No mask, just an unproven drug. What a sorry ass loser.

(38,187 posts)That is bullshit. He is a coke-fiend if I ever saw one. People who go on and on and on about being a teetotaler usually aren't. They are usually the most into drugs of anyone. Trump is a fiend. I know it already, based on how he goes on and on about being a teetotaler AND by how he ACTS.
Why am I the only one not surprised he is taking a drug?
Others take this drug for other medical conditions already. So, it's not like it is totally experimental. It is experimental and not proven to work at all for Covid, but not for other medical conditions.
What doctor gave him the prescription for it is my question and why? It hasn't been proven to work for Covid-19. Some studies so far have found the opposite. So, what doctor gave him the prescription for it and why does that doctor still have a license to practice? That is my question.

(115,280 posts)Trump wanted a magic bullet to make this whole mess go away and take credit for it, so he got all excited about hydroxychloroquine on the basis of an untested and later debunked study. He said he is taking it in order to discredit Dr. Bright and the other doctors and scientists who threw cold water on his efforts to promote it.

(3,222 posts)The doctor would have to know that Trump taking hydroxychloroquine would make others think it was Ok, and that it would give false hope.

(17,308 posts)What doctor would take the high risk of giving that medicine to an old, fat man, who was the President of the United States. If Trump had a heart attack within years after administrating the drug the Doc would be accused of killing the Don. I believe that the docs are injecting him with something to keep them off their backs but not what Trump thinks.
When a man acts like a child, he will be treated like one.
