My theory: once Hydroxychloroquine was a bust, tRump lost all interest in the virus

[stopbush]

He thought this was his opportunity to ride in on a miraculous white horse, that his “intuition” would prove to be better than the intellect of all the scientists and medical professionals combined, and that the entire world would bow at his feet for coming up with the “cure” while science was stuck in first gear doing their usual lame, time-intensive process.

Had tRump been proven right on this, he’d be pontificating on everything else for which he has no clue, because his intuition is so smart.

But it was a bust. His cheap cure actually killed people. At that point, he lost interest, because presidenting is hard work!

1. He ordered the govt to buy millions of the pills because he was invested.

I wonder if SC is going to get a con to do the right thing on his taxes, and then guess what, even if they say he has to turn them over

he wont

Is there a mechanism he does not control that can release them? He controls the IRS

5. The case is about his accountants

turning them over. He's fighting a court order.

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. That's right, so they would? What do you think? And what are they turning over, which years?

Is the case saying they must release ALL materials, schedules, etct?

9. Whatever was requested in the original

subpoena. I suspect they will, if so ordered, to stay in the good graces of Congress and the state where they are licensed, they are a private company which is different from a government entity doing the same thing.

[Eliot Rosewater]

12. So what was in the subpoena, I guess I could research it.

Pfft, GOP is actually working to kill us with the virus, Fauci says it is out of control and I will likely die if I get it...so none of this will matter soon.

But hey, Hillary gave one speech.

Cant trust her, both parties are the same, gotta hold my nose...

Had a poster here the other day proudly say they held their nose as if they still hate Hillary...dear GOD

[2naSalit]

13. I'd have to look it up as well!

You go first.

[maryellen99]

2. Also when he found out that Covid kills African Americans at a higher rate nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. Another reason rump and GOP is not trying to stop virus.

[Stuart G]

3. ...Last 4 words..."...presidenting is hard work." Trump never thought about that I am sure..

[crickets]

14. He's not the only one. Remember the last president who whined, "It's hard work! It's hard work!"?

Republicans.

[Leghorn21]

4. Good observation, sb

No argument here!!

[sop]

8. Jumping the shark with the Clorox and Lysol treatments probably had something to do with it.

[donkeypoofed]

10. You might be right!

I hadn't thought about it that way.

[JI7]

11. I think he had personal financial interest in it

[gratuitous]

15. It would surely be very wrong to keep reminding Trump of how wrong he was

It would be churlish in the utmost to greet every one of Trump's deathless pronouncements with, "So, is this like the time you were endorsing hydroxychloroquine because you knew so much better than those dumb doctors?"

So don't do that! It would be rude. Maybe even nasty.

[stopbush]

16. It would be great if a reporter had the guts to punk tRump on this by saying

“Mr President, a brand new study shows that Hydroxychloroquine DOES significantly reduce the chances for getting COVID-19. What do you think of that?”

Of course, tRump would reply with some version of “I told ya so...I’ve got great instincts...etc”...at which point, the reporter says, “excuse me, I misspoke. I should have said “does NOT” reduce the chances..”
