Do you believe Trump isn't getting a cut from the company that makes it?
It's name is hydroxychloroquine and it's already killed many people with heart problems and other ailments.
If he can prove that he's taking daily doses of it, I'll eat shit on a float at the Macy's Day Parade.
The prick-in-chief really doesn't give a shit who dies, as long as he can profit from it.
Trump has earned his way into the league of Hitler, Mussolini, Genghis Kahn, Caligula, Vlad the Impaler, and every other historic villain. The damn thing is that he's not done yet.

I wish he was taking it

"i use it every day"
how many times have we heard this kind of endorsement from people who never heard of the product they're touting but are paid to say so?

(1,979 posts)But having said that - why don't the reporters DIRECTLY ask his medical team the next time they are trotted out on the stage?
Confront the lies and they will collapse. Make the truth be the news by getting it out on national television.
What he puts out there is utter nonsense, but he is hoping that if even a small portion of the lies stick, he may have a chance in November. Its like he is grabbing a inner tube while watching ahurricane approach.

(3,445 posts)And he's coerced his doctor into make a statement that he's taking it.
Why would it be any different? This is the way he is.

Doctors are lying to him

(8,207 posts)He was trying to link himself to doctors, nurses and other front line workers after claiming they were taking it.
I think it was just off-the-cuff self-aggrandizement and that he didn't realize would become a major news story.

(25,983 posts)Every time anyone bothers to talk about it is less time talking about the real shit going on - Pompeo and secret arms sales to Saudi Arabia, FEMA stealing and Kushner grifting medical supplies, the Senate ignoring calls for more aid while they plan to push through judicial appointments instead, what the heck Bill Barr is up to, Lindsey Graham's latest kangaroo court antics, and on and on.
trump is waving a big shiny "LOOK HERE!" sign and every single thread (of dozens in less than 24 hours) about his latest lie plays right into WHAT HE WANTS, which is to talk about the lie and not the important stuff.
Why are you doing what he wants? Stop it. Please.
I believe nothing he says. Nothing. I would have to question the shape of Earth if he said it was round.

(1,442 posts)Turd lies so much that if he announced, "The Sun is going to rise in the East tomorrow morning," I would have to think about it for a while, before I would accept the statement as being true.

(11,686 posts)I think not. If the doctor was supposed to give that to trump because trump told him to then if trump dies the doctor would spend the rest of his life in prison for giving it to him.
Trump is just trying to make money. Thank goodness it is more likely his base that are the ones who will be killing themselves. Leave a larger number of the smart people to vote against him.
