    1. V : Probably? DEFINITELY! It’s Bollox!!! He lies! Donny’s SELLING it, and LYING to his cult, like doctor Wes Dickens, in RedDead Redemption 🤣

  1. People don’t take this drug because Trump claims that he does. He’s lying. He has already shown us how little he thinks about all of the deaths in America and the virus. The question is why is he pushing this drug ? It’s not for your health, because he doesn’t have the ability to care about you.

  2. i take this drug for lupus iam fine a friend of mine got covid19 and was given this drug and was cured in a few days stop lieing they dont want you to take it because they want us to pay a higher drug price of there choice wake up

    1. @Bryan McNair the study you cite is from 2005 and has zero to do with covid 19 and it isn’t from the NIH

    2. You take it safely because you were prescribed it from a professional. Your friend was just very lucky. There is evidence that this drug can cause major issues if not prescribed properly. No one is lying, but you are trying to gaslight us.

    3. The results are not conclusive. Some have success, some still die. They tried it in New York and then gave up. We all would like something to work. I am happy you survived.

  3. You’re right I doubt he’s taking it. If he says he does it, his sheep will do it and create a demand. And his friends will make money and didn’t he have a financial interest in a pharmaceutical who makes it?

  4. No, No, the media misquoted me. I am taking Hydroxicloegwen. She signed an NDA and because I am a star she lets me do what I want.

  5. Here’s the full transcript of Trump’s comments:
    “So I asked Bill a question some of you are thinking of if you’re into that world, which I find to be pretty interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said, that hasn’t been checked but you’re gonna test it. And then I said, supposing it brought the light inside the body, which you can either do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you’re gonna test that too, sounds interesting. And I then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute, and is there a way you can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it’d be interesting to check that. So you’re going to have to use medical doctors, but it sounds interesting to me, so we’ll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it goes in one minute, that’s pretty powerful.”

  6. Soon, we’ll hear about Trump’s lupus or his malaria, since so many Drs are refuting the use of Hydroxcloroquine for C-19. Another lie, Patriots.

  7. I hope and pray he IS taking it. Maybe it’ll speed up THE WORLDS recovery from the real plague known as Trump. #TakeTheDrug

  8. He should take the disinfected that he recommended. Like he said it will wipe the coronavirus out.

  9. HE IS DISTRACTING THE MEDIA WHILE MOSCOW MITCH APPROVES JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE AFTER JUDGE.

    1. eliotno3 yeah he’s baiting us w deflections … that’s the truth … i wish every story wasn’t about this stupidity and we could go back to focusing on his criminality

  10. 👸 is the most powerful piece on the Chessboard. The Queen protects her king
    🤴 is the most valuable piece on the Chessboard. His movement is limited.
    The Queen protects the King. A checkmated King means GAME OVER.
    🤴👸

    Q

  11. If Trump supporters want to believe the crap that Trump is peddling, I say let them, natural selection is a powerful force in the fight against Evil

  12. America’s covid deaths per capita are 70x that of Australia, a very similar country. Explain that Mr President.
