Hollywood celebrities couldn’t resist freaking out after President Donald Trump made a surprise announcement Monday that he is taking hydroxychloroquine with zinc. The commander in chief said that he has been taking the anti-malaria drug for more than a week under his physician’s care and so far feels fine.

Even the left-wing Snopes has debunked claims that the president owns a financial stake in the drugmaker. But that didn’t stop financially illiterate Hollywood stars from resurrecting the hoary claim on Tuesday to smear the president.
Barbra Streisand led the social media charge, implying that President Trump is taking the drug for financial gain.
@BarbraStreisand Trump says he’s now taking hydroxychloroquine. He might be lying but could it be because he has a small stake in the company Sanofi who owns it? That’s according to Forbes this past April…
Mia Farrow also implied that the president has ulterior motives for mentioning hydroxychloroquine. Actor Adam Goldberg echoed the sentiment, wrongly claiming that Trump is an “investor.”
@MiaFarrow
I dont believe Trump’s claim that he is taking hydroxychloroquine. What doctor would prescribe it for an older, obese guy with a heart problem? It is ineffective in preventing coronavirus and increases rate of cardiac arrhythmia. My question is.why is he pushing it?
@TheAdamGoldberg
He's an investor.
Bette Midler tweeted that the drug has been shown to be “completely ineffective” to combat COVID-19, despite medical evidence showing that some patients have recovered quickly after taking the drug.
@BetteMidler
The president says he’s taking hydroxychloroquine to protect himself from Covid-19, even though it’s been shown to be completely ineffective. Side effects are paranoia, hallucinations & psychosis. I guess he’s been taking it for YEARS!

I’m sure he doesn’t have heart problems. She was just throwing mud on the wall to see if anything would stick.
President Trump has traveled as president to India, Afghanistan, China, North Korea, South Korea, The Philippines, Saudi Arabia, and Vietnam. All of these countries have malaria in some part or other of their countries.
Does anyone believe he did not take prophylactic measures to stay malaria free?

That is EXACTLY what this is about THEY don’t want this to end THEY don’t want people to get better OR prevent people from getting it at all!!
Of course they are. Does anyone really believe these elitist snobs "care" about the little people, who would benefit the most from this low cost widely available drug, that POTUS told us about?
They hate President Trump because he's showing everyone just how awful these people really are. Not to mention he's bringing down their corrupt schemes.
Why is Streisand still in the USA? I though she was going to leave if Trump got elected. A lot of people voted for Trump because she was going to leave the USA.
