If you watch closely, you can see he's truly making this crap up as he goes along about taking the drug. Notice how he tacks on his admission to the hyperbolic statement, "The front line workers, many, many are taking it." Watch his face when he then says, "I happen to be taking it. I happen to be taking it." He makes this claim only to reinforce the other lie about all the front line workers. It might not have occurred to him that the press would keep on about it because he really doesn't care. He even says it twice, like "Yeah, that's the ticket. The front liners take it, and I'm taking it, too." Then he trails off, " (I'm on it) Right now....a couple of weeks ago..... " He gestures with his hands to emphasize. And his reasoning? "Because I've heard really good stories."
Vague and obtuse. I'll bet it sent his minions into a tizzy. Not like it's a surprise, but I've seldom seen it this obvious.

Faux pas
(14,645 posts)lowers his voice so he sounds more sincere. I noticed that a few years back. He lies like it's breathing. Such a dastardly ASS.

(17,981 posts)A monotone when he is making something up.
He might be taking Zinc. That is an OTC Drug. You notice he just threw that in.
Faux pas
(14,645 posts)can understand the confusion, hydroxychloroquine and zinc, I confuse them all the time.
I grew up with a pathological liar brother and thought I'd heard it all. Nothing could have prepared any of us for whatever that thing is in our white house.

(54,770 posts)ineffective, apparently, for those already sick enough to be hospitalized, there are several studies ongoing to see if it is beneficial for prophylactic use.
Here are just two of several from a google search:

A month ago, were I on my death bed with no treatment options, probably would have said why not. I wouldnt take it prophylactically, tough, until there is some proof its effective.

smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)There are no doctors or nurses taking this. It's insane. And Zythromycin is an antibiotic which has no effect on a virus whatsoever.
How can they let him put this bullshit information out there when it could be hurting or even killing people? Hydrocloroquine can kill people who have certain health problems.
It is an immunosupprsant and has severe side effects that can cause problems even in healthy people. Why can nobody stop him from spreading this dangerous information? I just can't fucking believe what I am hearing and that he is allowed to go off like this unchecked. It's like the damn Twilight Zone.

(1,915 posts)and he is lying about not having the virus lol.
there is no reason to take the drug if you arent infected. its not going to stop you from being infected.
do we know what company owns the drug and who there is connected to trump yet?
appleannie1
(5,062 posts)There has to be a reason he is pushing this drug. He probably either has stock in the company or gets a kickback of some sort for pushing it. It has been known to cause irregular heart beat to the point of death. They do give it under supervision in COVID units when the patient is being monitored. He is not. So what is his goal? Killing the arses that follow his every word? I do know, if he claims he takes it every day and it is keeping him from getting the virus there are fools out there that will do the same and die from it instead of a death caused by the virus itself for not following the CDC rules because he does not wear a mask so why should they?
