Trump trade official claims he's just as qualified to discuss medicine as Dr. Fauci

Trump trade policy adviser Peter Navarro has been pushing the use of an experimental COVID-19 treatment. He is not a doctor.

A Trump trade adviser on Monday claimed to be a reliable source on an experimental drug treatment for COVID-19 because he has a doctorate in economics and can read studies.

The comment came during an interview on CNN, when anchor John Berman asked Trump adviser Peter Navarro why he's pushing the use of the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19.

Donald Trump and members of his administration such as Navarro have pushed for the use of the drug, even though doctors say the medicine is unproven and urge caution in adopting it for use against the coronavirus.

What are your qualifications to weigh in on medicines more than Dr. Anthony Fauci? Why should we listen to you and not Dr. Fauci?" Berman asked Navarro in live interview Monday morning.

1. Have I got news for them.

There is no shortage of stupid people on parade right now.

2. Delusional putz, surrounded by ignorant jagoffs. n/t

3. He's withholding medical supplies from Canada at border at tRump's orders. Canadian docs still

Canadian doctors and nurses still cross the border at Windsor, Ontario to work in Detroit, Michigan.

Even medical trade is a two way street.

Especially for neighbours.

Most especially for allies.

Or is tRump inviting Russia into Alaska and Canada? (asked half seriously)

Two Canadian citizens are being held in Chinese PRISONS in retaliation for the Huawei executive that Canada has no beef with.
They just recently had their food upgraded out of fear their immune systems might be lagging.
It is that bad.

The Huawei CFO is living in her mansion in Vancouver, British Columbia, that she owns while she awaits on the US to extradite her. The US has been dragging it out as slowly as they can.

While two Canadians rot in jail in China. Because tRump.

Which is a shitty way to treat an ally who is holding up their end of the bargain.

And now, blocking shipment of medical masks. That are needed in Ontario.

4. It's amazing how Trump manages to find

the most arrogant and yet incredibly stupid people to work for him.

5. Well his patient

Supply side economics just had it second massive stroke. It’s laying in the middle of the road having a seizure and they are reaching into our pockets for the cure.
