Dr. Birx Doesn't Look Like She Thinks Trump is Being Sarcastic

After President Trump stunned America and the world by suggesting COVID-19 could be knocked out by injections of disinfectant, his apologists tried to tell us he didn't really make any such suggestion. Case in point is Joel Pollak of Breitbart:

Trump used the word “inject,” but what he meant was using a process — which he left “medical doctors” to define — in which patients’ lungs might be cleared of the virus, given new knowledge about its response to light and other factors.

Except that Pollak and Breitbart didn't get the White House talking points. While signing a new COVID-19 relief package passed by Congress, Trump claimed he was being sarcastic:

I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters just like you, just to see what would happen. I was asking a sarcastic and a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside. But it does kill it and it would kill it on the hands, and it would make things much better.

When someone is engaging in sarcasm it is clear to the listener and/or viewer. When I watched the video of Trump's statement I didn't hear a hint of sarcasm in his voice. I don't think Dr. Deborah Birx of the White House Coronavirus Response Task Force thought he was being sarcastic either. The look on her face says it all.
