The first thing to note is that no reasonable person could hear what Trump said as suggesting that they swig Lysol.
Here's what Trump actually said:
"Question that probably some of you are thinking of if you're totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light. And I think you said that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it," Trump said, looking over to Bryan.
"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 gonna test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?"
He continued: "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, or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets on the lungs and it does a tremendous number, so it will be interesting to check that. So that you're going to have to use medical doctors. But it sounds, it sounds interesting to me. So we'll see.
"But the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute, that's, that's pretty powerful."
First he posed it as a question not a suggestion.
Second he repeatedly talked about real doctors checking any such solution out.
Third he directly said that doing anything like this would require a doctor to say it was good and useful.
Fourth he never mentioned Lysol.
But the lying #FakeNews media and Democrat politicians have shouted out to the world that Trump actually said that people should swig Lysol.
That's why if anyone does do something that stupid it's the fault of Democrat politicians and the #FakeNews media not Trump.
But it turns out that there haven't been a spike of calls to poison control after Trump's comment.
Color me shocked that this context— that calls to poison control centers have been spiking for over a month, and most calls were about accidental ingestion, not attempted treatment— didn’t make it in to all the coverage yesterday. https://t.co/RJqxpy12Mz— Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) April 25, 2020
Where did you read they "ingested" these products?— Chad Felix Greene (@chadfelixg) April 25, 2020
Poison Control stated they had "possible exposure" to chemicals.
None of them were hospitalized.
It was 17 more calls than this time last year.
None were quoted saying they were sick or heard Trump.
Did you read the article? https://t.co/GMuiEirE5E
The articles that claim otherwise cite two calls in Illinois which involve exposure to disinfectants or a few cases in other locations. No mention of them being either intentional or due to ingestion. Further the articles provide exactly no information that the people making the calls had even heard what Trump had said or what the #FakeNews media falsely claimed what Trump said.
The reality is that there has been a very significant increase in calls to poison control about exposure to disinfectants since March. That makes sense because people are following what doctors really say about cleaning of surfaces which means they're using disinfects a lot more than they used to.
Once again the #FakeNews media lies about what Trump said and then lies about the consequences of the lie that they told.
They can't be trusted about anything.

"If you thought that the President's stataments were recommending that you injest or inject household cleaners, than you are the reason we have so many warning labels."
