The Genesis II Church of Health and Healing has been claiming chlorine dioxide is a "miracle cure".
For years it has sold the industrial bleach as Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS), stating it can cure things like autism, acne, cancer, diabetes and now COVID-19.
[...] Following an investigation [...] last week, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) today announced it had issued 12 infringement notices totalling $151,200 to MMS Australia for alleged unlawful advertising of Miracle Mineral Solution and other medicines.
... still a long way to injecting it, right? But maybe that's for The Genesis III Church of Health and Healing

No. Just, no.
I understand you were responding to what DannyB said. But both of you are wrong.
Every President has had his share of persons who will detract and hate every single thing the President does. There have been a vocal minority who have criticized every single action of any given President. There always will be. There will also always be people a minority who unconditionally support the person holding the office of President, and feel the President can do no wrong. It does seem to me that this minority is larger for Trump than it has been for others, but I might be wrong. At any rate, I don't see that you were the person Danny was describing. Maybe you are, but I don't see that. However, you did take the glass slipper and try it on.
Let's try something else instead.
Trump is the first President in my memory who absolutely refuses to acknowledge anything he ever does is wrong. Show me one time Trump has come back after being corrected and said, "Yes, I was wrong about that, sorry." You will not find it. That's because this behavior is a symptom. Not a symptom of a made-up condition TDS, but a very real part of the clinical pathology of someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder [mayoclinic.org]. It isn't about the truth of any situation, it is that Donald Trump is clinically incapable of acknowledging fault publicly, and most likely incapable of acknowledging it to himself.
This isn't about you, Runaway. This is about Trump, and Trump having a mental disability that makes it impossible for him to objectively govern as President. This is about Trump's vanity and need for praise. This is about Trump's personalizing any criticism. This is about having a mentally unstable person sitting in the Oval Office, and not in some kind of, "Well, everybody is a little crazy," sort of way but in a literally having a mental condition that he must have his vanity satisfied by others or he will lash out.
And yes, every single thing he says or does I view in light of that realization. It does make every single thing he says or does suspect as to whether it is correct, because every single thing he says or does is calculated by him to make himself appear to be better, no matter what the objective truth is. It means nothing, absolutely nothing, he says is trustworthy by itself. It means nothing he chooses to do is possible to accept at face value that it will benefit someone else without first bringing benefit to Trump. It means he feels he can do no wrong and is not responsible to anybody but himself, and that is an extremely dangerous place to someone who is supposed to be the chief public servant of the country.
This is different from every other President I have known in my lifetime. And I will feel fortunate if his term ends, whether next year or five years from now, without him blundering the United States into a major war or burning the planet down to a nuclear cinder just to save his ego.
If you think that's TDS, make the most of it. Me, I think it's a reasonable fear against having a mentally unfit individual sitting in the Oval Office.

The last time I heard anything that resembled "the buck stops here" was Reagan. When our boys were killed in Beruit City by a truck bomb, Reagan took responsibility, and promised to fix the situation. Not one president since has been so bold as to accept responsibility. Not one.
