Would Trump try to "sleight of hand" remdesivir with hydroxychloroquine in people's memories?

"I'm pleased to announce that Gilead now has a EUA (emergency use authorization) from the FDA for remdesivir -- and you know what that is, because that's been the hot thing also in the papers and in the media for the last little while," the president said.

I just wouldn't put it past him. He pumped up hydroxychloroquine, and it turned out to be nothing much or even harmful. Remdesivir, a new drug with some scientific merit comes up, and Trump might just try to act like remdesivir was what he was talking about all along. A lot of people won't remember the drug names. They'll just think, "You know, Trump was talking about some drug, and it was in the news a lot. And look, it turned out to be a good drug!"

1. My wonderful stupid state spent $2,000,000 on his miracle hydroxychloraquine

And with oil going bust and tax revenue falling off a cliff that is $2,000,000 this poor state needed desperately.

But dumb dumb Stitt sucked up to his lardship and spent money on his pig in a poke magic elixir

Because we’re stupid that way apparently. 🤬

2. He might. Not even intentionally; he'd forget his hair if it wasn't glued on.

But he also might try saying he was just being sarcastic about the chloroquine and you stupid libs fell for it.

3. Hard to imagine UNC Chapel Hill will play the monkey for Trump on this.

Their role has been crucial to the development of the drug.

4. I wouldn't put anything past him or hos cabal.

5. In mid-March, trump also mentioned Remdesivir at same time as the

malaria drug. So, he will definitely take credit for it, just as he would had he never mentioned it.
