Same with Ivermectin and Hurricane Sharpie, obviously.

Your response tells me you're just another victim of corrupt establishment and media lies. Anyone who actually watched that presser knows it went down like explained here:

I know some people who have been saying natural immunity is no good and that its best to close the outdoors to prevent the spread of a viral infection.

Well, unless you count these sources as part of the "corrupt establishment," on the whole 2020 injection fracas, here's what was said, via CSpan ....
President Trump on "Injecting" Disinfectants
After Acting Homeland Security Under Secretary for Science and Technology William Bryan delivers remarks on tests his lab is conducting with the virus, including killing it with disinfectants and UV rays, President Trump asks him whether it is possible for this to be applied to humans via injection.

Coming back to #WordsMatter, your fact check may be correct about drinking bleach, but so is this one on injecting disinfectant ....Anyone who actually watched that presser knows it went down like explained here:

Trump Once Asked if Injecting Disinfectant Could Be a COVID-19 Treatment?
The claim recirculated online after it was brought up again during the first presidential debate of the 2024 U.S. presidential cycle.

Not quite as clear cut as either of these memes, right?

Why not? The whole of the democrats believe it. Of course they started it all by parsing a comment and then falsely speaking it in the fawning liberal media. The shirts are sarcasm, something I know from decades of being with Americans, that they do know well. Sarcasm is not lost on them.

So I’m guessing the 74% of GOP supporters surveyed in Feb were being sarcastic then.

One day. The same as most Presidents. They spend the first day signing stacks of Executive Orders. Basically dictating their starting positions. They are not Maduro or Jinping.So I’m guessing the 74% of GOP supporters surveyed in Feb were being sarcastic then.

Here is the actual wording of that exchange.
Trump, referring to Hannity: "We love this guy. He says, ‘You are not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said, ‘No, no, no, other than Day 1.’ We are closing the border and we are drilling, drilling, drilling. After that I am not a dictator, OK?"
And yes Republicans agreed, with the complete quote, not the leftist edited one. See, they do understand sarcasm.
For the anti-Trumpers hanging their hat on the "34 felony convictions", Andrew McCarthy's analysis suggest you may have some real great news in the short term:
Andrew McCarthy: Prepare for Trump to be sentenced to prison on September 18
The New York prosecution of Trump was politics, not justice. That’s why we call it "lawfare." Prosecutors and the judge are not concerned about whether convictions later get thrown out.www.foxnews.com
Meh. First time (albeit multiple) offender, white collar offense, lowest class of felony. Very possible he sees no prison time. I’m not sure if the pre-sentencing recommendations from prosecution or defense will be publicly docketed before the decision date. It will come down to how persuasive the judge finds arguments of aggravating circumstances.
I doubt there are many, if any, unpersuaded voters left who would be swayed to supporting Trump by a carceral sentence. Anyone inclined to think he’s a victim and being hard done by likely made that call ages ago.
I would be surprised to see SCOTUS intervene without exhausting the levels of appeal in between. With September sentencing and an early November election, there’s time, even if would be a rush. Courts can deal with rushes on occasion.

Are you sure he didn’t mean someone would be taking dictation on day one? Since (again) clarity is lacking, and “they KNOW what he means” seems to be the standard, your interpretation, this one and those who take “dictator” to mean one-dude-rule could all apply to this summary …
Since you’re worried about how the left edits, where’s this summary coming from? That’s also what this right-ish think tank says he said …
… and even they say he doesn’t quite get how things work.
Or should we also go by the “we know what he really means” about Trudeau’s comments about boxed water, which does exist?

Either words matter for everyone and people that are slack in their words get called on them, or they don’t for anyone (edpecially those we agree with) and we keep bitching about how reality gets distorted all over the place just because of politics & the media.

Trump's 'Day One' Remark to 'Dictator' Question Referenced the Southern Border and Oil Drilling
The former U.S. president was interviewed by Fox News host Sean Hannity in December 2023. One moment in particular was highlighted by the news media.

I have opinions, you have opinions, the think tank stuff is someone's opinion.
I'm not interested in trudeau's marble mouth mutterings. As my opinion of him is that he can't talk without lying or being a marxist ass, my opinion of him is highly biased. I'll reserve topical comments on him to his own thread.
Rightish think tank? What is that? Since this is your description, where did you get the proof of this?
According to their website, they seem to go to great lengths to stay as neutral as possible.
Our Scholars
AEI scholars are committed to making the intellectual, moral, and practical case for expanding freedom, increasing individual opportunity, and strengthening the free enterprise system in America and around the world. Our work explores ideas that further these goals, and AEI scholars take part in this pursuit with academic freedom. AEI operates independently of any political party and has no institutional positions. Our scholars’ conclusions are fueled by rigorous, data-driven research and broad-ranging evidence.So when are we going to hold Biden, Harris and Walz to the same standard as your last paragraph? Where is the Democrat bashing threads? Certainly there are plenty of mispeaks, verbal gaffes and outright lies we could apply your rules to, in their cases.
Edit to add - even a CNN writers opinion seems to show what an idiotic claim of Trump being a dictator actually is.

I'd like to see the stigma on nuclear dissappear and a huge ramp up of new reactors. Yes, we bury the waste but we also bury our decommissioned windmill and solar panel waste too. And much, much closer to the surface than nuclear waste.

The only thing that comes to mind for that are massively huge battery storage facilities. However, they come with their own earth destroying problems.
