    1. No matter what Trump does, even the simple, everyday act of consulting with a doctor before taking a prescription drug, the sociopathic media would rather see people die of the coronavirus than saved by something Trump supports.

  1. Trump will say anything to take the heat off of his taxes being brought up to the forefront of the supreme court.

    1. Taxes, Pompeo, 90,000 dead Americans….. and all his other failures. I got to hand it to him he did change the news cycle.

    2. No matter what Trump does, even the simple, everyday act of consulting with a doctor before taking a prescription drug, the sociopathic media would rather see people die of the coronavirus than saved by something Trump supports.

    3. @Richard Batchelder so to me it sounds like you really do care for the people that are dying and I personally appreciate that. I wish I could get you to see that this is what Trump is doing to the media. He is telling them he is taking the drug so that he can distract from the original story of Mike Pompeo. The media is falling for it. You have the premise very wrong you are saying he is consulting with a doctor when he is saying he is taking the drug. The drug is not used to prevent you from getting covid but to protect you once you have it. So him telling them he is taking a drug, which also is bad for those with heart problems and he has a heart problem, that he has no reason to take. It would be like you saying I am on a regiment of antibiotics. The question would be what are you taking it for and you saying just because what could it harm. As far as how many deaths we have we wouldn’t have so many if he had stepped into leadership from the beginning back when he closed flights to prevent the virus from coming here. He failed terribly and over 90,000 Americans paid with their lives. So if he really cared about America he would have been honest in the beginning. He is not trying to save lives he is trying to sale hydroxychloroquine while changing the subject from Pompeo.

    4. Worked…HUH.. ???? Leftie news clowns took the bait and ran with it…. Hilarious.!!!!!

    1. Rob Miller – The fact that he was saying words out of his mouth was your clue he was lying.

    1. This is ridiculous
      Hydroxychlorocin is the most prescribed drug after aspirin, it’s been given to 1 billion travelers and african children for 40 years.
      WE Don’t need or want your vac#ine nor your dystopian biometric ID
      It’s time to stop this scammy hold up against the whole worlds population

    1. @Minho Kim – Point of personal privilege! Point of personal privilege!
      Please do not use gendered language to address someone!

    2. @Alexey Bettencourt You said it’s ok to make fun of fat women because Pelosi made fun of Trump. So you’re basically saying Trump is a fat woman.

    1. No matter what Trump does, even the simple, everyday act of consulting with a doctor before taking a prescription drug, the sociopathic media would rather see people die of the coronavirus than saved by something Trump supports.

  2. Omg 🤦‍♂️. If they ever create Jonestown 2 it’s gonna be based on Trump and his supporters

    1. “Drink the Kool Aid. What have you got to lose? It might work it might not, but it won’t do any more harm!”

    2. ​ @Christine Wright – Woman whose husband drank fish-tank cleaner to ward off coronavirus is a Democrat Party supporter

      FIRST BLEACH NOW HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE!!!
      How many more Democrat Party supporters must be lost, before something is done!?!?!

    3. He should not consume all those that he has brought . Should have some to all those buddies at Fox News as well as Dr Oz

  3. He’s made a personal investment in this drug and he needs to at least break even. Another failed business deal.☠️

    1. No matter what Trump does, even the simple, everyday act of consulting with a doctor before taking a prescription drug, the sociopathic media would rather see people die of the coronavirus than saved by something Trump supports.

    2. Costa Rica is using hydroxychlorquine and has had very few covid cases. Better than a vaccine

  4. Nancy “his age group”
    Nancy “or shall I say, his weight group”
    That’s a powerful double burn……

    1. Just facts is all …he IS grossly overweight and he IS statistically at far greater health risk where he obviously needs to take much greater care than a young person…not a burn it is just FACT …the “burn” on him is via his OWN actions and words!

