Remember The Fish-Tank Cleaner Drinkers...

Seems the homicide police are investigating.
And Trump isn't the suspect.

is his name a spoonerism?

Just another of life's coincidences, perhaps, along with signs of a 40% spike in disinfectant-related cases.

Being treated as a domestos then?

His wife was named Wanda. There was a John Cleese film of that title but I can't plaice the full title. It sounds fishy.

There was only one person she hated more than Trump, her husband.

Its no good on an empty stomach.

To be fair, there's a secondary problem here. If the POTUS speculates about a "treatment" that turns out to be dangerous then it's still other people's fault if they are stupid enough to take it seriously. It should be common sense that drinking, injecting oneself with, or washing one's hand's in bleach or similar products is just plain stupid. It's disappointing that Trump wondered aloud about it, but the people who took it seriously are the ones ultimately to blame.

Trump and Harpic: clean round the bend.

I don't think you quite get it, Jim. Anybody can be deliberately poisoned, including you. You don't have to be thick or naive.

Lol!

I don't doubt there are a few other bad things in the USA that Trump isn't suspected of being responsible for. I can't think of any offhand, but I am sure there are some.

[jim360]

I was referring to the broader problem of an increase in disinfectant-related medical calls. This individual case remains to be investigated. It's true that a conspiring so-and-so might have used the HCQ news as an excuse to cover their murder, but it still may have been an accident from people taking something seriously that they should not have. Time alone will tell in *this* case but on its own, by definition, it can't destroy the overall picture.

Not necessarily homicide at this point, merely normal procedure. Presumably an ongoing story, but neither side should be too quick to pre-empt the investigation.
