    1. @Bud Fudlacker are you stupid or did you suffer some kind of head-injury….I truly hope it is the latter. When you are prescribed an anti-malarial it is because the chances of survival are probably higher than dying from certain strains of it. And to get the prescription for it, you need to undergo a medical examination to determine that potential danger-ratio to you and every individual – who differs from every other. It i snot some kind of guaranteed pill to fix anything. There are risks and benefits. Oh why does one bother. Please Bud – go on and take it. Share your experiences of it. Be sure to swallow it down with agent clorox while you at it. You GO BUD!!!!

    2. Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution developed by the English naturalist Charles Darwin (1809–1882) and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual’s ability to compete, survive, and reproduce. ❤️

    3. @bill I have come to question the underlying wisdom of Darwinism in these times especially with the likes of @Bud Fudlacker walking and breathing in defiance of the principle

    4. @Bud Fudlacker If YOU were violently ill with Malaria, you wouldn’t be worrying about it affect a preexisting Heart Condition – you’d just be hoping to survive Malaria. Trump is mocking the Medical Community with this stunt, that is all. This is going to turn out just like the Disinfectant remark – with Poison Control Call Centers having to waste their time telling a bunch of nervous-nelly Trump Supporters NOT to take the Drug – Just because the Tangerine Turd CLAIMED he is using it.

  1. “Breaths. Stands up. Clears throat.” First let me start by saying ” if he wants to take it thats his choice and his alone. But as a neutural observer ive watched this whole covid thing unveil right before my eyes. I’m shocked but I also understand were both sides are coming from and honestly it doesn’t matter what the numbers really are. This thing we are dealing with is very real. Yes, I want stuff to open back up. I want my barber to open to cut my hair and I won’t switch up on him like that 🤙🤙 but WHAT I’m saying is, that if we are going to start moving we need to stay Smart about it. Look at all these people in wildwood nj this weekend on the boardwalk without masks on. Yeah get it some people think it’ll be a biohazard issue with people dropping them cause the townships dont want to put out more money than they think they should for these “inevitable measures” that should without a doubt be taken. But let me ask you this.. which is the lesser of two evils? Would we rather have to put out a little extra money for the city workers to get what they need to clean the mess? Yes. But what that’s also mean is we’d be helping in slowing the spread of something that could be spread to someone closest to us. Your wife, kids, grandkids.. like get what I’m saying? We’re not being smart in this vicious rush to venture out make money and have fun. I’m all about money, it’s how I support my ever-growing family. But eventually money comes at a cost. One, are you willing to pay?? ✌🙏 just slow the pace!! And think smart. We’re rushing to quick into an unknown.

    1. If we can at least get in step together and everybody wear a mask when in public at least do that America, it makes all the difference in lowering the number of cases.
      Look at Hong Kong. Everybody there wear masks like their lives depend on it.
      Their numbers are virtually unchanged why, masking and universal precautions and testing, scanning, tracing, separate to quarintine. It’s working if we all take it seriously and trust the science. We have a much better chance of surving this Pandemic.

  2. Check his and his family’s investment portfolio you will find he has heavily invested in the company that produces it

    1. I would not go so far as to say “heavily” – it is in fact a modest investment in a mutual-fund that itself has a large holding in Sanofi, a manufacturer of the stuff.

    2. @TheDesertsweeper the point is he is only promoting it so he and his family will profit he dose not care how many people are lost to the crisis he only cares how he can profit from it

  3. Hydroxychloroquine actually works if you mix it with disinfectant and gasoline. 🍺
    PS. Dont smoke when drinking this brew. 🔥

    1. @Bud Fudlacker what a ridiculous comment to make….you should be ashamed but just like your excuse of a president, you have no shame

    2. @Carine Zitella Dementia Joe said the China travel ban is xenophobic! While Rotting Corpse Pelosi said it is RACIST and encouraged people to gather in China town! So ridiculous yes but when talking about democrats you will have that more times than not!

  4. Tune in next week when t’rump injects himself with Clorox to prove to everyone that he wasn’t dead wrong about it stopping the Corona. 😄😅

    1. …more likely he will force McD to announce their sauce packet choice now includes sweet’n-chloroquine 😆..🤧..😷

  5. You’re not a real Trump Supporter unless you try the hydroxychloroquine like your leader Trump says he does…… change my mind

    1. that is easy to answer – chief orange-turd himself of course – he has vested interests in Sanofi Inc – manufacturer of Plaquenil. Oh him and Wilbur Ross too

  6. Why not round up your followers ala James Jones and have them take Chloroquine to prove their loyalty!

  7. The orange oxymoroqueen doesn’t give a crud about anyone…so seniors citizrens are screwed, and vets, and you and me and my dog

  8. Honestly-you think he’s taking medication for votes. You guys are as desperate as you are ridiculous. Now it’s a cultural symbol-you just went from funny to pathetic!

    1. no 🙁
      he is lying
      it is all the trump knows
      and any stupid enough to follow suit, deserve what they get

    2. @long nose 239lbs and 6feet 3 is Obese- check the BMI calculator liar. . He is NOT 6 feet3 just lying again.

    1. Since he lies about everything why believe that he’s telling the truth this time? It’s simply out of character for him to ever tell the truth. Period.

  9. It is time to let go..if he takes it or not..we don’t really care.However the arms sales to the Saudi,we do care

  10. “Isn’t there a danger of the president…”
    Yes, there is a “danger of the president”.
