, adding he “can’t imagine why” more people are seeking guidance on his dangerous suggestion.... [+]Last Thursday, Trump suggested at his daily coronavirus press briefing that scientists should investigate whether COVID-19 patients could be treated with UV rays or common disinfectants.,” were widely condemned by doctors who strongly advised against people ingesting the toxic substances, while governors of Maryland and Michigan blamed the comments for a spike in emergency calls.
Reckitt Benkiser, the British company that manufactures Dettol and Lysol, was forced to issue a statement urging peopleor inject the products into their bodies and directed readers to a website about coronavirus facts. Calls to poison control centers in Illinois, Maryland, Michigan and New York City have spiked since Thursday, with people reportingBut on Monday, Trump denied responsibility for the spike when asked by a reporter, saying, “I can't imagine why. I can’t imagine that.”
When the reporter asked if he took responsibility for the calls, he responded “No, I don’t,” before quickly moving on.On Sunday, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Maryland Governor Larry Hogan said calls to emergency hotlines in their states, after Trump made the dangerous suggestion.
Dummy
Headlines like these are why people don’t believe you FakeNews
What the fuck is this fake news b.s..
Injecting chemicals has been done successfully. It is called EMBALMING. trump
He was musing, not suggesting it be done, when the MSM started screaming about it it became the National focus above all worthy news... so why is it on people’s minds? Gee I wonder.
'After wrongly suggesting that disinfectant could be ingested to kill coronavirus, President Donald Trump has denied responsibility for a spike in calls to emergency hotlines' Turns out Democrats and people with TDS can dial hot lines!
Every Day Trump Proves He Is The Original..
Irrelevant. Forbes that is.
He did not suggest that. Read the transcript, you have joined FAKE NEWS. That is a shame, and shame on you.
It was not a suggestion it was a question. Science dropped the ball. If realDonaldTrump had asked if it was time to stop mitigation, they would have fought each other to get to the mike. Listen to DrOz when he is interviewed. He never lets a possible misconstruction slip by.
The disinfectant he spoke about is from a current medical procedure that has been in use for years, not lysol or Clorox. That was pelosi
This is SPIN he did not say that,
fake president
Shame on you. This is petty foolishness.
🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐑
Is there a spike? Or was the tide pod crowd already trying this?
He never said that. It was the media who said it.
That's not what he said and you know it, but since you lack journalistic integrity we know you dont give a rip.
Out of context!
Twisting the news to suit your narrative is another big lie.
More
am sure those who drank voted for him.
This headline is disingenuous. Poisonings related to household cleaners (i.e. disinfectants) are up 20% ths year bc of COVID-19.
What bullshit.
How could this be? You have to keep Clorox at arm's length to use because the compound is so stringent...I need profile and voting tradition of these ppl..
FakeNewsMedia
Rise in people ingesting household disinfectants is clearly due to Trump’s off the cuff satirical comment, not the Media’s viral response to the comment that kept something that should have died immediately on the vine going for over a week nationally. Got it. 😀👍
Don’t give them a click for this lying headline.
Your headline is fakenews and will lead to far more deaths than a few idiots drinking fish cleaner or bleach.
Because he didn't suggest the general public ingest disinfectant. The media said that is what he said and then signal boosted that narrative.
He never said that
stupid people.... they were stupid before Trump, they will be stupid after Trump..
This is why people don't trust the fake news media. That headline alone should get whoever wrote this fired.
No normal person thought Trump was advising people to ingest disinfectant. This is yet another example of fake news
Very misleading headline. This publication is better than that.

Responsibility is a four letter word.
Try to be honest with your posts! This is beneath Forbes.
Come on, you guys too?
If people are so stupid they listen to me, that’s their problem.
Time for an article on the Roy Cohn mentorship of a Trump. People wonder how Trump became so despicable... SHOW THEM.
FROM KOOLAID TO BLEACH THE JIM JONES STRIKES AGAIN 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s because he’s not responsible.
Bullshit. Listen to what he said. Did he also say to drink fishbowl cleaner?
Now Forbes is jumping on the fake news bandwagon. He never said that!
By liberal activists - they are the only people in America who take every word Trump says literally and would be crazy enough to ingest bleach to make a political point. Remember, same Media doesn’t think legalizing drugs leads to more drug use.
After wrongly reporting he said that. The reporter removed the story, truthfully and resigned in shame
How he become the world's powerful countries president ?
He is incapable of seeing the most basic and obvious cause and effect. He is either trolling us or is mentally degraded.
Everyone knows Tide PODS are much more effective, not to mention far more aesthetically pleasing to look at.
Fake news.
The sad part is people are so stupid. Why would anyone with some common sense do this.
Report on something real. If people are starving because of this 'pandemic' why does this happen
NYC Department spokesman Pedro Frisneda told the outlet that the center had recorded nine cases during that window that were “specifically about exposure to Lysol, 10 cases specifically about bleach and 11 cases about exposures to other household cleaners.” Lefties!!!!
Are these hard numbers on this? Saying calls have spiked means nothing. If calls went from 1 to 4 that is a spike. But meaningless
Lazy headline. Lazy Journalism!!!
Forbes did you hear what he said?
You realise the shocking headline would be, 'President accepts full responsibility for his actions'.
It’s Trumpthought ..

PEOPLE MUST BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEMSELVES
What a shit headline. Hack journalism
He just needs to let the medical professionals doing the talking and get out of the way.
He's almost as big a wanker as the people who listened
