8 favourite responses to Trump’s wild claim to be taking hydroxychloroquine
Against the advice of the White House Covid-19 response medics, Donald Trump has been urging people to take hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug also used for the treatment of rheumatic conditions, as a coronavirus preventative.
In fact, the FDA has specifically warned against taking the medication unless prescribed it, due to its serious side effects, which can be fatal.
Then this happened …

Aaron Rupar couldn’t help speculating on where it all might be leading.
We're a press conference or two away from Trump announcing he's mainlining bleach and getting sunlight treatments inside his body https://t.co/gfaRLj5Zog

At least now we know “good presidenting” is not a side effect of hydroxychloroquine.

If Sean Hannity isn't doing lines of hydroxychloroquine live on Fox News tonight then he is officially a MAGA-hating liberal cuck!

So let me get this right. A man who supports people not wearing masks and wants to reopen America is taking an experimental drug for a disease he doesn’t have and a doctor prescribed this and said it’s a good idea?
Trump injecting Bleach is more believable. #Hydroxychloroquine

Trump pretending he took his fake miracle tonic is where he completes his transition from 20th century-style grifter to 19th century-style grifter

Hydroxychloroquine does not cure or prevent COVID-19 and may cause heart problems.
But 40% of America will now pretend it does because The Idiot Alchemist is taking it.

First president to be assassinated by his own IQ

As it’s highly unlikely that the President’s doctor would let him take hydroxychloroquine, we suspect Nick Pettigrew might be onto something.
They're probably just giving the dozy fucker Flinstones vitamins or Tic Tacs and telling him its Hydroxychloroquine. https://t.co/PvzTGeTMwH
