I don’t think this is why. I’m sure trump gets tons of fanmail from quacks every day and he hates reading anyhow so...
Going by Occam’s razor, it’s far more likely trump just cranked his dunning-kruger to the max when he heard the guy say ‘disinfectant and UV light kills the virus’ and had this brilliant idea of sticking those in sick people to kill the virus.
Because if it kills the virus on your hands it will kill the virus in your lungs! YOU’RE WELCOME YOU SO-CALLED DOCTORS AND SCIENTISTS!
I literally had this idea when I was like, 7 years old. I asked "Dad, if disinfectant kills viruses, like it says on the label, is there a way to use that to cure sick people?"
I was seven years old. It's okay for me to ask something that dumb at that age.
Yeah, I don't believe that either, but who the fuck knows what's going on here? Thanks to Trump, I no longer have to look up Dunning--Kruger every time I want to reference it, and when I do, people get it.
There was an interview with the psychologist David Dunning where he mentioned (I think tongue in cheek) being vaguely horrified that his name would live on as a byword for incompetents thinking they’re competent.
