Gupta: Trump Should Be 'Ashamed' Pushing Untested Drug To Fight COVID-19 | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
Shame?! Only ones that don’t have no shame, is him and his cult members. Since they don’t want to take anything seriously and take Trump at his word, they should take his lead on this one, too. I don’t pity anyone that follows that man word for truth and/or in good faith. SMH
Trumps not taking it , he’s lying when he says that to save face..
He’s not actually taking the drug but instead lying in hopes of making good on his investment.
We all know he cares nothing about putting public at risk for a dollar.
Yes he’ll make a killing – oh, he’s doing that already
Exactly
When has Trump ever made a logical or truthful statement. He is lying about this
Can you please tell me one statement that he said where he lied just tell me one and I will prove you wrong just 1
@Fogel70 how do ya know they ain’t already?
@lushin burl the 15 cases will go down to zero very soon.
Facts
@lushin burl “I know more about drones than anybody.”
Maybe he mistook hydroxichloroquine for M&Ms. I could see him taking those.
Well what have his supporters got to lose!
Hopefully their lives
Eddie Edmunds shhhh take this extra stimulus check
Ashamed? Does anyone think that Trump has that capability? He’s a sick, disgusting human.
Sorry Sanjay, not everyone is hoping for Cheetolini to be in the best health.
I want proof he’s taking it. He sounds like a bad salesman.
@Bud Fudlacker Things Joe Biden definitely won’t do as President:
* Lie multiple times each day, as Trump does.
* Worry more about his “numbers” than Americans’ health, as Trump has in response to the Coronavirus.
* Be supportive of violent racists, as Trump has been.
* Appoint unqualified incompetent corrupt people to his administration, as Trump has done repeatedly.
* Play golf over 260 times at a cost to taxpayers of over $100 million, as Trump has.

* Let himself be suckered into holding hands with murderous dictator Kim Jong Il in exchange for nothing, as Trump has.
* Alienate our allies and weaken NATO, as Trump has.
* Constantly Tweet lies and childish insults, as Trump does.
* Hold over 85 campaign rallies, as Trump has done.
* Stiff local governments for over $1.8 million in security costs for his rallies, as Trump has done.
* Obstruct justice 10 times while trying to thwart a Justice Department investigation, as Trump did.
* Try to bribe a foreign leader into fabricating dirt on a political opponent, as Trump did with the Ukrainian President.
* Instruct the Postmaster General to double shipping rates on a company because he doesn’t like the company’s owner, as Trump did with Amazon.
* Refer to African countries as “shitholes”, Mexicans as “rapists”, and neo-Nazis as “very fine people”, as Trump has.
* Illegally try to block a corporate merger to try and punish the media subsidiary of one of the corporations, as Trump did.
* Lock migrants in cages and deny them adequate medical care resulting in multiple deaths, as Trump did.
* Make more than 400 lucrative visits at taxpayer expense to his own properties and businesses in direct violation of the emolument clause of the Constitution, as Trump has.
* Have Saudi royals bail out his underperforming hotels, in direct violation of the emolument clause of the Constitution, as Trump has.
* Block the sale of a government building to a commercial developer to prevent the developer from competing with one of his businesses a block away, as Trump did.
* Encourage his supporters — including members of the armed forces — to attack his political opponents, as Trump has.
* Override protocol so that a security clearance is granted to his son-in-law despite warnings from intelligence officials that his son-in-law could be compromised by his business ties to foreign governments, as Trump did with Kushner.
* Ask the FBI to jail reporters, threaten to revoke broadcast licenses of media organizations that criticize him, and relentlessly demonize journalists as “scum,” “slime,” “sick people,” “fake news,” and “the enemy of the people”, resulting in death threats against them, as Trump has repeatedly.
* Try to illegally withhold much-needed and congressionally appropriated disaster relief money to U.S. citizens, as Trump did with Puerto Rico.
* Actively and publicly support a fringe conspiracy theory group, as Trump did with QAnon.
* Illegally launch airstrikes against another country without a vote in Congress, as Trump did with Syria and Yemen.

* Hand over classified intel to the Russians in the Oval Office, as Trump did.
* Engage in public intimidation of witnesses in federal trials, as Trump did with Michael Cohen and Marie Yovanovitch.
* Encourage foreign governments to interfere in our elections, as Trump did with Russia, Ukraine, and China.
* Repeatedly try to take health care away from the American people, as Trump has done with Obamacare.
* Get impeached, as Trump has been.
@jb pb . LOL. Your insane rant was the biggest collection of lies I’ve seen since Trump’s last press conference.
You are convincing absolutely no one with that nonsense and links to BS YouTube videos created by people as lunatic and lying as you are.
I sure hope you’re getting paid to waste all your time creating that nonsense. Otherwise you’re an even bigger fool than you appear to be.
and what does a good salesman look like? Obama? THE WORST PRESIDENT in the History of the USA. But he did look Presidential.
@Saltponds239 actually has a problem with Obama being the blackest president in the history of the US. He doesn’t have the balls to say that so he claims, completely without merit, that Obama was the worst president and puts it in all caps because he doesn’t really believe it and knows in his heart that his boy Donald is the worst president ever.
@Anne Marie Sweetie/Honey, So you throw-out the race card and think I’m going to back away? Lets look at Mr. Noble Peace Prize winner.
