President Donald Trump dropped some news this afternoon. He’s taking hydroxychloroquine at the recommendation of the White House physician. He’s been taking it for a week-and-a-half now. He’s not infected with the virus, but he’s taking it as a precaution since he’s the president and sees scores of people every day.

There’s going to be liberal media hysterics. You know it’s coming. Right now, the halls of MSNBC, especially that of the Rachel Maddow show, are cooking up some InfoWars-lite conspiracy theory about Trump possibly having it and covering it up.
Why did Trump do this? Well, one could see him trolling for a liberal media freak out. He knows they overreact, overreach, or in the end, get stories dead wrong about his administration. I wouldn’t put it past him to see if this legion of idiots, who call themselves MSNBC, CNN, ABC News, CBS News, NPR, etc., the liberal media establishment, take the bait. They will. They’re addicted to this punishment. It’s an election year. They need Joe Biden to look somewhat competent, unlike the person we see now who looks like he needs daily reminders to put on pants. Has anything really changed since 2016? The media still hates this man—and that nonsense will probably land them in trouble again. I can’t wait to see what these clowns cook up upon this news.
Also, let’s not gloss over the most important part: the president is fine. He’s not infected, though I’m sure many, many liberals hope that he contracts it because that’s the Left, that’s how they are in 2020. Pure animals.
Also, let’s not forget that 65 percent of doctors said they would prescribe hydroxychloroquine to a family member, with 66 percent saying they would take the drug themselves. Out of over 6,200 doctors surveyed worldwide from 30 different countries, this anti-malarial drug was the one they deemed the “most effective therapy” against this virus.
They are ALL taking it..geez what is the big shock, that he’s taking a drug I knew he was taking a MONTH AGO, I already called this, a month ago, I knew he was taking it as a preventative medication, and good for him, hes been exposed numerous times, from his Valet driver to the Pence staffer, of course he would take it
I don’t think so.
India (which already produced about 70% of the Hydroxychloroquine in the entire globe), several weeks ago said they are increasing the number of factories from 30 or so, to nearly 100.
Those are NOT under patent production.
Haven’t been in over 40 years, I believe.
The Shermans owned a company that manufactured HCQ generically. Their murders have not been solved.
It won’t work.
His safety is the main concern. We can put nothing past the evil bastards.
Can’t prove a negative, so if this treatment proves prophylactic for the President, we’ll never know.
But I wonder if he’s sending that message to the rest of us?
Hadn’t heard about that, until just now.
Sorry, and thanks.
No wonder the drug is under attack, there’s no money in it.
I heard him say it and thought....”I’m just going to see if he says it again before I chime in.” It was during one of those long covid conferences.
My guess is that Fauci exposed him. He’s always nearest to the President and touches EVERYTHING. And he never wears a mask.
“My guess is that Fauci exposed him.”
On purpose.
Lots of people around the world take HCQ regularly as a malaria preventative. It used to be very common in the Philippines, or rather its predecessors were (Quinine, etc.) With the advance in antimalaria efforts it is now only still advised in a couple of provinces.
All my ancestors took it for extended periods at various times, while living in various islands. It was not normally advised in Manila.
In any case this is just to point out how widespread and innocuous HCQ (and its ancestors) is.
Just an example.
My dad had to take quinine pills on a daily basis when he served in Korea.
Didn’t kill him. Maybe it kept him from getting shot down, anecdotally.
I would think the press pool and many within the President’s circle could easily be infected. I think he was advised to take it if it was necessary.
Taking the drug is more effective than a mask.
You ever notice the side effects of any of the drugs advertised on Cavuto’s show?
That’s exactly what he SHOULD say.
His body, his choice.
“You ever notice the side effects of any of the drugs advertised on Cavuto’s show?”
Have not noticed. Usually miss that show deliberately because I think he’s a jackass that rudely interupts his guests.
That’s right. They can all go to Hell.
