On April 23, 2020, Donald Trump stood in the White House press briefing room and raised the prospect of an entirely new kind of Covid treatment. As the then-president saw it, patients might benefit if they received, among other things, injections of disinfectant into their bodies. The brief, impromptu comments, quickly became the quintessential moment of Team Trump’s pandemic response, capturing the Republican’s ineptitude and the eagerness with which he embraced nonsense.
The New York Times reported: A video of the comments suggested that Biden enjoyed both making the joke and the enthusiastic response from his audience. There’s no great mystery here: Biden wanted to draw attention to one of Trump’s most humiliating moments, while simultaneously having a little fun with his rival’s appearance. But just below the surface, there’s probably a larger strategy unfolding.
