NEW DELHI: US President
Joe Biden
took a swipe at
Donald Trump
, saying that he should have injected himself with bleach for suggesting that a disinfectant "injection inside" would help fight Covid 19.
Talking at an election fundraiser, he said, "Remember him saying the best thing to do is to inject a little bleach into your arm... I wish he had done it a little bit himself."
During a White House coronavirus task force briefing, President Trump had said, "...I see the disinfectant where it knocks it (the virus) out in a minute." One minute.
And is there any way we can do something similar, such as injecting inside or cleaning it? So it would be interesting to investigate that."
"We'll never forget about the pandemic. He knew (it) was serious, and he acknowledged it ... but wanted to not - just keep everybody from responding to it," Biden said.
"Not everyone is feeling the enthusiasm these days. The other day this guy walked up, and said 'I'm in real trouble, short on cash, I don't know what to do'. I said 'Donald I can't help you'," he added.
Biden is scheduled to face Trump in the November 5, 2024 presidential election, a rematch from their 2020 encounter.
