I think this is the full quote. What context should it be read?
"So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous - whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light," the president said, turning to Dr Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, "and I think you said that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it.
"And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're going to test that too. Sounds interesting," the president continued.
"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?
"So it'd be interesting to check that."
Pointing to his head, Mr Trump went on: "I'm not a doctor. But I'm, like, a person that has a good you-know-what."

Here's the original article by Pollack and please note the update on Breitbart (bolding is mine):
This piece was erroneously framed by our author as a “fact check,” when, instead, it was and should have been framed as an opinion piece. The opinion that the author was trying to convey was his belief that nobody in their right mind would think that Trump was literally suggesting that people should inject disinfectant into their bodies – which is how many in the media were portraying the President’s comments at yesterday’s press conference. The piece has been re-framed as it should have been originally (as opinion), and further updated to reflect President Trump’s statement this morning that he was being sarcastic. We apologize for the error, and you are welcome for all the opportunities to dunk on us on Twitter.
Me: The article is correct. No one in their right mind would believe this. It has to be a work of fiction. But, going to the videotape verifies the authenticity. I humble believe no one in their right mind would suggest it. He claims it was sarcasm, but let's go return to the videotape.
Why can't he just say "I fucked up. It was a stupid thing to say."? I'd have some respect if he would do that every now and them.

At least post Tomi Lahren, she's more pleasing to the eyes.

Whether he was being sarcastic (bullshit) or not, people listen to their leaders, no matter what comes out of their mouths.

That is one of the key points that the hardcore supporters try to ignore.
A president can joke and jest in other situations... but especially in briefings, in times of pandemics, presidents don't get to pull jokes or babblöe freestyle, like, sadly, this one keeps doing.
Plus his continued refusal to accept responsibility, which is the core presidential issue, shows he is just trying to accept things going well.
Bottom line: Specious, vague, and incomplete medical speculation doesn't belong anywhere near a press conference.
My God, look a that man's face ! He's the male equivalent of Cher : a walking esthetic surgeryu catalogue 🙄
