America’s mainstream media has gone “feral” by deliberately twisting President Donald Trump’s words during his latest COVID-19 press conferences, according to Outsiders host James Morrow.

President Trump has been rebuked by the media and medical groups after he asked Bill Bryan, an undersecretary at the Homeland Security Department, whether authorities should investigate whether some form of disinfectant could combat the deadly disease.

Mr Morrow said this incident “is the dumbest scandal of all time.”

“Listen to what Donald Trump said, he did not say people should inject themselves with disinfectant, he did not say you should gargle with a glen 20, wash down dinner with a shot of toilet duck, drink the Dettol, inject the ajax, nibble the napisan or devour the dishwashing chip.”

“Frankly, at this stage of the crisis, I’m not sure these briefings Trump holds are the best use of the President’s time.

“He ends sparring with a press pack of nitwits who are looking for their 15 seconds of Twitter fame.”
