Trump says he will finish his hydroxychloroquine regimen 'in a day or two'

"I think it’s two days. Two days," Trump said from the Cabinet Room at the White House.

Trump had announced Monday that he was taking hydroxychloroquine, a drug that he's repeatedly touted as a treatment for coronavirus despite warnings about its effectiveness, as a prophylaxis against the coronavirus.


Trump, who said he has tested negative for COVID-19, stated Monday he had been taking the drug daily for about a week and a half as an added measure to avoid getting the coronavirus. He said the White House physician "didn't recommend" hydroxychloroquine but offered it to him.

Trump's claim stirred up a storm online and on cable television, with an array of doctors, journalists and politicians issuing stern warnings to others after the president's revelation, pointing out the drug's ineffectiveness against the coronavirus in a few recent studies and long list of potentially dangerous side effects.

Take ten times the doctor's recommended dosage!

[Squinch]

2. He's so full of shit.

[iluvtennis]

3. + agree. He was never taking this drug. nt

[George II]

4. "I think it's two days". WTF? When I'm taking medication of any kind, I know the MOMENT...

....that I don't need to take it anymore.

[area51]

5. Yeah,

that's when his Flintstones vitamins, er, placebos, will run out.

[dweller]

6. in his mind, sure ..

in reality it never began ... but yeh, two days too days tuesday ..
such a nasty question !

✌🏼

[BadgerKid]

7. Two...two days. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket.

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

8. Quick. Now try bleach injections. n/t

[smb]

9. It's Become A Joke, And He Wants The Subject To Just Go Away Like A Miracle nt

[JDC]

10. Lol. What an F'in liar this clown is

So utterly and completely fixated on covering his own bullshit lies. It must be f'in exhausting.

[still_one]

11. That is not how it works

[handmade34]

13. ...

[LisaL]

14. If he is taking it as a preventative, why would he stop?

It's not like virus is gone.

[The Magistrate]

15. Exactly, Ma'am --- With All The Practice He Gets, He Shouldn't Be Such A Clumsy Liar

"Always tell the truth. It's easier to remember."

[ProfessorGAC]

24. That Was My First Thought, Too

Why would a preventative regimen by short term.
We don't stop taking BP meds because we get 120/70.
The meds are why that BP is OK.

[blakstoneranger]

16. HE IS NOT TAKING THIS DRUG---HE IS LYING--PEOPLE

Im so tired of this. He's lying. He's lying. He's lying!! This fool is not, has not, and will not take this drug.

HE....IS.....LYING!!!!

[soothsayer]

17. Unless..

Valet tests positive around May 7, Trump freaks out, demands a cure in case he’s been exposed, doc reasons that there’s a 2-week incubation, so 2 weeks should do it.

I can kind of see it playing out that way.

Except Trump lies even when the truth makes a better story, so who knows.

[Corgigal]

18. Keep taking it,

until we get a vaccine. What could it hurt?

[ecstatic]

19. Why stop now when there's "nothing to lose?"

Keep taking it, mister resident.

Add some bleach too, just to be on the safe side.

[jmowreader]

33. No, dude

Bleach is so last week. Now it’s white fuming nitric acid.

[LeftInTX]

20. there was sharpie gate and now there's disinfectantgate

[greenjar_01]

21. He will finish the charade that he is taking hydroxychloroquine in a day or two

We'll all be expected to forget this obvious lie by Sunday.

[Polly Hennessey]

22. He was never taking the drug.

He lies and lies and yet some still give him wiggle room. Chris Hayes said last night that he is inclined to believe him. Good grief Chris bend over backwards. The man lies about everything. Repeat, everything. His mouth opens, he lies.

[Snellius]

23. If really taking it, why stop?

There is no hydroxychloroquine regimen for COVID-19.

[Botany]

27. But I think Trump and Kush-Turd bought a bunch of H.C.Q. in late 2019 or early 2020 thinking they...

.... would corner the market on the drug that could "cure" the coming C-19 pandemic and now they
are stuck with it. Except for Trump's eyes now looking dead and he seems to be shrinking when I
hear him speak about H.C.Q. I keep thinking, "Act before midnight tonight and we will send you a
2nd self coiling extra strong garden hose for free you just pay for its shipping and handling."

It is all gas lighting and a con job.

[Jamastiene]

25. In other words, he was never taking it to begin with and now he wants that quick little

lie washed over. Some of us see through him. He is so transparent. I cannot wait until he is but a bad bad memory we can begin to try to recover from.

[Bengus81]

26. That liar is afraid people would ask to see him actually take a dose of that shit..........

Why would he stop?? Has the virus vanished?

[nykym]

28. tRUMP is actualy taking massive doses

of hydroxychloroquine that he had the Federal Government buy.
It was revealed that the drug was actually a fake and he wants to use it up before someone finds out.

[Javaman]

29. yeah okay. more bullshit. nt

[amcgrath]

30. There is no regimen

For an unproven use of a drug, in the face of a new virus.

This combined with Trumps repeated attempts to flesh out his claims of how, when and why, he was taking it, leads me to believe he was lying when he said he was taking it.

[machoneman]

31. No, no, NO! Pulleezze keeping taking it. What have you got to lose??????

F@ckin' idiot!

[Maxheader]

32. That's good stumpy..

You can start on the Clorox regimen next....

[CRK7376]

34. maybe if we are lucky

Hydroxychloroquine will finish off Trump!

[womanofthehills]

35. Interesting- Bill Maher & Michael Moore think he is taking the drug

Maher had Moore on his Friday show and they said Trump probably believes it works

[LisaL]

37. There is no regiment to take it as a prophylactic for a short period of time and then stop.

To start with, there is no evidence that it acts as a prophylactic for covid. But if you believed it to be a prophylactic, you'd have to continue taking it.

[oasis]

36. Hydroxycloroquine won't cure Trump's aversion for the truth. nt

[BlueIdaho]

38. This is not an antibiotic- there is no regimen, no course of treatment.

He’s totally full of shit - desperately trying to prop up a catastrophically stupid pharmaceutical investment.
