President Donald Trump told reporters the nation has ordered 'millions' of units of the drug 'cloroquine' that he said he has a 'feeling' will be effective against the coronavirus.
'We ordered them. We have millions of units ordered,' Trump said, name checking the German manufacturer Bayer, which he called a 'great company.'
'Millions of units are ordered and were going to see what happens,' Trump said.
Trump and health officials referenced the drug yesterday as among those having promising potential to alleviate those suffering from the coronavirus although Trump was immediately contradicted on claims that it was ready for use.

There would obviously be no studies that prove it work at this point, since the virus is new. But I assume this drug has been around for years so it’s been proven safe?
Fauci took issue with Trump even while claiming he wasnt
The headline is false. Fauci said that the malaria drug could work but it takes a long clinical testing to validate the cure.
Nonsense.
In my opinion,, Fauci was miffed at the President and the reporters. Seemed to be exasperated.
Fauci isn’t the best communicator.
He’s not teaching a regulatory science class, which is essentially how he responded.
I Knew this was gonna happen when i heard all those cameras clicking madly when he was answering that question- I knew they would use an ‘angry photo’ to attack Trump with, and sure enough, here it is-
Fauci should go back to Italy.
Our entire nation should be angry with reporters.
The best joke of the Trump era that I have heard -
Donald Trump goes to the zoo and he is near the cage with lions when a little girl crawls through the fence and enters the cage. A lion starts towards her growling hungrily.
President Trump leaps into the enclosure, punches the lion on the nose, and grabs the little girl safely returning her to the arms of her panicked mother.
New York Times headline - President assaults an African immigrant and steals his lunch.
"Explodes" no...I watched it. He called them out for their absolute lying and spinning. The room needs a bouncer to toss these bozos out when they act up.
explodes??
Those of us that actually watched the press conference know that The President did not “explode”.
And that the target of his ire was the idiot reporters and their “questions” which were just thinly-veiled accusatory statements.
I’d like to see Trump introduce these clowns to the efficacy of products produced by IG Farben, predecessor of Bayer, during the 30s and 40s.
Hmmm... time to kick Fauci to the curb. There are at least three drugs known to be effective and he wants his 15 minutes.
He absolutely was...and kept interjecting...
I think it was just from a scientific view and being very careful vs businessmans view
Is Fauci Deep State??
Bwaha—watching on delay now as Trump re-intros Pompeo as from the “Deep State” dept and fauci (little Deep Stater that he is) has to cover his mouth as he breaks into silent laughter.
its been proven safe?
but is it safe if you have covid19. is the question.
Still, worth trying to find out, I wish Fauci had stressed that positive point
Theres a reason the left and the media hearts this guy
Notice his big atta boy to Cuomo at the press conference this morn?
