Michigan's and Maryland's governors said the president should watch what he says, especially about injecting disinfectants. People are listening to his direction.
President Donald Trump suggested at his Thursday briefing that disinfectants could work as a coronavirus treatment if taken internally, drawing immediate criticism from medical professionals and cleaning product manufacturers, . A day later, Trump said he never meant his remarks to be taken seriously: "That was done in the form of a sarcastic question to the reporters."
On Sunday, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, said on ABC's "This Week" that whether or not Trump was being serious, his suggestion had an impact.
