Trump: "So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous - whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light," the president said, turning to Dr Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response co-ordinator, "and I think you said that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it. "And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're going to test that too. Sounds interesting," the president 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 almost a cleaning? "So it'd be interesting to check that." Pointing to his head, Mr Trump went on: "I'm not a doctor. But I'm, like, a person that has a good you-know-what." He turned again to Dr Birx and asked if she had ever heard of using "the heat and the light" to treat coronavirus. "Not as a treatment," Dr Birx said. "I mean, certainly, fever is a good thing. When you have a fever, it helps your body respond. But I've not seen heat or light." "I think it's a great thing to look at," Mr Trump said. Doctors warned the president's idea could have fatal results. Pulmonologist Dr Vin Gupta told NBC News: "This notion of injecting or ingesting any type of cleansing product into the body is irresponsible and it's dangerous. "It's a common method that people utilise when they want to kill themselves." Kashif Mahmood, a doctor in Charleston, West Virginia, tweeted: "As a physician, I can't recommend injecting disinfectant into the lungs or using UV radiation inside the body to treat Covid-19. "Don't take medical advice from Trump." John Balmes, a pulmonologist at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, warned that even breathing fumes from bleach could cause severe health problems. He told Bloomberg News: "Inhaling chlorine bleach would be absolutely the worst thing for the lungs. The airway and lungs are not made to be exposed to even an aerosol of disinfectant. "Not even a low dilution of bleach or isopropyl alcohol is safe. It's a totally ridiculous concept." source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52407177

Trump put tariffs on China his first term. It didn’t work because China funneled its products through other countries. Trump now put tariffs on all countries. He doesn’t want to reduce Vietnam tariff only to have Vhina sell to Vietnam to sell to the US.

The US needs to be more self efficient rather than depend on foreign countries. It's a national security risk as Trump has said.

I know what a breech is. Do you know what a link is? I asked for a link?

https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF10997#:~:text=The first joint review is,agreement will terminate in 2036.

Link to the US-Canada-Mexico Free Trade agreement being shattered? My understanding was it remains in tact.

Where is the rest of what Trump said? Typical, some lefttard posts a youtube video and cuts it off way before Trump is done speaking, and all the lefties spin in circles.

That sounds more like the Biden administration which didn't do anything other than reverse some Trump exec. orders and throw money at stuff.

OK, I guess it's a loan by the govt to individuals to increase govt revenue short term, but then pay back with interest upon maturity. I guess I knew that but wasn't thinking clearly.

I think Trump must have been thinking of doing this for a long time. October 2015: Trump: "That's true" that Trump clothing line is made in part in Mexico and China. April 2011: ABC News: "Donald Trump Blames China for Fact That Much of His Gear is 'Made in China.'" Donald Trump told students at Trump University that outsourcing jobs is not always a terrible thing. https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/rubio-campaign-press-release-donald-trump-proudly-outsources-jobs-china-mexico-other

Hey Google: Who sells US Treasuries? The U.S. Treasury sells Treasury bonds, notes, and bills through auctions, with the Bureau of the Fiscal Service handling the process to raise cash for the federal government and manage maturing securities.

I mentioned in this thread this past weekend a financial analyst said Trump's plan is get major investments in treasuries and that the stock market would go down because of his tariff plan. This and cutting govt. waste are all part of a plan by Trump to enrich the US Govt because there is debt every year and a massive deficit.

@weepaws are you a member of a church? If you are, what type of church are you attending?

Musk is stepping away from DOJ in May.

My Roth 401K went UP 1/2% this week (March 31st to April 4th) and that does not include adding any money to it from my paycheck. I have all of my retirement Roth 401K in two bonds. Just one week, that's a pretty good increase, all while mutual funds and stocks went down over 10%. I have nothing in the stock market. I got out a few months ago where I had a few mutual funds before. So I did get the huge gains when the market was skyrocketing up, I still don't have as much as I'd like in retirement because I was only putting in 10% of my income in it for several years from when I started my career.

I see the laughing emoji on my post one above. What I wrote is not from me, it's from a financial advisor who speaks on the radio once a week, who has looked into this. He said this on Wednesday of this week on the radio.

It's all part of Trump's plan. He wants the market to go down so that people will sell stocks and use that money to purchase US Treasuries. DOJ goal to cut a trillion dollars in spending, tariffs to bring in revenue to the US Govt. Then more jobs in the USA for people in the middle class, all will result in prosperity in a year or so from now.

I say let them feel normal. Cigarettes and Alcohol I consider a different category than pop and candy. I say allow it, so they can get a package of M&Ms and Coke Zero (or whatever) if they want to and it makes them just a little bit happier. Although, not ideal, a full size Snickers bar (or Twix or whatever) could be just what they need to get through a rough day. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but that's my current opinion.

Trump is not adding tariffs to pharmaceuticals.

I don't see why they can't purchase pop and candy like 60% (soda pop) and 98% (candy) of the population does.

Hopefully Disney sells Star Wars back to George Lucas.