-The Fascist Obama
a) Used law-enforcement to spy on Political Opponents, members of Congress and members of the Press;
b) “Unmasked” and “spied” on more american citizens that all other Presidents combined;
-Escalated the war in the Middle-East
-Only President in HISTORY to spend every day in office fighting a war;
-allowed ISIS to go from a JV team to controlling 30k miles in the Middle East;
-sent planeloads of CASH to Iran;
-Open Borders;
– Opioid addiction sky-rocketed under Obama;
– Spent more money than all Presidents combined and led the Country to the worst economy recovery in History.
-Allowed China to build and expand territiry in the China sea;
-Gave away our Supply Chain to China;
-Middle-Class income went DOWN;
-destroyed our military
How you like them BALLS. While you’re reading the above, grab yourself a fresh Kool-aid.
He does not know right from wrong
I doubt he knows right from left unless you’re talking politics.
Worse,I dont think he cares..he just does or says what he wants to do, and that appears to be 1st nd last thing in his consideration,if you can call it that ..
I really don’t believe he’s taking that drug, I think he’s just trying to promote the sales.
@Will Cochran…you’re right sir. Saw on another news article that Trump and his family actually own stock in this 💉 and one can only surmise that he’s advertising it to generate sales.
@Selwyn Lawson it’s common knowledge that they have stock in that drug company, and from what I read his children own stock in that company. So we probably read the same article.
The pill is barely 10 cents lmfao it’s almost same cost as aspirin…you’re a moron hahahahahaha
@Oh Man how do you know what the profit margin is? How much is 10 million dimes? It’s better to make a million dimes than to make $100 one time. Solid numbers game.
Of course he’s not taking it!!!
His family bought stock in the company that makes it?? Wouldnt surprise me.
Whatever you think of this pathetic liar, just be reminded that there are millions and millions of gullible people who would still vote for him. What is wrong with this country?
Education is a terrible thing to waste it looks like a bunch of followers wasted their education.
It’s not the country country is a great place to live and raise your family. It’s the overabundance of mental illness that makes this a dangerous place.
short answer: 30 years of Rupert Murdoch
Should be obvious by now, Drumph has as much shame as he has brains: none.
Trumpanzee
For taking the pill he’s going to get his noble 😂😂😉 prize
Hopefully cardiac arrest
Noble I love it!
Just because Donnie says he’s doing something doesn’t mean he really is. We should all ignore everything he says! 👍
I’m all for him taking the drug. Better him than me finding out the side effects….
Feeber Izer The side effects are known & there is proof it doesn’t work on this virus. I have taken it for SLE & the side effects were rough for me!
The Lunatic in Chief “SHOULD” be ashamed of a lot of things , but he is incapable of shame .. so.. it won’t happen for this or anything else !
Add to the overweight and heart problem his constant sniffing like he just ran a marathon after a walk to the rose garden or press room.
Funny how every time this clown gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar, he springs some outrageous story to deflect and change the topic. Never mind the fact that some people will die if they take hydroxychloroquine.
Firing the IG who was investigsting Mike Pompeo and the selling of arms to Saudi Arabia is what Vile Twitler is distracting from.
It’s not toxic. It’s a safe drug given in billion doses for the last 50y
@samsung a10 – it’s not been tested for use of covod-19. And yes, it can be toxic to some people.
Trump knows more than the generals, intel community, all the world’s leading scientists amd pf course the doctors, according to him. Truth is, he’s an evil clown.
@Joan Meijer I definitely will ask for the treatment HCQ azithromacin and zinc if I get the virus..and no, not because I listen to Trump or those against ..I get independent information and so far, the combo with HCQ seems to work.. just review the study published in Lancet major medical journal about HCQ activity against coronaviruses..I recommend not listening to any politician including Pelosi who calls trump morbidly obese because he is not, he is overweight… a war for November 1 vote..
@Samou Semana & Y did Syria & that other country do that? Didn’t Bush Jr invade A neighbor of those countries? & Didn’t our coalition forces drive da radical Islam state out of dat country? & Into those countries? Thus Bussard was already fighting a rebellion, N da North of Syria, & those radical Islamic rebels aka ISIS joined N dat revolution against Syria. Obama inherited Bush Jr war, which was already N progress which he got elected. So look before Ya speak. Not did OB inherit Bush Jr war, but also his failed million of $ bailout of da Auto industry, plus he had two virus outbreaks to deal with & did a great job of handling them as well. Cause we didn’t have no 90 some thousand people die from em.
@Terry Williams I am sorry to tell you that what you are saying is what was told to American people by corporate media fake news and the vicious Hillary and her clan. .the truth is very different from what you hear in TV. BTW, I am independent, voted for Obama once, voted for Bernie, Kerry, and supported Ron Paul. I didn’t vote for either Hillary nor trump and may do the same because I disagree with Trump policies against Iran, Palestinians, and his money love affair with Saudi Arabia. However. I believe his foreign policy is better than that of Obama and of course Bush; he didn’t start a war and he plans to spend the trillions spent destroying counties here. That being said, his policies are not perfect. Democrats have been so vicious, it’s appaling… will never vote for Joe who actively promoted the war against Iraq and yes, if Hillary was elected another war would have erupted. I used to believe Democrats may be better than others, no I don’t think so. I live in California, the 4th largest economy in the world, super liberal and supposedly human..come visit just one area: LA .. a disaster ,
