President Trump looks on during a meeting with restaurant executives in the State Dining room of the White House Monday.President Trump on Monday revealed to reporters that he has been taking hydroxychloroquine and zinc to protect against the coronavirus. "I was just waiting to see your eyes light up when I said this," the president told reporters, volunteering the information at the end of a roundtable with restaurant owners.
Trump said he asked his doctor to take it after hearing from people who had done so."Here's my evidence — I get a lot of positive calls about it," he said.The president said he had asked the White House physician about it, and that he did not start taking it in response to a specific exposure. Trump has been promoting the drug, used to treat malaria and lupus, in briefings and on Twitter. The impact of the drug on the virus is being studied, but there is no definitive evidence yet from clinical trials – and there have been some warnings about side effects
hydroxychlorquine https://keys-chloroquinehydro.com/
He’s not fucking taking anything. He’s just talking out his ass again
I am really concerned about how this drug (hydroxychloroquin) may interact with adderall
Bullshit, NPR! There is PLENTY of evidence HCQ helps treat COVID19 & it is used by physicians throughout the world. Why not find out HOW it is used? It is NOT used like in the criminal made-to-fail trials lazy fools irresponsibly parrot. Mind your OWN ignorance, first!
He's taking ephedrinehydrochloride and he's insane.
Very stable genius!
FDA and NPR have been wrong about so many things in the past. Fun to sit here and watch the crazies go nuts though.
Donald Joker Trump,he knows every thing 😂😂😂😂
Data is mounting showing good effect if taken early in infection cycle
Why? Does he have the Corona virus?
the doctors blowing smoke up his ass, he's on drugs not that
Is he actually taking it, or just said he is to make a new headline?
Well he won’t get malaria.
Here is an analysis of benefits for hydroxychloroquine (skip to minute 23) and Ivermectin (skip to minute 25) and vitamin D (skip to minute 32) and COVID -19 responses compared (skip to minute 35) and gold standard (skip to minute 39).
where's the evidence that he's actually taking it? Have you done any leg work that he is or is not? He could be lying, no?
Research published by the Mayo Clinic has suggested that “off-label” repurposing of drugs such as hydroxychloroquine could lead to “drug-induced sudden cardiac death”.
I really think we would all benefit if he were to take 6-7 of those pills daily...
Maybe he should be taking Brilacidin! Innovation Pharmaceuticals’ Brilacidin Reduces Viral Titer of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) by 75 percent After Only 1 Hour of Preincubation in In Vitro Study at BSL-3 Facility; Demonstrates Potent and Rapid Virucidal Activity
USA stands for freedom
Hypochondriac?
The drug is not good just to Democ-rats
You believe something he said?
Triple-drug combo of anti-malaria pill hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and ZINC improved coronavirus patients' chances of being discharged and cut death risk by almost 50%, study finds
The studies done on drugs in hospitals are on the living dead with advance pneumonia over 80% can't be helped. Doctors and patients in California hospitals are taking Hydroxychloroquine Drug with zinc except heart patients then it's Remdesivir with covid19 for weeks now!
He’s lying again.
Why does it feel we have a Darwinism moment in the future?
Only time I believe what he says is when his lips dont move.
You’re right Donald. Absolutely right. Take lots and lots and lots and lots of hydroxychloroquine. It also helps your hair grow back.
The president of the United States is “mentally handicapped”. Story concluded
Any medical professional who prescribes hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 prophylactic is just as irresponsible as Trump. Shame on the medical professionals who get sucked up in the quagmire of Trump stupidity.
It's his heart attack, let him have it. Why argue at this point?
Just seeking attention. He knows how to manipulate the media and they keep falling for it.
That what I said. I don’t trust this man. There isn’t anything he says anymore that I think is true. The world is no longer laughing at us Coach. They feel pity for us. They think that the once great nation is now a joke! A complete mess and no country will open to us!
Why is he taking it? Is he sick? Is he 🤥?
“I do what I want “ next question
So, no mask and this treatment should work. It seems like reading about an ad that will help you lose years of weight in three weeks. Where is the evidence and where is your mask?
