9. ...because he thought he could corner the market on it and make a fortune.

Last thing I heard about this Incredible Wonder Drug was that there were people who died, testing it.

I'm wondering how heavily invested he is in the company (or companies) producing this "miracle" drug. I bet he's deep in.

AND, I bet he's selling it so aggressively at these White House coronavirus briefings because he got all his Russian oligarch underwriters to invest in it, too. He talked them into it with a lot of slick sales pitches and breathless promises, and they're expecting him to make good. And it's his job to make sure they get a good return on their investment. And he knows it.

11. Or because he thought he was garnering support from people who could profit from it?

Or because he needed a miracle to come out of this mess intact and immediately gambled on this one drug?

Or because he's such a narcissistic liar, the need to be in control in every situation overrides all common sense?

If I understood how he thinks, I'd be crazy too

12. One bridge too far.

You have to wonder why the people in the White House whose surname is NOT Trump, members of the GOP and Trump voters aren't going . . . 'Oh, no! He is trying to do WHAT? That's just one step too far!' and deserting him in droves.

Then I realized, that those with a social conscience, some moral backbone, some empathy for the common people, deserted the White House and the GOP long ago.
Pushing snake oil is fine by them.
