WASHINGTON, DC: President Joe Biden received considerable laughter during an event where he was endorsed by North America’s Building Trades Union on Wednesday, April 24, after delivering a particularly personal jab at former President Donald Trump, according to HuffPost.

He said, "By the way, remember when he was trying to deal with COVID, he suggested just inject a little bleach in your veins? He missed. It all went to his hair."

Biden added as the people continued to laugh, "I shouldn’t have said that." Although he never explicitly advocated injecting bleach, Trump very nearly did so in the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak."



 

In April 2020, Trump said, "And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute — one minute — and is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."

The statement by the former President prompted many disinfectant manufacturers to release comments cautioning customers against using their products in that manner.

To achieve a lighter hair color, bleach is often utilized. During his time hosting 'The Apprentice', Trump reportedly deducted $70,000 in hairstyling expenses, as revealed by tax records obtained by The New York Times in 2020.

According to an anecdote shared by actor Seth Rogen, the former president allegedly told porn star Stormy Daniels that, similar to Samson in the Bible, his power derived from his hair, and losing it would result in a loss of power.

Significantly, as part of a criminal prosecution concerning payments of hush money to Stormy Daniels, who alleges to have had an affair with Trump in 2006, Trump is currently on trial in New York City.