Bull
Dónde quedó la inyección de la película de.esa punta mental para nosotras all 3 y ya no importo bebés no fealdad ni otros planetas por qué no estoy viejo
Viola menores de edad? Con un código dónde no se pueden violar menores? demas que no les da comida y los hace pasar hambre por meses? Eso es lo que nos va a hacer esa putios brujas por cerrarle la economía
This only hurts the people that believe in him.
Cheers Mr. President! 😆
Are Kushner's taking hydroxychloroquine?
It is a ploy. Trump must know it does not work and has side effects. Trump would not take the risk. Trump would rather someone else takes the risk.
Nah, he's just boosting the stock price.
Oh well lol
He LIES about everything.
Don’t worry, he’s lying.
😂 Good. We'll see the long term effects of him taking that drug when he doesn't even need it and his body responds to it.
I’d say let’s test every drug on him. He’s already cancer to our country. Maybe we’ll find a cure for him, too.
DeborahHealy_ This is just another distraction to keep what the IG was investigating out of the news headlines.
realDonaldTrump is LYING!
The headline shouldn’t mention what he’s doing that should be at the end of the article, for the headline should be Trump risks his life for bribe money for his campaign.
It's not even how you would take it... you'd... but... 😑I'm too tired.
🤮
Heart and brain stem... do we need those?
Yeah right, here’s a guy that don’t a condom on a pornstar!
You know damn good and well his ass is lying
He may well be trying to create an artificial demand for hundreds of millions of dollars worth of drug's his sons and son-in-laws may have bought at the onset of coronavirus. Or it is a possibility that Pres. Trump is suffering from Lupus?
I’m fairly certain that is just another fabrication.
He's lying. This is just a distraction from the firing of the IG.
Atta boy keep taking it...
I mean someone had to give him a prescription for that... so that’s weird.
He’s a grown-ass STABLE GENIUS who can make his own decisions .....
No wonder Trump is acting weird.
Charles Darwin is just biding his time at this point.
I think there’s a money-driven motive. Has anyone actually seen him take it? Can he take it on camera like the way Cuomo got his test?
I was watching an interview w/a doctor & he’s asked why Trump is taking it. He looks momentarily flummoxed, as if trying to come up w/an answer that discourages others, while not insulting Trump outright. The doctor suggests that Trump could’ve been given a low dose or a placebo.
Best case/worst case scenario seems win/win
He's lying. There's also evidence that it causes heart problems so if he isn't lying hes putting the country at risk.
The dr prescribing the meds should be held accountable
This guy will snort anything.
Keep ignoring medical experts’ suggestions. It’s great for you. You’ll live forever. You definitely won’t die. Please don’t listen to the experts.
There's also a lack of evidence that he's taking it. He lies about EVERYTHING. Do you get it, ?
Smart man
Facts of This Liar Thief👇 «A»
Thank youuuuu
Oooooooh! Lots of side effects? Maybe we’ll luck out if any of them are lethal
he's lying...he's not that stupid!! wants distract people from IG investigation...HE'S PLAYING WITH PEOPLE LIVES...come on wake up before it's too late...wear masks don't go to crowded places..take care n don't listen to this CLOWN..HE LIES WAY TOO MUCH. IT'S PROVEN
Wrong.
What is he taking for if he tested negative? Is he just random if taking it? Why didn’t any ask that!!!
In the words of Forrest Gump: ”Stupd is what stupid does.”
Remember when he looked right at the solar eclipse?
Is it time NOW ? Even Cavuto on Fox says he’s crazy. There’s more writing on the wall than on a subway car in the 70’s. GOP must join the rest of the sane country and act now.
Ventricular tachycardia is a side effect from this medicine. It can be fatal. Zero evidence it works against the virus. As an RN? I suggest you don’t take it
Snorting Adderall isn't great for you either.
Just a simple question/observation. If trump’s taking the wonder drug, why are people required to have their temp taken and masks worn in the West Wing?!?!
