    There's so many corrupt things we can talk about in regards to the idiot-in-chief, this just ain't one of them. This is a nothing story.

    We need a list of his medical investments and these need to be banned from circulation.

    I don't think he is pushing it for financial reasons, I think he is pushing it to boost his reelection hopes.

    Same here. Trump make more money off of favors, branding and licensing than passive investments. Dude clinged onto the first bit of false hope and doesn't want to admit any negative results.

    Cure talk (easy stealable win) >>> administrative talk (hard work)

    hur hur, if only we had some emoluments clause in our fundamental rules of governent, a Constitution of sorts.

    Or maybe some way of divesting assets into a blind trust to remove base suspicions over conflicts of interest.

    For shame leftist media. For shammmmmme!!

    I dont disagree with your proposal. But if the drug is working at a time like this, sort it out later.

    Haven't really read much into this fake battleground Trump and reporters are sparring over... I think it's odd Trump is overselling the drug as part of his cheerleading. I also think whatever drug he promotes would probably cause a logistical and bedside nightmare for everyone. At least chloroquine is old and well known in its side effects.

    There isn't any evidence that it is working, but it does have negative side effects and may be doing more harm than good. I just think we need to wait for the data really.

    Agreed. Besides, his investment in it is so minuscule that it wouldn't profit hardly anything. Certainly not enough to publicly push the drug as a cure.

    What evidence do you have that it’s working? The study out of China that still had 40% of the patients seeing no affect?

    A doctor I saw yesterday noted that what they think is happening is that HC is changing your bodies PH level and that’s having some reaction to your immune system, but even doctors have no idea how it’s really affecting the virus.

    I will say it again... if Im admitted (heaven forbid) and my doctor wants me to try the drug I will take it. The fact that Trumpers think this is a partisan issue is bizarre.

    NOBODY... I mean NOBODY does not want a cure or effective treatment. Trumpers who keep inferring this have their heads up their ass. If you can’t see the difference in calling out what Trump is doing vs rationally hoping for a fully tested drug to help save lives, I don’t know what to tell you. Criticizing the BS that you know Trump is doing is NOT the same as hoping against a cure. That’s garbage.

    I agree with you and Lou, but the fact is we really have no idea what he is or is not financially invested, who loans him money, etc. We know he’ll even get impeached to avoid any of it going public and what we know about his taxes from the NYT report tells us all we need to know. The guy is a white collar criminal and a cheat. He’s as crooked as a dogs hind leg.

    So there’s really no point in this case in really spending too much energy debating that part although it would be unsurprising.

    That being said in this case it’s probably not about money. It’s about politics and narcissism. He’s been in the clairvoyance business for his entire public life. See his 9/11 prediction.

    I think this. He is latching onto what seems like a miracle cure so it gives him an excuse to open the economy and an easy out from this pandemic.

    I didn't really think about it from that angle (excuse to open economy). If that's really the case then he's even dumber than I initially thought. Lindsay Graham is a self serving hack, but isn't an idiot. His advice to Trump to tell him that if he forces a re-opening of the economy he will own every death from that point on was spot on.

    Trump is truly a world class moron.

    This argument actually makes total sense but I bet he is getting pressure from parties that he has financial interest with.

    the only thing is that he has backed of on opening up the economy but still is hawking this product.

    Who the hell knows.

    Occams Razor. Maybe he's just an old ignorant right winger who believes internet snake oil salesman. My bet is narcissistic prediction so he can pump up his ego that he has god like clairvoyance.
