Trump's hydroxychloroquine claim is no different from what he has always done.
Whether he grossly exaggerates or lies about his achievements, his health or political opponents, each time a claim is thrown into question in a high-profile way, he has to double down and provide evidence that he thinks shows he is right.
A letter from a doctor that he dictated himself, fake financial statements, reference to "many other people" who have told him a fiction, a sharpie to change the projection of a hurricane, a doctored photo to prove he had the biggest inauguration crowd ever, a fake commission that was going to prove he was right about voter fraud that favored Democrats, fake investigators who were going to prove Obama wasn't born in America - he knows that by providing more fake evidence to support his untruths, he always gets away with it and avoids humiliation.
To Trump, falsely claiming that he is taking hydroxychloroquine
proves to everyone that he is right, after Dr Fauci and even Fox News have warned against it. He thinks that it proves to others that it is safe. He is right and they are all wrong and here's the proof. To paraphrase: "I am taking it and a lot of the front-line medical staff are taking it, so I must be right." The (fake) fact that he is willing to take it himself, proves it must be okay.
In fact, it makes him look more ridiculous, in the same way that using a sharpie to alter the projection of a hurricane made him look ridiculous, but his self-awareness is fading fast. His vanity means he can never admit he is wrong. It just isn't an option. After a lifetime of telling lies, that will never change. And after a lifetime of grifting, you can bet he's somehow wanting to profit from it.
