To be fair, the President never said people should drink bleach. He remarked that it's so quick and easy to disinfect surfaces, then wondered out loud if it was possible to disinfect a human's insides, and then turned to the sidelines and asked someone off camera if they were looking into that.

It was still a huge head scratching / face palming moment, but he didn't actually say anyone should try to disinfect their insides by drinking bleach or any other means.  I think the mis-characterizing of it made it too easy to say "he didn't say that".  Really the story should not have been been about "President says people should drink bleach"; it should have been "why does the president need to ask that question?"

President says to drink bleach, and 1% believe it.  QAnon says Tom Hanks and Pope Francis are pedophiles, and 10 or 20% believe it?  CDC says to wear masks, and 50% believe it.  Google says eat a bug, and 99% start chowing down on six-leggers?

Even God seems to have lower credibility than Google.  Should our currency say “In Google We Trust”?

That's why I mentioned it.  But he's not the only person in the world doing that.

        Typically this is an infected (contains malware) site.
