Donald Trump has completely bonkers meltdown about Dr. Birx
Donald Trump apparently isn’t having a press briefing today, after he refused to take any questions yesterday, and had his disinfectant meltdown the day before yesterday. While Trump is afraid to face questions or even show his face right now, he’s going as bonkers as ever on Twitter.
Trump is now admitting that he asked his completely idiotic question about injecting sunlight into people as a coronavirus cure. But for some reason he’s insisting that he didn’t say it to Dr. Birx, and he instead said it to someone else:
Was just informed that the Fake News from the Thursday White House Press Conference had me speaking & asking questions of Dr. Deborah Birx. Wrong, I was speaking to our Laboratory expert, not Deborah, about sunlight etc. & the CoronaVirus. The Lamestream Media is corrupt & sick!

The thing is, we all saw Donald Trump ask Dr. Birx about injecting sunlight and ingesting disinfectants. He’s lying as usual. But why pick such an oddly specific hill to die on? ‘I didn’t say the insanely idiotic thing to a doctor, I said it to a lab expert’ isn’t a defense. So what’s the deal?
Our guess is that Donald Trump finally saw the viral clip of the expression on Dr. Birx’s face while he was rambling about injecting sunlight, and decided to try to “deny” it by insisting he wasn’t talking to Dr. Birx. Of course this makes no sense at all. But he’s half-senile and fully psychotic, so it’s the kind of dishonest gibberish that would make sense to him.