Why would you take this drug, if you don’t have the virus? Do people take antibiotics when they don’t have an infection?
Please ignore this deflection. He’s making up garbage so we don’t ask why the IG was fired who was investigating Pompeo selling arms to the Saudis, along w Jared.
Trump’s lying
L I E S
Taxes.
Looking forward and around not back and in the mirror.
Well, hope for his speedy end springs eternal after all.
And do we believe him?
He’s still going to be your president for another 4 years 👍🏼🇺🇸😁
I don’t believe a word this man says. He has no conception of telling the truth!
he’s lying... obviously. know how I know? I didn’t see the interview/speech but I assume his mouth was moving and sound was spewing from it which is the tell tale of a lie🤷🏾♂️
thoughts & prayers 🙏
Given his propensity for lying, there isn't any good reason to believe he's actually taking the stuff. Perhaps he could provide some proof.
Or any evidence he’s actually taking it
Is he trying to salvage the investment made by the US in stock piling over 20 million doses maybe?
Actually, the drug has been around a LONG time. It's side effects and interactions is well known. Under a doctor's care, it makes perfect sense. And since there IS anecdotal evidence that in at least some cases it can be effective, it is wise. Got narrative, NPR?
He takes it right after he swallows a few Viagra...and it ain't because Melania is asking him to do so.
Now THIS is natural selection!!! 😂😂😂
He’s a liar. Doubt he’d take anything other than a quarter pounder with cheese.
Let’s pray for some serious side effect for him
He is now LITERALLY a snake oil salesman.
Dr. Dolittle is self-prescribing. Or is it Dr. DoNothing?
advertisement
Just proof positive he is a Liar !
realDonaldTrump should take twice the dosage, just to be sure.
Trump just trying to keep a poker face with a bad hand. He promoted hydroxychloroquine in the past. He has tons of the medication in strategic stockpile. It is a shame to go it to waste, so Trump said that he is taking it. This has a placibo effect on Trump's supporters.
Who prescribed it?
Lying
STOP IT. Trump claims he is taking it. He is putting blood in the water for the sharks.
GrayArea15 He heard about this up and coming personality JamesDean who is becoming very famous, thus !
I hope all his followers drink it like it’s kool aid and that it help us get rid of them, thinking like a kind of Rapture in the making!
What a pathetic and deranged little man.
No way, not with these side effects
Divert ,divert ,divert. He was schooled by Obamas speech to the graduates so this is his next thing. LiarInChief TrumpLiesPeopleDie
He’s a liar....I hope he poisons himself
Yeah... he’s lying. He’s not taking anything, but I’m sure now his followers will. Shameful “President”!
Excellent!
There is no way that he would kept that quiet for a week and a half,, just no effing way.
Shhhhhhh. It's a TicTac.
Please stick to the real story. Reportedly, Trump fired the IG who was looking into his arms sales to Saudi Arabia. And more than 90,000 Americans have died of COVID19.
Explains why he's a rabid dog.
How did he get it? What doctor prescribed it for a use for which it’s not approved?
Heroin has proven to be an effective treatment too.
did you also inject or drink Lysol lately ?
Trump is lying.
Yet again! Perfect example of privilege. Why is a “healthy” no symptoms of Covid19 person being prescribed an experimental Rx?!?! How many others ppl had Drs give them Rx for precautionary reasons, causing a shortage for Lupus patience who couldnt fill their Rx properly.
Good for him
There is plenty of evidence that it works! Do some digging, you daft, aging hippies!
He’s full of shit, as usual, he ain’t taking it. Look over here, look over here - stop taking the bait.
Self prescribed is always best
This is coming from a man who won’t even eat vegetables... 🙄
Even worse, there is abundant evidence that DOESN'T WORK (via NEJM) -
Where’s Pence?
Heh. Let me keep taking it. Maybe tell him to double his dosage even. Heh.
Good. I hope it backfires.
why should we believe him concerning this, when he lies about literally everything, all the time?
Let us know how that works out. I’ll just sit here waiting.
