Media heads explode after Trump reveals he’s taking Hydroxychloroquine: Trump appears to relish the reaction
American Thinker ^ | 05/19/2020 | Thomas Lifson

President Trump reignited the media firestorm over his endorsement of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as a prophylactic against and treatment for coronavirus, revealing in response to  question that he is currently taking the drug and has been doing so for about two weeks.

To my eyes, he appeared to relish the bewilderment and outrage that immediately started brewing among the media facing him. Watch all four minutes for yourself:

I happened to be watching Neil Cavuto’s Fox News show when the program cut away to President Trump answering reporters’ questions following his meeting with restaurant industry executives, and so had the experience of watching a NeverTrumper go low immediately after the questions ended. Via Breitbart:

“A number of studies, those certainly vulnerable in the population have one thing to lose, their lives,” Cavuto said on his program following President Trump’s announcement. “A VA study showed that among a population of veterans in a hospital receiving this treatment, those with vulnerable conditions, respiratory conditions, heart elements, they died.”

“Those who took it, in a vulnerable population, including those with respiratory or other conditions, they died,” the Fox Business Network host continued. “I want to stress again — they died. If you are in a risky population here and you are taking this as a preventative treatment to ward off the virus or, in a worst-case scenario, you are dealing with the virus, and you are in this vulnerable population, it will kill you. I cannot stress that enough. This will kill you.”

“So again, whatever benefit the president says this has — and certainly has had for those suffering from malaria, dealing with lupus — this is a leap that should not be taken casually by those watching at home

I'm going to take a wild stab at it....and say that Fauci has actually contracted the virus. Why?? Because he's a touchy, feely person and thinks he always home free because he was always testing positive.

But Fauci was always out and about unlike the President who is very much on a schedule.

Rush Limbaugh fits that description for about a good dozen years or so when the time to do something about globalism and internationalism would have be the most effective. I know that sentiment won’t sit well with most conservatives but it doesn’t change the truth about his positions and influence as the gatekeeper as to what was considered out of bounds viewpoints. His 10 point kook-test is impossible to find but has by now been proven wrong on all counts.

Yep. Rush was on the wrong side of the transfer of wealth to the Chinese. I remember.

And I was here, being torched regularly by the free traitors.

The democrats have been out full force with the propaganda that this drug kills people. If that were true, they would be cheering him on for taking it. It just proves they’ve been lying, again.

People like Cavuto need to be hammered continually with the NYU Grossman School of Medicine study that showed an almost 50% reduction in mortality(among other positive results) for patients given hydroxychloroquine in combination with zinc early.

You are not paying attention. OAN works in the free trade is great, tariffs are bad angle into almost every story or segment. The are definitely propagandists for offshoring and LEGAL immigration which IMO has been badly abused. It is amazing how in bed they really are with the globalists . PAY ATTENTION.

I don't see it.
Maybe you are watching at different times than I. Patrick Hussen (sp?), Graham Ledger, Liz Wheeler, Alex Salvi, Chanel Rion (she primarily does specials), Sharp (sp?), are all excellent, and present the news from a pro-America standpoint. Pro-Life, pro Borders, pro Trump. They had excellent specials exposing the Democrat/Ukraine corruption; HCQ benefits; and Deep State attacks on the President (e.g., General Flynn).

My only complaint is that the last 3 months Graham and Liz have been taking the entirety of their one hour shows beating on the Cornavirus shutdown. I get it - and I agree with them - but spending 100% of their time talking about this subject is wearying.

They are for Legal Immigration? Great - so am I. We can certainly have the discussion that we need to have an immigration moratorium (and I believe Graham and Liz have also made this argument) to absorb the massive number of immigrants that have come into our Country the past decades - but the first piece of business is to shutdown the illegal immigration (aka, foreign invasion).
And, in general, Graham has seemed pretty supportive of the President's tariffs. I think you are magnifying nits -- or a different commentary is occurring during the hours I don't watch OANN.

Really? WHY DOES THE USE NEED TO IMPORT ONE MORE FOREIGNER WHEN UNEMPLOYMENT IS AT 14%? Is this so you can virtue signal and FEEL good about your pathetic self? The only reason immigration is permitted is to LOWER wages. It is a wage suppression scheme at its worst. If you want a socialist USA then keep it up bucko.
