President Trump Admitted to Taking Hydroxychloroquine Daily

President Trump stunned the nation yesterday when he claimed he was taking hydroxychloroquine daily. The president has long praised the unproven malaria drug as a potential coronavirus cure since it was introduced. He said he started taking it a week and a half ago after he received letters from front line responders who said they were taking it preventively. He further added the White House doctor neither advised him nor dissuaded him from doing so. This news has concerned some medical experts and even the FDA who continuously warn against the drug’s harmful side effects. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave an interview yesterday and said, “He’s our president and I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his, shall we say, weight group, that is…morbidly obese, they say. So I think it’s not a good idea.” While President Trump does not qualify as obese, he does have a common form of heart disease.
