context-what-donald-trump-said-about-disinfectant-/

* The briefing transcript shows that Trump did not say people should inject themselves with bleach or alcohol to treat the coronavirus. He was asking officials on the White House coronavirus task force whether they could be used in potential cures.

"He didn't tell people to inject bleach, he just pitched the idea to one of his science advisors in a public setting where he did not in any way clarify that he had no idea whether or not it was a stupid idea."

It's not completely the same, no, but characterizing that as "suggesting people inject bleach" is close enough for colloquial conversation. He said something monumentally stupid in a context where it stood a good chance of being taken as legitimate advice by similarly-stupid people.
