MSNBC: Trump: 'I've been taking hydroxychloroquine for a couple of weeks'

Wow, I almost didn't believe it. "For whatever it's worth, I take it..." They asked did White House Doctors recommend it, to which he replied, ".. He didn't recommend it, ... I said what do you think, he said, well, if you like it, I said, yeah, I'd like it...."

Reporter: "Can you explain, Sir, what is the evidence it has preventative effects?"
Trump: "Here we go, are you ready? Here's my evidence, I get a lot of positive calls about it..."

source youtube/TRUMP TAKES Hydroxychloroquine: President Trump Says He Takes Preventive Measures

This after numerous studies debunked efficacy.
Just Wow.

It is highly likely. He has a financial interest in a maker of this drug, Sanofi, & Bayer was said to have donated millions of doses to the national stockpile. It's his way of scoring political points, IMO.

^^A big fat lie!^^


Mostly False!!

U.S. President Donald Trump earns some income from three family trusts that are administered independently by J.P. Morgan, an investment bank and wealth-management firm. These trusts are in part invested in mutual funds that themselves are partially invested in companies that produce hydroxychloroquine.


Trump’s financial stake in these companies is virtually negligible — contained indirectly via mutual funds — and administered through three family trusts he does not control. As a generic drug, hydroxychloroquine is unlikely to provide any one company with significant profits compared to other proprietary drugs.


Does Trump Benefit Financially by Promoting Hydroxychloroquine as COVID-19 Treatment?

Just now on MSNBC, Trump stated that he's 'been taking hydroxychloroquine for a couple of weeks.' This is the same pathological liar who advocated injecting Lysol & bleach to kill the coronavirus. He's racked up something like 18,000 documented lies in 3.5 years so why are we to believe that he's taking this drug prophylacticaly?

wait, Trump has been taking them as suppositories..
 
"“I happen to be taking it,” Trump said during a roundtable event at the White House. “A lot of good things have come out. You’d be surprised at how many people are taking it, especially the front-line workers. Before you catch it. The front-line workers, many, many are taking it.”

He added: “I’m taking it, hydroxychlororquine. Right now, yeah. Couple of weeks ago, I started taking it. Cause I think it’s good, I’ve heard a lot of good stories.”"

He said he doesn’t own stock in the company that produces the drug, adding he wants “the people of this nation to feel good.”
“I don’t want them feeling sick. And there’s a very good chance that this has an impact, especially early on,” he said. “I take a pill every day. At some point I’ll stop. What I’d like to is I’d like to have the cure and or the vaccine and that’ll happen I think very soon.”

Trump says he takes unproven hydroxychloroquine to prevent coronavirus infection

wonder if he tested positive and he is one of the lucky ones that is having a mild symptoms from CV18

Such Trump butt-hurt that you would need to embellish the truth.

I doubt that his doctor would have told him it was okay to take as he stated,
 
Can you people please start spitting up some facts? If you want to get together and vent about Trump, create a Trump-venting thread

Are you 100% sure POTUS didn't say that he's self treating himself? Or do you ALSO make up crap like your hero?

Trump says he is taking hydroxychloroquine as hedge against virus

The Moron President is also helping to reduce our popoulation with his unmatched stupidity. Do you ignore this as well??

Try to comprehend, will you? I referred to "... who advocated injecting Lysol & bleach ..." which I marked in bold in the post I was responding to.

Burr and Loeffler have nothing on Trump and Kushner. This is also designed to divert the oxygen in the air away from: Pompeo with multiple scandals especially Saudi arms sales, his economic collapse, the four IGs and Bright, his epic health failure. Is it any wonder Trump’s clientele doesn’t take any sFety precautions.
 
Watch your fish tanks carefully. Put up cameras, please. Wake me up when we know for sure why he does it.

He has a financial interest through the Trump Org, though I'm not sure how large the stake.

He doesn't make it easy to follow his train of thought when he circles the airport 20 times before bringing in the landing.
Who can keep up?

PolitiFact | Trump has a tiny financial stake in a company that manufactures hydroxychloroquine

Trump has a small stake through a mutual fund in Sanofi, a French company that makes hydroxychloroquine.

The president’s holdings in Sanofi are valued at up to $1,500, meaning he would not stand to profit much from the company’s stock performance.

Experts told us that Trump’s holdings do not violate federal conflict of interest laws.

The bolded might be my guess. Unless the virus hitting so close to home panicked him?

He has the right to take that drug. His decision was made with his private physician.

Why does his telling us what he is taking bother you?
