Biden Mocks Trump For Telling Americans To Inject Themselves With ‘Bleach,’ Says ‘It All Went To His Hair’

President Joe Biden mocked Donald Trump for suggesting Americans inject themselves with bleach during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“And remember when he was trying to deal with [Covid-19]?” Biden asked during the 2024 North America’s Building Trades Unions conference. “He said just inject a little bleach in your veins. He missed—it all went to his hair.”

“Look, I shouldn’t have said that,” he added. “I probably shouldn’t have said that. You guys are a bad influence on me.”

But the mockery didn’t end there. “Don’t inject bleach,” the president stated in X’s post after the speech. “And don’t vote for the guy who told you to inject bleach.”

The president’s comments about Trump come as Tuesday marked four years since the former president made the false and widely criticized recommendation that Covid-19 could be treated with bleach.

At one point during a press conference on April 23, 2020, Trump asked the White House Covid-19 task force to investigate if a disinfectant could be injected as a treatment for Covid-19 victims. 

His comments, which did not specify the kind of disinfectant, came after a Department of Homeland Security presentation on early research indicating that Covid-19 might be killed in sunlight.

“A question that – probably – some of you are thinking of – if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting,” Trump mentioned. “So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous – whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light. And I think you said that has him inject – but you’re going to test it – and then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body. You can – which you can do, either through the skin or in some other way.”

“And I think you said you’re going to test that too,” he added. “Sounds interesting.”

“And then I see the disinfectant—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 because you see it gets on the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs,” Trump stated.

“So it’d be interesting to check that,” the former president declared. So you’re gonna have to use medical doctors with—but it sounds interesting to me. So we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light—the way it kills it in one minute—that’s pretty powerful.” 

Biden has enjoyed mocking Trump repeatedly lately. 

On March 21, Biden’s campaign insulted Trump in an email by calling him “Broke Don.”

In public election filings, numbers showed that the former president’s campaign had raised just $10.9 million in February and $11 million through his joint fundraising committee. During March, his campaign held $42 million in cash.

Bident’s campaign raised almost $53 million in the same month. At that point, the campaign had $155 million in cash, almost four times the amount that Trump’s campaign had.

On March 24, Biden mocked Trump in an X post for bragging on Truth Social about how he won two golf trophies during an awards ceremony at the Trump International Golf Club the previous weekend.