I don’t need no stinkin’ evidence. I got me some faith.
Maybe he’ll get a heart arrhythmia. One can dream...
👖 🔥
Bullshit
Well, he proved that works. Now it’s bleached turn!
He's lies
Does anyone believe this? We all know the conman is a big talking coward!
Please, please take it! All of it. At one time! That's the BEST way to take it--mega dosing! Just do it!
eagle_liberal So how long until he starts having breathing problems and shits his pants on camera?
Where's Pence? Why did Trump start taking it 10 days ago? Not as if he has shares in the company or anything?
*He should prove it. He’s not taking it.
He would prove it. He’s not taking it.
The gaslighting continues
His son was just on Fox news this weekend And said that the Democrats got the whole world to participate in a hoax and it will disappear after the election, so why take the drug?
He’s a child. BarackObama couldn’t have said if any better.
I just hate him so much.
Headline bot biased at all...its under doctor supervision, drug been around for decades so we know it’s safe. It may work or it may not but the freak out over a stupid pill is new level of TDS
There isn't just a lack of evidence that it helps. There is evidence that it doesn't help, and evidence that it can increase mortality from other effects. On second thought, triple his dose.
Meanwhile people like me, who rely on Hydroxychloroquine for lupus, are still struggling to access or afford our years old daily prescriptions. It’s a travesty. These consequences should be central to any reporting on the topic. Nothing about us without us.
So my guess is that he is NOT taking the drug, and that this is a distraction so that he can fire another IG while some are up in arms about him using this drug...
Is trump saying to the maga cult that it is time to drink the koolaid?
First, realDonaldTrump has told 20,000+ lies in office. This is likely one more. Second, this is a shameless con from a snake oil salesman Third, as a sale oil con man, this is a 'sales' pitch to his flock of followers to prop up yet another con man he is in business with.
Meanwhile, FLOTUS is taking a break...😂😂 or is she
So now what? Do his followers drink the Kool Aid?
Probably drinking bleach too...
Pretty sure it's spelled A-d-d-e-r-a-l-l.
Please tell him to go to the local pet shop and pick up some chloroquine phosphate
Can we petition him to take 10x pls? After all 10 times as much should give at least a 10 x improvement! whotakesmedsforahoax
CORRECTION: 'Trump SAYS he's been taking hydroxychloroquine' (The guy lies like a rug--never take his word at face value.)
Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to drink some bleach?
CoughBULLSHITcough... Next week some reporter will ask him about it and he will deny ever having said such a thing...
Pfft. Dear leader is a very stable bigly genius who knows more than any mere medical doctor.
Remember folks, shortly before his suicide, Hitler was getting bunk medical treatments by a quack doctor.
Doesn't he have financial ties to that drug...
DON THE CON IS DIVERTING THE MEDIA OFF POMPEO. YOU SEE DONNY IS CAUGHT WITH POMPEO
I don't believe you.
Many of my doctor friends are taking them as precaution and they treated many coronavirus patients. President Trump's act is very reasonable
I won’t start believing TrumpIsAnIdiot now.
So what ?
He lies about everything. You know he is just taking Flintstone’s chewable vitamins.
All Trump-tards should take it, and go protest w/o masks.
Take chloroquine, it’s a dangerous medicine. Side effects are sudden cardiac event. Scientists say this medicine shows it has no effects on Coronavirus.
jscotthelton
🤪
An exercise: Don’t report on the nonsense he says to distract. Y’all still haven’t managed to keep it together, even after three years of practice.
That’s because Trump believes that he is smarter than everyone else and just needs to go by his gut feelings and intuition. This is problematic because at a time we should be paying attention to science he is undermining it.
No responsible medical doctor would allow that, especially knowing he has heart disease. But then again, I said responsible and the WH doctor is known to follow orders from Dr. Trump.
Try the bleach! Try the bleach!
Rev Jim Jones?
Lack of Evidence? FAKE NEWS NPR! TRUMP=TRUTH!
