President Donald Trump said Friday that his remarks about whether scientists should expose the body to disinfectants as a potential COVID-19 treatment were sarcastic.
“I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen,” Trump told reporters on Friday. Trump added that he was asking experts “whether or not sun [sunlight] can help us ... sun has a massive impact negatively on this [virus]” during Thursday’s news briefing.
