convinced that he isn't president.
