WASHINGTON ? The manufacturer of Lysol, a disinfectant spray and cleaning product, issued a statement warning against any internal use after President Donald Trump suggested that people could get an "injection" of "the disinfectant that knocks (coronavirus) out in a minute." :scared

"As a global leader in health and hygiene products, we must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion or any other route)," a spokesperson for Reckitt Benckiser, the United Kingdom-based owner of Lysol, said in a statement to NBC News.

"As with all products, our disinfectant and hygiene products should only be used as intended and in line with usage guidelines. Please read the label and safety information," the statement continued, adding that the company believes it has a "responsibility in providing consumers with access to accurate, up-to-date information as advised by leading public health experts."

William Bryan of the Department of Homeland Security said at a White House briefing Thursday that "emerging results" from new research suggest solar light has a powerful effect in killing the virus on surfaces and in the air.

But, he said, there was no consideration of internal use of disinfectants.

Top Democrats slammed Trump for the comment.

And Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., a member of House Democratic leadership, tweeted Friday morning that "something is very wrong" with the president.

At the briefing, Trump also suggested that people could be treated with "ultraviolet or just a very powerful light" to kill the virus after Bryan's presentation showed that the virus might not live as long in warmer and more humid temperatures.

Trump then also mentioned an "injection" of "disinfectant" to deter the virus.

"I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute," the president said. "And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."

White House could alter virus briefings to limit Trump role
By JONATHAN LEMIRE and JILL COLVIN, Associated Press

WASHINGTON ? For the first time, President Donald Trump cut off his daily coronavirus task force briefing on Friday without taking any questions from reporters. It may not be the last time.

There have been discussions within the White House about changing the format of the briefings to curtail the president's role, according to four White House officials and Republicans close to the White House who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. The briefings often stretch well beyond an hour and feature combative exchanges between Trump and reporters.

Trump was angry after a day of punishing headlines Friday, largely about his comment at the previous evening's briefing wondering if it would be helpful to inject disinfectant into people to fight the coronavirus. That idea drew loud warnings from health experts who said the idea was dangerous and sharp criticism from Democrats.

Trump did answer questions from reporters earlier Friday and claimed that his suggestion about disinfectant had been ?sarcastic." That doesn't square with a transcript of his remarks.

For weeks, advisers have been urging the president to scale back his appearances at the briefings, saying that he should come before the cameras only when there is major news or a positive development to discuss, according to the officials. Otherwise, they suggested, he should leave it to Vice President Mike Pence and health officials to take the lead.

Trump has been reluctant to cede the spotlight at the briefings, which are the closest thing he currently has to his beloved political rallies. He has talked up their robust television ratings and his ability to dominate the news cycle and drown out his likely general election opponent, Democrat Joe Biden.

But advisers have argued that while the briefings may appeal to his most loyal base of supporters, they could be alienating some viewers, including senior citizens worried about their health. Officials at Trump's reelection campaign have also noted a slip in Trump's support in some battleground states and have expressed concerns that the briefings, which often contain inaccurate information, may be playing a role.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said the president had taken ?countless questions? earlier in the day from reporters in the Oval Office. ?The accessibility and transparency of this President is unprecedented,? she said.

Trump, who is known for changing his mind, has not committed to any permanent change in the briefing format, the officials said.

It was unclear if Trump's decision not to take questions on Friday was connected to a kerfuffle in the briefing room moments before the task force presentation began. A White House official had asked that two reporters switch seats, which would have sent the CNN correspondent farther back in the room. CNN is a frequent target of Trump's criticism.

The reporters declined to move.

Trump grapples with a surprise threat: Too much Trump

Some allies worry the president is damaging his reelection prospects with his dominance of the briefing room during a public health and economic crisis.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/25/trump-team-2020-polling-207675

Donald Trump?s top aides are fiercely debating a question their boss rarely confronted during his decades of jousting with tabloid newspapers, starring on reality TV shows and running a media-soaked presidential campaign: whether there?s such a thing as too much Donald Trump.

A series of missteps during Trump?s handling of the coronavirus pandemic is triggering fears among some advisers that the president is damaging his reelection prospects with his communications during the crisis.

