Why do you think he flew all the way to India in February when the virus was spreading?
Why did he intervene when India decided to ban the export of the drug?

Always follow the money.

India partially lifted a ban on the exports of a malaria drug after President Donald Trump sought supplies for the U.S., according to government officials with knowledge of the matter.

Exports of hydroxychloroquine and paracetamol will be allowed depending on availability of stock after meeting domestic requirements and existing orders, said the government officials, who asked not to be identified citing rules. Shipments will be restricted and permission will be on humanitarian ground, they added.

The spokesman for the trade ministry was not immediately available for comment.

Normally used to treat malaria, hydroxychloroquine yielded promising yet inconclusive results in a small coronavirus trial. While Trump has said the drug is safe, it carries significant side effects. China, Europe and South Korea recommend it as one of several treatments for Covid-19 patients, while India itself advocates health-care workers take the drug regularly as a preventive measure.

Journos cannot pursue and re-pursue every single thing he does every single day. Every day this administration produces an avalanche of garbage -- today, for instance, is the fact that he is firing all the departmental Inspectors General one by one. A couple of weeks ago it was noted that Trump had just discovered that there is not just one IG, but IGs all over the federal government. I think there are 70, so he has 65 to go.

I looked at this on Snopes when Trump first began pushing the drug.
Snopes said, at that time, that Trump investments in Hydrox. were mostly untrue. What ever that means it seems there is some sort of connection. Perhaps Ivanka/Jared are the ones standing to make money?
