President Donald Trump said he is taking hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug that he's repeatedly touted as a treatment for coronavirus.

, a drug that he's repeatedly touted as a treatment for coronavirus, despite warnings about its effectiveness.

Trump, who said he has tested negative for COVID-19, said he has 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. "You'd be surprised about how many people are taking it, especially the frontline workers, before you catch it," Trump said before revealing he was among those taking the drug.

The drug remdesivir has come up about 15 times in official White House remarks, sometimes from the president and sometimes from other health officials. Hydroxychloroquine, by contrast, has been raised about four times as often in those settings.The 73-year-old president has been found to generally be in good health, according to his annual physicals, though like many Americans he takes a statin drug designed to lower his cholesterol.

Trump is lying. Hope those crazy people in his base does not follow his stupid action taking medications known as damaging to a person heart. Trump is providing more distractions from damage he has caused to our Country. Just a try to keep people bring dumb to his many errors.

Good maybe it will kill him

Trump should stop taking it—he looks like someone who’s got malaria.

I am making free face masks and sending them all around the world! My facebook group currently has over 700 plus members and it's called 'Saving the world, one mask at a time!' If you could help me get the word out that would be amazing!!

😳

🤣🤣

Bull. Another Trump lie.

For some reason I believe he’s lying like he always does. Who cares if as an adult he takes meds that he shouldn’t. He’s deflecting again from the over 91k deceased.

Just ignore the crap a lot of the reason they do this crap is out of Jealously

TRUMP TAKE DOUBLE THE MEDS ' SO WE DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOUR BULLSHIT ' WHEN IT TAKES YOU OUT ! WE CAN ONLY HOPE !!!!

No he’s not. He’s lying to you. As usual.

In the meantime. RA and Lupus patients can’t get their meds but he has it for NOTHING. TOTAL IDIOT OF A HUMAN

With zinc.

Of course he's taking it silly why would he offer something if he wouldn't take it himself enough said!

Brilliant Boss realDonaldTrump You are a Genius 👍

Maybe the cardiac side effects will catch him...

What about the Covid-19 carriers that cannot take the vaccine because of harmful side effects. 🧐

Distract from the Saudi Student at Pensacola who had a connection to Al-Qaeda. China President on the World Stage and World Leaders glad Trump stayed Home, Testing sites going up while Cases climb.illegal Firings of OIGS. Pompeo sales of Weapons to Saudi. Signs of corruption

Does America want to fight a nuclear war or do they want to fight a virus answer me you got two choices which one do you want.

Swamp land for sale 14st & N. If you believe that your a sucker.

I take it to for years now for my lupus it’s helped me feel good to live.

Why should he be crtitocised. We all self medicate or take treatments over the counter. Sometimes it works sometimes it kills us. We see about this one on realDonaldTrump maybe it’s everybody’s answer to their prayers

Frankly it is not necessary to know what medicine Trump takes. No interesting! Just let American people know when the vaccine is available! Sooner is good.

Ok, we need to find out the doctor who prescribed the drug!!! We need the name to prove what he said

I hope and pray he gets the virus. Then he might learn some humanity... He is a worm nawing on human hatred and devisiveness...

WTH?! Does he have Corona virus?! Why would he need treatment?! Is he really that stupid or a compulsive liar?! I am going with both!!

He's lying.

Oh please. Who cares?

That explains a lot

Dose he have it? Guess we would never know if he did... unless he started acting suspicious!🤔🤫

Go to town MAGA - have at it - it’s gou-oud

no way is he taking that

Let us see him take the real drugs not a placebo 😂

Try bleach I hear it works too!!!

So that's what they call Meth now...

Aha ha

So is it fake news that medical science has proven that this drug is ineffective as a therapy to combat the corona virus? Is this a good example for others to follow?

can he tell the truth about anything?

Sure he is.

You’d think with all the viruses he’s had, he’d be immune to anything... wearacondom

Absolutely Not government doctors wouldn’t Allow it. They are giving him a Placebo

Have him prove it on live 📺

Are you now prescribing that

Believe him or don’t believe him?

SO WHAT? Is this some type of crime because fake news doesn’t want anybody to use it except if they drink it!

Prevention or treatment? What is the actual intended use? Does he know that?

Who can believe him.

''Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine have not been shown to be safe and effective for treating or preventing COVID-19,' the FDA warned. Both can cause abnormal heart rhythms and a dangerously rapid heart rate, the statement said.'

Please please please don't listen to this pathological liar and a demented individual. He's not taking any hydroxychloroquine

That you answer most of the time IDONTKNOW.

I have a patient with breast cancer that takes this drug!! Who knew you could take it as a preventative measure!!! Keep up the great work mr presi can’t wait to see what could possibly go wrong.

Great!

And...

Great! Trump should increase the dosage.

Sooo is he positive

Hopefully he follows it up with a shot of bleach.

And your point ?

maybe he's tested positive and can't admit...

He is president and will be next 4 years, whether he is lying or not, he made it by majority people choice.

In 3, 2, 1, people taking Hydroxychloroquine because their president is telling that and people are dying because of that, you have a mad president

Lies. Why take anything if you're 'healthy?'