White House allies have become exasperated with his dominance at coronavirus task force briefings, a daily rundown of testing and public health updates that Trump has transformed into a performance-art version of his freewheeling ? and sometimes conspiracy-filled ? Twitter feed.

Network producers have been unable to book him on shows that might reach more swing voters, as Trump chooses to stick to late-night appearances on ?Hannity,? or virtual town halls with friendly Fox News hosts.

And health experts ? including on his own staff ? have watched in horror as he?s promoted untested cures for the deadly virus and retweeted calls for the firing of top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci.

In a matter of weeks, the coronavirus crisis has dashed the hopes of campaign advisers who had hitched Trump?s bid for a second term to a long list of accomplishments. When the strong U.S. economy came to a screeching halt in mid-March, less than two weeks after Gallup recorded Trump?s highest rating yet for his handling of the economy, the president overcompensated by deciding his own celebrity was a superior political weapon anyway.

Now aides are scrambling to find a new way forward ? one that allows Trump to appear in charge of the administration?s Covid-19 containment effort without further jeopardizing his standing with key voters, millions of whom have been reminded of the president?s divisive personality during his lengthy press conferences every night of the week.

The evolving approach was on full display Friday, when the daily coronavirus task force briefing lasted less than 30 minutes and Trump declined to field questions from journalists in the room ? a first for his own coronavirus briefings.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany noted in a tweet following the president?s abbreviated appearance that he ?took countless questions from reporters? during a bill signing in the Oval Office earlier Friday. ?Moreover, there have been 48 briefings since February 26th,? McEnany said.

But Friday?s unusually succinct update came a day after Trump ignited another controversy for suggesting that doctors should determine whether an ?injection? of household disinfectants, such as bleach and isopropyl alcohol, could be used to kill Covid-19 in humans who contract the virus. Trump later claimed he was ?asking a question sarcastically? about disinfectant on the inside.?

?I do think that disinfectant on the hands could have a very good effect,? Trump said in the Oval Office. ?But I?d like them now to look as it pertains to the human body? I?d like to look as it pertains because maybe there?s something there.?

Trump has been so eager to deliver good news to the American public, according to a senior administration official, that some White House staffers have presented their boss with upbeat findings that have yet to be vetted by task force officials, the staff secretary?s office or, in some cases, legal aides in the White House counsel?s office.

In an exchange on Thursday, Trump cited ?a very nice rumor? that heat and sunlight can kill the novel coronavirus. At previous briefings, he has also hyped the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a potential promising treatment even though its effectiveness against Covid-19 remains inconclusive.

Recently, several White House aides began urging the president to make the briefings far shorter and to only approach the podium to deliver announcements or tout victories, while leaving the technical aspects to the numerous health officials who typically join him at the dais. One Trump adviser said the ideal briefing would be 30 minutes long: 10 minutes for Trump, 10 minutes for his health officials and a final 10 minutes for questions.
After several of Trump?s briefing room appearances approached two hours in length in late March, fewer than a third of Americans said they found the updates useful, according to a poll by Business Insider.

Some task force officials have complained privately that the length of the briefings can be draining and has often left them too tired to fulfill other media opportunities that could have supported the administration?s larger cause in taming the virus.

?The president should definitely take advantage when he has something to announce, but if it?s simply a check-in from the day before, I would hand it off to the scientific folks or the economic response team,? said Jason Miller, a former Trump campaign and transition official.

Trump has resisted such advice for weeks, viewing the daily briefings as an ideal venue for him to connect with his supporters and perform his favorite tricks. In the absence of campaign rallies or other outlets for his message, Trump has used the briefings to needle his political opponents, smack reporters and air grievances about previous White House occupants, including former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

Even after campaign aides briefed him on a series of unsettling polls about his appearances, Trump continued making the case privately that his sky-high television ratings would help him trounce Biden in November, according to two people familiar with the president?s thinking. His logic failed to take into account the reality that not every American who tunes in to the nightly briefings will ultimately vote for Trump in the fall, especially suburban and female voters whom White House advisers have long worried about.

?He?s going to want to get media attention and control his message,? said Sam Nunberg, who briefly served on Trump?s 2016 campaign. ?He is the only one who thinks he can do his message the best, and that?s just the reality. That?s how he works.?
