During the COVID pandemic, Donald Trump said many unforgettable things. Perhaps his most memorable line came during his daily press "briefing," during which he quizzed one of the scientists who had told him that household disinfectant could kill the virus on surfaces, saying he could "see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?"
It was absurd, needless to say, and caused a nationwide frenzy, including many hilarious comedic takes. He abandoned the briefings after that, finally taking his advisers' advice that they were hurting his re-election campaign. (They were also hurting the country, which was terrified that such a ridiculous figure was in charge during a global health emergency.)