'Treasonous Toupee Trump' is just lying for attention‼️ All of Trump's lies, his propaganda and re-directing us away from his criminal acts, so we start talking and thinking about something else, while he does his dirt, is called: 'The Art Of The Con'‼️ DON'T BUY THE LIES‼️

Who’s prescribing it for an asymptomatic person?

That’s a great idea!!! Thank you Mr. President

If mixes adderall, bleach and hydro perfect oh and also a light up his arse !!!!!!

Keep taking it Don the Con 😂

How good would it be if he just died?!!

Why would someone take a drug unless they had too? And one that doesn’t even help you

My daughter has lupus and the side effects to this drug is horrible, I can’t see him really taking it, but the worshippers will want it. People with autoimmune diseases aren’t going to get their medicine because of another stunt this man is pulling.

He just added one of his biggest lie to he's thousands of them. Who the hell is going to believe that. Stop promoting your economic interests on those company. Be careful, President Biden will not pardon you. You won't have enough years of life left to pay for your crimes.

the US_FDA says it can cause heart rhythm problems...hope for America

PROPAGANDA AND DISTRACTION AT THE SAME TIME BY THE MORON IN CHIEF

I guess my question would be WHY?

The More Republicans & White Supremacists who take it, the better off We'll be in November.

anyway what happened to remdesivir? I thought it was the 'standard care' and when are Fauci & NIAID trial results published, it's been over 2 weeks or so now?!!

With his consumption of hamburgers his obesity and hydroxycloroquine he should be worried about his heart and side effects.. oh I forgot he doesn’t have a heart

Is providing realdonaldtRUmp with Hydroxychloroquine an assassination attempt?

realDonaldTrump POTUS is lying and getting all the attention he wanted to either cover up something or make money behind this bs😡🤬 he has to go...

It works 100% but it doesn’t bring in big profits for the pharmacy companies. CNN, ABCNews, and MSNBC news are all backed by the Democrats.

Lie!

It’s better if he is taking this instead

At this point if you believe anything he's saying you are Dumber than he.

He’s lying. Ask trump to take it in front of the public. He’s a narcissistic liar

Is that the reason for POTUS realDonaldTrump being madder? Looking a bit orange but pale round the eyes? Talking shite? Side effects?

Lying

First, I thought he tested negative a few times. Then if he is taking this unsupported stuff he must feel the threat is real. He mentioned this demented cure and a few tried it to negative results. He is a danger to us because he is not a doctor and has no common sense.

God help many

Why is he taking it, if he is not ill?

Perfect...No fear

Another lie to cover for his incompetence.

Lying Again BS

He’s lying. Again. fool

Distraction and not true. Since Trump is a proven pathological liar I can’t believe he would take it. All Trump is trying to do is make money on the drug he has or owns stocks relating to the manufacture. It’s all a lie

Imagine if he became gravely ill?

He’s lying.

I doubt it. Unless he drinks bleach on National tv.

Fool

My friends said that American citizen never critic their President, isn't that right?

Double up the dose Don, show us what a man you are.

Good for him. We should all get it if our physician prescribed but the f’g US_FDA SteveFDA are playing games. Listen French study said it was 91% effective and most US docs want to prescribe but FDA has state Pharmacy Boards prohibiting. Are we living in a Police state?

Presidents takes antiviral drug to protect against virus. Sounds reasonable to me.

Unbelievably irresponsible, but good news for makers of this drug - the dollars will be rolling in!

...why? I thought he was the picture of health? 🤦🏻‍♀️

And knowing this is the LIARS' 👑 KING, one would be advised to disbelieve anything he says until U see it yourself Bc U ... Haven't seen his Taxes Haven't seen his medical record Haven't seen a better Healthcare (If he promised it, U haven't seen it)

ANOTHER LIE

Moron

That roughly coincides with the episodes he was having in his daily briefings, although that's not enough of a timeline to build from.

Ooh, does he have Malaria?

From Drug Saf Case Rep. 2017 Dec; 4: 6.... Hydroxychloroquine may potentially result in adverse effects on the central nervous system, mainly irritability, nervousness, emotional changes, nightmares, and even true psychoses Can only make his mental state worse!

DO NOT REPEAT WHAT HE SAYS! HE LIES! ITS DANGEROUS! FIND OUT THE TRUTH FIRST!

So he's admitted he's got COVID-19.

And President Gerald Ford got the swine flu shot in 1976.

If he thinks it it was be true otherwise why would he think it of course he also thinks he’s smart

A lot of doctors give this to family and friends. It’s smart and is just what the privileged are able to do. I’m sorry to the rest of you.

I also believe that drug is still the cure if you know how to use it properly.

Clear evidence of the immediate need to activate Amendment 25, Section 4.

What if it turns out to be CBD

His incompetence at handling COVID19 has undoubtedly led to people dying unnecessarily. He's not satisfied. He is still promoting this drug which has been PROVEN to have dangerous (possibly lethal) side effects for some patients. How many deaths is enough for him?

WHAT? Horsesheet...

But i thought he didn't have Covid 19

Nah, he misspelled it. It's A-d-d-e-r-a-l-l Just a few sniffs and he thinks the world loves him. Excelsior!