    2. Anyone supporting Trump is being reckless with their vote and intentions …maybe too late but you all SHOULD have DEMANDED a better candidate! WTF is wrong with you all??? Egging on a mentally Trump (by supporting him) is just SICK IMHO

  5. What did I learn from Hitler as a German? Never follow a leader who has neither values ​​nor reason!

    1. Germans also had their heads in the sand while millions of people were being butchered..

    2. I don’t see where you have a dog in this fight…! But,, aside from that you haven’t got a clue as to what you are talking about and I have logic and reasoning behind my comment…! Before you open your big mouth again, take a look at this other ABC NEWS video YouTube and then come back with a comment.as to whether it works or not…!
      Dr. Anthony Cardillo LA. California Before you watch this REMEMBER, he is the President of the USA…!

    3. Gesmany is doing GREAT. Decades ago, they made it a crime to even own Nazi paraphernalia. And, white supremacists cannot get1permits to55 d parades,. rallies. If they try, they are all arrested.

      Saw an article a couple of months ago. Some tourist in Germany was standing in front of this building, studying it, and then he gave a Nazi salute. A jogger, near by, ran over to him, punched him, knocked him to the ground, and continued with his job. A German police officer, who had observed this, came over, helped the tourist up, and then AREESTED him for the Nazi salute. They showed video to back up the story. We. in the US, need MORE of tthat. Congrats to you all.

    1. No matter what Trump does, even the simple, everyday act of consulting with a doctor before taking a prescription drug, the sociopathic media would rather see people die of the coronavirus than saved by something Trump supports.

  6. Honestly, I think this is one of his improvised lies. “I take it, I´m fine, so I’m right with this medicine”.

    1. No
      It has been proven effective on thousands of covid patients here in France
      Mortality rate since january is 0.5% and only one death under 70.
      They want to sell the vaccine and the dystopian biometric ID

    2. No matter what Trump does, even the simple, everyday act of consulting with a doctor before taking a prescription drug, the sociopathic media would rather see people die of the coronavirus than saved by something Trump supports.

    3. And without the treatment the mortality rate has been five times higher including young people
      The media and Fauci are traitors and murderers

  7. My immediate reaction was:

    1. He’s lying again.
    2. My god he’s lying again because of the 60 Minutes interview with Dr. Bright who refused to promote the drug.

    1. Dr. Bright was in trouble at his job waay before he refused to promote hydroxychloroquine. Bright is using it as an excuse because he wasn’t getting along with his co-workers. Democrats are trying to prop up the hydroxychloroquine angle.

    1. And if a Republican politician said that about a Democrat politician, there would bev24/7 fat shaming coverage. Panels would be formed. Psychiatrists as guests on MSNBC discussing the psychological problems caused by people that fat shame. Perhaps a call for them to step down or retire. Democrats are hypocrites. Women must be believed in sexual harassment cases as long as its against Republicans but there is a process to go through before anything to be considered if the complaint is against a Democrat

  8. I swear, I could see it materialize in his head right before he said, “I’m taking it.” I agree with Joe, he’s not taking it. (Ooh, Nancy’s gonna pay for the M.O. comment.)

    1. @Dan Nelson if Trump is lying because he knows better not to take it it’s based on taking the advice of experts. Where else would that come from. it’s not a big deal though being a rational thinking moderate is difficult I have to go back and deal with someone else now who called me a staunch liberal because of something I said against Trump somewhere else.also, I’m just trying to point out that you can’t have it both ways either Trump was lying because he knows better from taking the advice of experts or he doesn’t take the advice of experts which is why he’s taking the hydroxychloroquine. It’s one or the other.

    2. ​@Christopher Donahue You don’t know he is lying and what if he is taking it who cares..! If you did a little more research you would find that it is a widely used drug and from what I can tell not that many reports of side effects. He may have chosen to take it based on the fact that if he gained any immunity to COVID-19 it would be worth it..! I think Trump is in a position that he feels that,,, Failure is not an option…!
      There is a ABC NEWS YouTube with Dr. Anthony Cardillo in LA California that is having dramatic results from hydroxychloroquine and ZINC you should listen too..!

    3. You’re right. This was not a premeditated lie. It was a spur of the moment lie. A few days from now he’ll say that he was just joking.

    1. @AnarchoRepublican She wasn’t shaming anyone. Morbid obesity is a medical term used in clinics and hospitals worldwide. It is no more shaming to say that Donald Trump has an orange face, is a pathological liar or is morbidly obese. All are facts determined by visual, cognitive, auditory or clinical observation.