I’m going to start taking regular doses of dihydrogen monoxide, and if I don’t get CV19 then I was totally right about it’s efficacy all along and the rest is fake news.
How can anyone believe anything he says? I mean, sure, he's dumb enough to take something useless and potentially dangerous like that, the big fool, but if he says he is, then I just can't believe it.
🤥 🤥 pants on fire.
Shouldn't everyone be happy for that?
Strick-9 works on Covid-19!
Here’s our daily dose of SH**!!!
Lies
25thAmendmentBeforeWeAllDie
let's see him take it live on TV. 🤔
🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
So what irresponsible MD illegally scribbed it for him?
CoachKBooth
Then shake my hand Mr. President; I'll think that you shall find the clown buzzers keep the demons away. Better than hypno-electron policy huh?
So does this means he has covid? I dont recall reading that it is a preventative.
Good for him! And why is it available to him and not to others? Because he’s a MURDERERinCHIEF
He’s so full of shit. He’s totally lying
Like everything else about him, he’s full of crap.
How many people is he going to kill with that statement
Just a distraction from Pompeo 8Billion$$ arms sale to the Saudi's story
Somebody invested a lot of money on that drug and the Russian loan payments are due.... I made that up. But you can see how easy it is to just say sh*| these days...
I bet he’s lying
His body, his life, his choice. U have a problem with that?
There are some interesting side effects...
HIAFI
I hear he's also into bloodletting and animal magnetism.
Nothing this creature has said has ever been honest.
Shhhhh!
Aaaaand cue Trump's supporters who want to mimic their fearless leader's ignorance of medical advice and FDA warnings. Certainly some of them will have undiagnosed heart issues.
Maybe he thinks it also protects him from Windmill Cancer.
Bull Shit!
Who is prescribing it to him?
It's odd that so many people want to warn against hydroxychloroquine. Dig a little and you'll see when and how it can be quite safe and effective. You know, journalism.
It looks like my prayers are been answered. I am going to pray & fast even harder now.
Trump is lying
?!
I think it’s making him less orange.
Prove it! ... Or maybe that's what can explain your mental instability? realDonaldTrump
There's actually tons of evidence that hydroxychloroquine works. For example, here's a paper from 2010 that explains how the Zinc (used in combination) helps stop viral replication:
Hope it gives him the shits
Does it also protect against WindMill Cancer? Asking for my fellow Kansans.
😳🙄😳🙄 Thats just a cardiac arrhythmia waiting to happen
Is there a pool going for how long before he’ll notice the hydroxychloroquine is Flinstones shaped?
Fingers crossed.
Double up in the dose I’ll send you some more. We can only hope for an arrhythmia
Yeah sure tRump 🙄 My eyes are rolling Out loud Again
I take a Vit D every day to keep elephants out of my yard. Of course it works, do you see any elephants?
Stupidity is amazing 🤯
I don’t believe him, he always lies!
Who is prescribing it and for what reason? Prevent Malaria?
I don
THIS IS NOT A LEADER! Every day I think something he says is crazier than the day before.This is ABSURD!Now all his followers are going to take this drug(Getting it illegally?)and go out & spread the virus,AND get heart attacks if not 100% monitored. He has to respect his own FDA
He's taking it when he's being tested every day and doesn't have COVID-19? He's taking medicine from someone who needs it.
The 'lack of evidence' claim by liberal media regarding Hydroxychloroquine IS A FLAT OUT LIE. NPR is dirty.
Regardless of the efficacy of the drug, there isn't enough hydroxychloroquine available for every American to just start taking. The last time he did this, it created a shortage of the medication and people who have been on the drug for various disease states, could not get any.
👇
This is a media distraction, pure and simple. Look for some other corrupt action or behavior IMPOTUS is undertaking at this moment that he does not want the media or the public paying attention to. Suspicious release of information without any promoting. Watch out!!!
He always knows better than the experts
🤣
He’s lying, again.
Don’t forget the breathing a little of Lysol in the evening.
He’s not taking enough of it
You all know the family has got money in that drug company, right?
Do we need any more evidence that he is mentally unstable?
