He accidentally told the truth in the middle of his lie

Not that we need any more confirmation that he's lying...

The confession comes around the 1 minute mark.



A lot of people are taking it. A lot of frontline workers are taking hydroxychloroquine. A lot of front- — I don’t take it because — hey, people said, “Oh, maybe he owns the company.”


That's a classic example of how trump recovers from gaffes / blunders--he tries to blend it in as smoothly as possible so that his acolytes won't realize he made a mistake.

Great catch.

I'm leaning towards the belief he is taking it, but plenty of really smart people don't believe him. So I'm likely wrong on this one.

He’s always been Relatively able to smoothly compensate his gaffes but it isn’t working for him anymore. I’m convinced he’s losing his mental abilities even though he was never good at them to start with. It’s just more obvious now.
