President Trump's comments on medical studies and advice have put his coronavirus team's medical experts in awkward positions, leading to what some describe as a baffling conundrum of when and how to publicly correct potentially dangerous misinformation

This week alone, doctors on Trump's task force have gently walked back his proposition that subjecting the body to sunlight could act as a treatment for the virus. They've been more forceful in rejecting the suggestion of ingesting disinfectant. Earlier, a member of his team cast doubt on the country's testing capacity. And multiple officials indicated the virus would likely return in the fall, even though Trump said it may not.

Trump says he disagrees with Dr. Fauci on testing 02:01Some of the experts on Trump's task force are concerned if they speak out too forcefully in opposition to what Trump is saying they could be removed from the effort to combat the virus, according to people familiar with the matter.How each medical expert approaches the situation has differed.

If you have to be told not to ingest poison then you are a child that does not yet understand that it will hurt you. Why would the medical team find it awkward?

Cure it by getting rid of CNN’s reporters. They deliberately misreport everything.

You guys put out more dangerous information than anyone!

FakeNewsCNN takenoutofcontext

CNN is 100% correct! Now nobody really knows how fucken stupid Americans are. Once you nominate a guy with Dementia for President is there really a bottom? Even drinking Draino is possible.

How about right then and there? Stating very clearly that what he is saying is wrong and dangerous? GROW A FUCKING PAIR.

TRUMP IS THE DUMBEST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY

Should Clorox issue a statement not to take Clorox baths. Where did they learn this. Who approved

When you react like that I was joking. I know people are dying and I am doing an amazing job.

Do you think the majority of Americans are going to take the statement that literal and are not intelligent enough to not drink Clorox? I think we are a bit smarter than that.

You look so uncomfortable 🤭

Wait while open another block of Cheese and Box of Crackers before popping that Bottle of Whine open CNN......

It's unbelievable that no one heard him say 'SOMETHING LIKE THAT' can you imagine the faces on those in the room when radiation and chemotherapy were recommended for cancer treatment? He is just trying to find solutions obviously knows you can't inject that shit! realDonaldTrump

Nothing awkward about it. If it’s wrong call it out. Have some principles FFS.

To stand up and speak out against dangerous medical advice and falsehoods is not a conundrum. It’s a duty physicians are sworn to uphold.

25th amendment solution

Is this what you are worried about? putting medical experts in awkward positions? or realize that the person responsible for the nuclear 'button' might indeed suffer serious mental derangement?

HEY LOOK AT THIS IT IS PERFECT.

not his fault if nobody listens but is out to hate... HillaryClinton etc. Their fault for twisting te words..

Why don't you talk about your role in covering up for Joey Biden & silencing (one of) his victims? It's not bad enough that you let him off the hook for selling political favoritism to all of our enemies abroad Iraq, China, Ukraine.. billions.

Just say it. What are you afraid of? Either don't give him airtime. Edit dangerous misinformation. Or publish what he said but don't leave it there like stenographers. When one person says it's raining, another says it's sunny, it's the reporter's job to look out of the window.

The look on her face when she realized this lunatic publicly ruined her career and credibility!!

dearleader

I find it amusing when he stands at the podium looking..speaking DUMB...next to highly intelligent people. How do they keep a straight face...when he speaks?

Im sure the woman who wears thousand-dollar Hermes scarves every day knows exactly what's best for the millions who lost their jobs and can't eat.
