I wonder what sort of effect this episode is going to have on Trump's supporters.
He's always been able to deflect things before by saying he's been quoted out of context or was only joking or something, but here he is, in the middle of a huge public health crisis, completely and embarrassingly out of his depth, while happily burbling on like a complete imbecile about the possible medical benefits of injecting yourself with bleach.
That's difficult to spin, and his performance the following day, trying to tell reporters it was a sarcastic reply to a reporter who wasn't even there, when the video shows him addressing not the journalists but his own medical advisors about his brilliant new idea simply made a bad situation worse.
I think he's going to find that one hard to live down, and surely it has to dent their confidence in his infallibility, particularly, while it may be one thing to laugh while he upsets the opposition by speaking and acting outrageously, it's quite another to realise he actually means half of it, and he's really not the kind of man you want to have torely on in such an unprecedented crisis.
