US President Donald Trump revealed he is taking hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug that he has touted despite medical warnings about its use, as a preventative medicine against the coronavirus. Mr Trump made the disclosure during a question-and-answer session with reporters during a meeting with restaurant executives about the impact of the virus.
Mr Trump, 73, who is tested daily for the virus, said he had asked the White House physician if it was okay to take the drug, and the doctor told him, "well, if you'd like it."
This os probably why he is taking it.;
Good.
Why haven't the media warned us about hydroxychloroquine before now, it's been in use for 65 years and not once have they warned us about this deadly drug
He's willing to be a guinea pig himself for this treatment. Why criticise him? He may be right and he may be wrong. Maybe if Boris had taken hydroxychloroquine he wouldn't have become so ill? Who's to know the right or wrong? Only time will tell, experts are not always correct!!
not just him that has touted it. Being the US president in sure he's privy to Information from multiple medical experts.
Fingers crossed it kills him.
RTÉ an absolute disgrace to the Irish nation!! Interview this woman!!
The absolute state of RTE. Trump has a physician with him at all times. You really think he would be taking this drug if it was dangerous.
RTE have no medical expertise, yet, citing unnamed medical experts, continue to criticise hydroxychloroquine for their own nefarious political reasons.
RTE is fake news
He’s taking it because it works. Spin all you like. He’s taking it because it works.
He should be taking psychotic medication not anti malaria drugs
That was one small study out of 100s more. It was a flawed study. Amazing the fake news picked this instead of the others which showed great results. You could have saved many lives if you reported on them.
Let him.
Can hardly make anything worse, might even prove fatal .
Dopey Donald!!!
I hope this anti malaria drugs start to act quicker than it has. First bleach, then ultraviolet now a tablet used for lupus and arthritis. This USPresident has lost all sense of reality. Can no one shut him up Covid_19 Lockdown GodHelpAmerica
They're probably giving him smarties just to stop the tantrums
Fact: RTE hate Trump. Ever see that Washington Correspondence on the Six News. He is always at it. I would listen if he wasn't so obviously biased. That inept Caitriona used to be at it too when she was in the role. Blatant anti-DT narrative by the State Broadcaster
Maybe that explains how he looks and acts then.
Fair play to him
Shame he didn’t go straight for the Dettol instead
Just because Trump says he is doing something, doesn’t make it true. Please stop reporting what he says without qualification. Report it as “Trump says...” Also, check whether he, or his family, or colleagues, have stock/shares in this drug. FactCheckEverything
Yes he is a Gobshite
Do you really believe him?
RTÉ at it’s best again!!
Donald Trump is a mad man you yanks are the thickets people on the planet I have been to the u.s.a and traveled around the world you yanks are the dumbest I have met
This drug has been approved and on the market for 70 years.
He did not ‘reveal’. He has lied. Trump flooded areas of the US with this drug. But then health officials rejected it. So they are left with huge stockpiles. Here his plan was to speak of health officials but then he lied off the cuff about taking it too.
Oh keep takin' it, Donnie, take LOTS and LOTS of it in one go, give the world one less problem to solve!
At least his sycophants and will probably follow him, and Darwinism will do the rest. It's callous, but it's best for our species...
He’s setting us up for a future claim that the drug PREVENTS Covid-19, which could impress his disciples if he doesn’t contract the virus. I doubt he’s actually taking the tablets.
Of course he is....
🤔
No he isn't
Why not interview Prof Dolores Cahill, an Irish world renowned immunologist. You are failing to serve the Irish public by ignoring her scientific evidence and at least not having a proper discussion on this. Or is there a narrative that wouldn’t fit ?
But he is a liar. He may be doing no such thing.
He has stock in the company but I've read it's not much!
No major surprise, we all already know the bumbling buffoon is an absolute idiot. He’s only proving it again .....just in case people forget how “great “he is, and how well he’s handling COVID 19. 😢😢😩
Another distraction from firing the inspector general who had pompeo by the balls!!!🤬
😂😂😂
I thought he was a bit crazier than usual.
heres hoping
Looks a bit scrawny in that photo. Maybe he’s not well after all
Man's a moron
Hmmmm, wear a mask or take a drug known to cause serious side effects, especially in people with heart disease. Mr 260lbs definitely falls into that category.
Well he definitely needs to take something
RTÉ....... The biggest shower of corrupt liars and FAKERS EVER. A DISGRACE TO THE NATION OF IRELAND. THE CURE WILL SPREAD WORLDWIDE.
Hydroxy chloroquine I known for a long time and is cheap.. but some people like B. Gates wants do vaccination based on remdesivir cost around 4.5 k dollars. Critisice Trump further.
Legend
'...that he has touted' RTE suggesting he completely fabricated preliminary RCT results. Either that, or they're calling dozens of collaborating clinicians flat out liars. But why am I surprised? Journalism in Ireland is dead.
Prof Dolores Cahill (who you refuse to interview) is a world renowned immunologist and explains clearly how well established & successful hydroxychloroquine is as a treatment. You fail in your duty to serve the public by ignoring her scientific evidence.
What a statesman. God bless America and God bless Donald Trump
Would be not just drink bleach what he had told ppl too
Don't believe him.
Studies show hydroychloroquine with Zinc can help. This isn't an open and shut case
Yes of course he is because it works. It prevents people from getting this deadly virus. RTE are killing people because they are denying this drugs effectiveness in dealing with this virus.
This doesn't make any sense
It's just one more insanity after another with the Mango Mussolini.
Good! Let him tear on there with that! 🥴 clampett
He’s not taking near enough of it
Perhaps a few Irish leaders could do the same - oh, yeh, sorry...we don’t have any!
Relax, he is taking it sarcastically...however not via suppository, unfortunately.
Lefties, RTE Washington correspondent BrianOD_News and Trump haters right now
Why do you keep taking about trump yet ignoring most of the actual news here that we pay you for.
He is trying to increase the share price of the Pharmaceutical company producing the drug.
Good for him.
No he didn't, he said he is. There's a difference. Do your job properly.
Don’t fall for it. He’s invested in the company that makes it. He’s not taking it unless he’s telling us he has the virus. It can kill you if you take it for no reason.
And he owns shares in the company who manufactures it
Bullshit!!!!
Tomorrow he will say J/K.
it was the cure in 2003 deadbeat, actually the whole script was in that, france ignored and doing well , well done trump showing cures ,
Ah that what wrong with him
Textbook.
mad lad
