People can’t stop talking about President Donald Trump’s thoughts on injections and ultraviolet rays treating the coronavirus. Comedian Sarah Cooper took to TikTok on April 23 and spoofed the president’s latest Covid-19 briefing.
In the clip, Cooper wore a blazer and lip-synched to Trump’s remarks regarding how injections and ultraviolet rays could kill the coronavirus. She also provided reactions from Dr. Deborah Birx, the coordinator of the White House coronavirus response. She appeared shocked during the briefing by Trump’s thoughts.
“So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just a very powerful light — and I think you said that hasn’t been checked because of the testing,” Cooper mouthed as she pointed to a lamp, as part of Trump’s briefing.

“And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that, too.” The comedian gestured to different parts of her body, implying where an injection of ultraviolet rays could go. Cooper, portraying Dr. Birx wearing a tee-shirt, seemed confused at several cuts in the clip.
He added, “I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute.” Cooper mimed this part and held a cleaning spray bottle. “And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”
“It sounds interesting to me,” Cooper concluded her charade, which was complete with hand gestures and expressions that mirrored Trump.

This really is so good, because it's funny and also because it reminds us that we'd want a psych eval on anyone else talking the way Trump does. https://t.co/U4T6lS5BJu

This photo is incredible. You can see the idea percolating in his mind. “Why has no one thought of this. The answer is right in front of us. I will say it. I’ll be the hero we need.” pic.twitter.com/4abr6rep5L
