Trump’s Disinfectant Remarks Shocked Aides

NBC News: “As Trump went off script to suggest people with the virus could be cured by UV rays or disinfectants ‘by injection inside,’ White House officials began texting one another to ask where he got that idea because they thought, as one adviser put it, ‘this was going to be bad.'”

“None of them seemed to know, as Trump did not consult with any task force members or administration officials before making his impromptu statement.”

CNN: “A Trump adviser working with the task force admitted to feeling an immediate visceral reaction to Trump’s comments suggesting people could inject themselves with sunlight and disinfectants as a cure for the virus.”
