President Donald Trump s golf company posted a YouTube video of PGA player John Daly touting vodka as a cure for COVID-19 earlier this month.
After reports of the tweet appeared in the media, Daly said Monday that the video was done in fun, angrily adding: Grow up, reporters.
Trump Golf s tweet sharing Dalys video is still up. John, thank you for the friendship. Everyone at Trump Golf loves you, the golf companys message reads. It ends with the hashtag stay safe.
Daly begins the video by plugging all the Trump golf courses and offering some words of encouragement before announcing: I kinda got a cure for COVID-19. He says he only drinks one drink a day, then holds up a full bottle of Belvedere Vodka and a cup of McDonalds Diet Coke to sip it with.
And thats the way you kill this coronavirus, I believe, he adds. Be safe, yall.
A big thank you to @PGA_JohnDaly who has always been one of our biggest fans. John thank you for the friendship. Everyone at @TrumpGolf truly loves you! #StaySafe #AmericaTogether pic.twitter.com/coWifMSa3W

Daly lashed out after the video was first reported Sunday in Golfweek, which called the PGA player either ignorant or responsible for a lame attempt at humor.
WHO really did a lot for us didnt they? Grow up reporters, I did a video for fun to put some laughter in us through this tough time! Yall are a joke!

Dalys message, even if it was meant in jest, is a potentially dangerous one, with the added weight of being promoted by a brand owned by the president. The crackpot theory circulating on social media that liquor is a coronavirus cure has made the World Health Organization s myth-busters site .
In fact, alcohol consumption can make people even more vulnerable to COVID-19 because it can weaken the immune system , experts have warned. Consuming alcohol will not destroy the virus, and its consumption is likely to increase the health risks if a person becomes infected with the virus, says a WHO fact sheet .
Twitter followers were stunned. One said she reported the tweet to Twitter for promoting a false coronavirus cure , and another quipped that Daly could soon be added to the presidents coronavirus response team.
Over 15,000 Americans have died, but as w/ everything trump, heres @TrumpGolf promoting an old white man that looks more dead than alive, telling everyone that drinking a bottle of vodka a-day, a sippy, sippy at a time, washed down with Diet Coke is a way to fight corona. pic.twitter.com/O3PnAV9Zvt
