4 years ago today, Trump during his one of his covid disaster-pressers made his infamous, bonkers statement about "disinfectant" via "injection inside" being a miracle cure. But here are a couple other moments from that event you may have forgotten. (🧵) x.com/atrupar/status…

As I noted at the time, Dr. Birx, who at the time as fawning over Trump on a daily basis, couldn't hide that she was appalled when Trump directed her to investigate his wild quackery. x.com/atrupar/status…

Moments later, Trump exploded at @PhilipRucker when Rucker called him out for recommending dangerous and unproven treatments like bleach injections. "I'm here to present ideas," Trump claimed. x.com/atrupar/status…

At another moment during the briefing, Trump suggested people were going to start spending lots of time outside because of his half-baked notion that sunlight treated covid. x.com/atrupar/status…

And Trump rounded things off with some blatant lies about covid mortality in the US under his stewardship compared with other nations. x.com/atrupar/status…

For the full overview of how Trump's covid response was even worse than you remember, I strongly recommend this new piece from my newsletter, Public Notice, which has quickly become one of the most read articles on the site. publicnotice.co/p/trump-covid-…
And finally, as always, let me close by noting that we are much better off today than we were 4 years ago, when we were all locked inside while our president suggested we shoot up bleach. It's not even close. (end 🧵)
@atrupar A stupendous article. Please take the time to read it if you haven’t read it yet.
@atrupar Is it just me or did today seem sleazy even for Donald Trump?
@atrupar Love it 🇺🇸 x.com/amelia7no/stat…
@atrupar Oh, I remember everything. Those of us who lost someone in 2020 have it burned into our memories.
@atrupar In March '20, my mother's nursing home locked down. She was blind and had dementia. She got Covid the first week of Jan. '22, and I was frantically calling mortuaries in case she died. I couldn't find one to take her and when I asked what to do if she died, they said "Buy ice."
@atrupar Anyone hoping Trump gets convicted in this first case dont get your hopes up. Yesterday in Court a Juror nodded yes as Defense Lawyer said that Election Interference is part of democracy. I swear Trump has a deal with the devil. The more evil he is the more things work out.