What value is there in taking it as a preventative? It WAS supposed to be a therapeutic, prior to all the studies & side effects. So either he has COVID19 and is lying about the drug being a preventative or he isn't taking it. My money is on HE MADE IT UP & isn't doing it.
It’s a diversion from the fact that there’s 90,000 people dead now.
Trump makes $$$ off of ut!
and Zinc.
He is lying!
He's lying. For the reaction. Don't give it to him.
He’s lying. When he was pushed on it, he said the WH doctor recommended it but then said he asked if it was okay to take and the doctor said if you want to and he did. More blathering.
Here’s a guy with the Nuclear codes dreaming in technicolor
Who else amongst the White House staff has been taking Hydroxychloroquine ? Is that why they’ve been without mask s, because they believed themselves to have some veil of protection? What else have they taken ?
You just can’t make this stuff up. 🤷♀️🙄
Great - now some of his dipshit followers will also take it - despite that it can cause...death.....Is this where they get the phrase 'drinking the Kool Aid'?
Trump is either lying or he's an idiot or more likely both.
I really wish this was true and that he'd triple his dose, chased with a cup of bleach, just to be on the safe side.
They're probably giving him a sugar pill so they dont get in trouble.
Let him take it . And if he croaks , well , we will know why ..,
Prove it.
He is also taking zinc, and has taken an initial dose of azithromycin, or Z-Pak. Sounds like Trump might have tested positive. What doctor prescribes antibiotics for a virus? specially since Zpack is linked to an increased risk of fatal heart problems. realDonaldTrump
Is he using Clorox to down those pills?... more effective!
He’s full of crap. Just trying to shock and divert from his FUBAR presidency
He's a liar, but his sheep will believe him The murderer has a vested interest
is a presstitute bordello. HCQ is very safe and effective against Covid19 and there is ample evidence for that.
Is President Trump also injecting himself with disinfectant? Or shining a light into his body? [NOW can we all conclude Donald Trump is mentally unstable?]
realDonaldTrump is almost certainly lying, but if not, perhaps he should consider doubling his dosage to halve his risk! 😃
He’s a psycho
Hopefully Clorox is next.
He's actually taking Emergen-C, but we don't want him to feel stupid.
Lies!
If he is not lying--which he probably is--then once again showing that he is dumber than a box of rocks.
He's lying. He's doing what he's always done, sell snake oil to rubes.
Good. Maybe it’ll fuck him up enough to make him realize that his promotion of it is dangerous and harmful.
He said he's not taking it due to specific exposure--he just feels like taking an anti-malaria drug? Please GOP, retire him and say he's suffering from 'exhaustion'. He's a nightmare.
I don't believe he's taking it and also, I don't care. Survival of the fittest. It's the American way right?
Good read from NEJM
I wish this president would magically disappear
Why would he take a treatment if he's not sick?
He's either lying or taking it for a different reason like arthritis.
I’m looking forward to seeing his next financial disclosure statement.
The press are being played. This is to divert attention away from the IG sacking.
He MUST have financial Interest
He’s likely saying that because he/his family bought shares in the hydroxychloroquine maker and figures that his supporters will want to take what he takes.
🤦
I think if it’s working really well he should double his does 😬what? 🤷🏼♀️
Hahaha the media
I don't believe that at all.. It's all BS. Wait for the other shoe to drop .Pence is sick and it's a media spin to stall.
What a moron!😱🤮😱🤮
Promoting hydroxychloroquine. Follow. The. Money.
He might as well. He and Jared bought a warehouse full it.
Narrator: this man is an imposter...and a pathological liar.
Don’t get our hopes up.
ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!
Get ready for more stupid people to die
REMEMBER Trump is obeying Vladimir Putin’s orders because Russia owns Trump’s debt.
The dead don't have a choice only the living If you're serious about your well-being, there's a remedy for the sick ones God Healing Oil, A Healing balm for coronavirus and other deadly diseases Truth is rare, believe it when you see it Kindly Dm if you are ready for the cure
