Howard Stern Urges Trump Fans to All Drink Bleach Together and ‘Drop Dead’

Howard Stern returned to his SiriusXM show after a week-long break on Monday. And he had a lot to say about President Trump’s recent suggestion that injecting disinfectant might just be the coronavirus cure Americans have been waiting for. “I would love it if Donald would get on TV and take an injection of Clorox and let’s see if his theory works,” Stern told listeners on Monday, as first reported by the New York Daily News. “Hold a big rally, say fuck this coronavirus, with all of his followers, and let them hug each other and kiss each other and have a big rally.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/howard-stern-urges-trump-fans-to-all-drink-bleach-together-and-drop-dead

At an April 23 press briefing, President Donald Trump mused about the possibility of using “very powerful light” and injecting disinfectant into the body to kill COVID-19 – a suggestion that, in the case of disinfectant, was roundly criticized by experts as dangerous. A day later, he said he was being “sarcastic.” There’s no clear indication in his remarks that Trump was joking, either in his initial comment or when he returned to the topic later in the briefing.

WATCH: Trump dangerously suggests doctors test ‘injection’ of disinfectants into human body to cure coronavirus – Raw Story

President Donald Trump on national television Thursday evening offered a dangerous suggestion: doctors and scientists should test the “injection” of disinfectants, like bleach or alcohol, into the human body as a way to cure coronavirus. “And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out, in a minute,” Trump said. “Is there a way we can do something like that?
