Trump Claims He's Taking Hydroxychloroquine As U.S. Deaths Top 91,000 | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

Hydroxychloroquine user Donald Trump caused an outcry on Friday when he fired the Inspector General of the State Department at the behest of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who was reportedly refusing to cooperate with a probe into an $8b arms deal with Saudi Arabia.

I'm proud of Trump. Time to talk to my doctor again, how can she refuse my request for hydroxychloroquine now that the President of the United States has shown such courage of conviction?

Are you saying that you are proud of Trump for taking Hydroxychloroquine?

I expected Trump to take hydroxychloroquine Ron. I'm proud of him that he announced it.

You and a few others think the same way.

Trump says he's been taking hydroxychloroquine despite safety concerns

President Trump on Monday revealed he's taking hydroxychloroquine, a controversial drug that he's championed as a potential treatment for coronavirus despite limited evidence from the medical community.

The president said he consulted with the White House doctor about taking the drug, but it was not explicitly recommended for him since he has not tested positive for the virus.

"I asked him what do you think," Trump said. "He said, 'Well if you’d like it.' I said, 'Yeah, I’d like it. I’d like to take it.' "

"In consultation with our inter-agency partners and subject matter experts around the country, I continue to monitor the myriad studies investigating potential COVID-19 therapies, and I anticipate employing the same shared medical decision making based on the evidence at hand in the future," Conley wrote.

All the evidence needed for Trump's decision is present Ron.

And what is THAT?

The evidence that matters to Trump, the only evidence that matters at all. I thought you valued civil liberty.

What is that evidence Steve?

I can tell you what my evidence is Ron and as far as Trump's it's none of your business.

That is because you have not seen any evidence. Not even YOU Steve, would take medications to a non-existing medical problem, now would you?

The only reason I haven't taken hydroxychloroquine for protection from the Wuhan virus is because my health care has been interfered with by big heads like Dr. Brite.
