I was simply pointing out that there is stuff out there and a huge part of the population that don't think they're superior mentally to everyone else would have wondered the exact same thing.

Funny part is that the UV thing is actually "real" in that there's been work done on using UV light internally prior to Covid. It's actually a very old thing that's come and gone over the decades. eg:

Dude, really? This is from April... I had all but forgotten about it because Trump has said a hundred or so dumb things since then.
But let's take a closer look just for fun.
First of all, the abstract for the poster presentation (yes, its a poster) that you linked is titled this:
Internally Applied Ultraviolet Light as A Novel Approach for Effective and Safe Anti-Microbial Treatment
The coronavirus is a virus, not a bacteria. There's actually zero research that shows ultraviolet light treatment is good for treating viruses in humans, or other living animals.
I looked into it a bit and it gets way weirder. The authors of the poster work for Atyu Bioscience, which came up with "Healight Platform Technology" -- a light stick that you shove down your trachea to kill the virus.

Adams and several other right-wing personalities floated the possibility that Trump had read a news release from Aytu Bioscience, a publicly traded biotech company based out of Colorado, announcing a partnership with Cedars-Sinai, a top medical research center, to work on a therapy that involved treating coronavirus patients via injecting UV-A rays, a subspectrum of ultraviolet light, into the lungs via a catheter tube.
The news release was packed with extensive legal disclaimers cautioning that any forward-looking statements indicating excitement were “just predictions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual events or results to differ materially.”
In a statement, a spokesperson for Cedars-Sinai said the technology was in the preclinical phase: “The technology has not been tested or used on patients.”

So, no, its never been shown to be effective in treating viruses in vivo - let alone coronavirus.
I mean, you can read through the patent for the device if you want -- no mention of it being used to treat respiratory viruses at all. Just a quacky idea repurposed to cash in on the coronavirus craze. Here's what the CEO tweeted the day after Trump's words:

Hmm....
"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. 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...
I see the disinfectant that 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? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."
- Donald J. Trump, inventor, very stable genius.

Sorry not really a meme, but Trump did make an appearance as a cardboard fan in the football match between
Exeter v Northampton Town last night !
He was supporting Exeter - they lost 4-0

Now there we have unique take on what Trump would describe as fake news because surely that is nothing like him and some conspiracy it going on.
This is perhaps the most bizarre Trump meme posted yet. Good job. Definitely wins an award in some category. Best Trump Shaped Out of Meat Award.
Here's the runner up:
