Trump on Thursday rebuffed health experts for his bizarre and unrealistic advice, appealing to people not to listen to the president’s ‘dangerous’ advice.

US news website The Hill quoted Trump as saying, “But it definitely kills the virus, and it can kill the virus on the hands, and it will make things a lot better.” This was done as a satirical question to reporters.
