Pro Tip: If you find yourself bleating, "But he literally said that," you are demonstrating that you don't understand how words work. Meaning requires context. It never matters what someone LITERALLY said. It only matters what they meant, which context can help you discern.

I watched the full briefing and saw the words spoken in context. He literally said it and meant it. And it was disastrously dumb.

“Literally said it” is how you signal that you don’t know how words work. In context, it was obvious he was not talking about mainlining Clorox and Lysol. You are not that dumb.

I’ll clarify the comment: I saw the full briefing and watched his words spoken in context. He meant what he said literally, not sarcastically. And it was disastrously dumb. You know it but defend the indefensible anyway. No matter; history is rarely kind to imbecility.

Your public declaration that you can read the mind of a stranger, and you saw 2+2=9 in there, is noted. I will perform the same feat of magic and declare that I can read your mind and you are not so dumb as to think a president publicly recommended drinking Clorox. Am I wrong?

CNN is reporting it as “ingesting.” Are you calling them fake news?
