You know that snake oil Trump has been selling nightly on his TV show?

(Less colored language (traitor) is preferable, if you dont want to stir emotions, but inform instead. ;) )

Thanks for the news, I didnt know that trials had finished on that one. :)

Also dont look at the numbers in that study too closely (president could have been actually harming people, who were following his advise...) only gets you in one of those moods.. ;) (And this study alone isnt enough to say if that part is a general trend, so even thats not conclusive, without others confirming it.))

I'll be blunt : the people dumb enough to believe Trump deserve what they get: an expensive placebo.
That it's worse than a placebo among corona patients is unfortunate, but again : they had enough years to wise up. Them being dead doesn't make them less stupid.

We heard about this as a possible treatment months ago. Dont know exactly what this has to do with Trump. Its been touted as a treatment globally.

Im sure he was told this was a potential solution by his team.

You're confused. "What has this to do with X?" "X's team must've told him... oh...."

Spoiler alert: It has to do with him because he has been tweeting/ talking about it. Which he shouldn't have been, because it's dangerous.

https://www.democracynow.org/2020/4...d_after_patients_develop_irregular_heart_rate

but this has been theorised for months as a potential treatment by all sorts of health experts and scientists globally. If the data comes out from enough trials that it doesnt actually help then scrap that idea and back to the drawing board.

I dont know exactly how pondering possible solutions that have been discussed by the medical community is exclusively trumps fault. Would you rather he be silent and not say theyre working on potential treatments? Im sure you would spin that too and say his silence is killing people as well.

Links?

Getting real fucking bored of this 'he was just thinking out loud' argument. You don't do that shit in a daily WH briefing. It results in morons who like Dump using substances they shouldn't be and then taking up hospital beds that should go to decent, genuine cases.

""A recent open-label nonrandomized French study of 36 patients reported improved virologic clearance with hydroxychloroquine, 200 mg, by mouth every 8 hours compared with control patients receiving standard supportive care."

So a French study showed promising results. Quick, think of a way to blame Trump for those French scientists!

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11325348/malaria-drug-hydroxychlororquine-coronavirus/

"Thirty-seven per cent of the 6,200 physicians from 30 countries questioned in a survey said that hydroxychloroquine is the best therapy on the market."

"Conducted by Sermo, the global poll of doctors found the malaria drug was most commonly used by doctors in Spain – 72 per cent of physicians – to treat COVID-19. Medics in Italy (53 per cent) and China (44 per cent) had also used the medicine to treat coronavirus victims."

72% of physcians in france, china, italy and spain are selling snake oil? This is all Trumps fault clearly.

I'm sure people are equally bored with the insinuation that everything Donald Trump does is malicious 100% of the time. You're willing to pretend that it was an intentional deception and nobody else in the world was involved simply because you want to continue to paint him as a villain. How long are we going to persist in this childish behaviour?

D-D-D-DEFLECTION!!! (The balls on you to go on about 'childish behaviour').

Name one benevolent thing Gump has done.

Those articles are from March and April. You alleged 'for months'. That is why I specifically quoted you. That was my disbelief. I already know it's not a safe treatment, 11 out of 81 dead in a trial in Brazil. Gimme some links from last year for example.

Is the insinuation in your response that Trump has performed zero benevolent acts in the course of his life? I was being hyperbolic in framing you this way but I guess that's fine. This makes you look like a caricature of an activist though. Conversations would be more productive if you could be reasonable.

If you live in the states and dislike trump, move out of the county then. Everyone is sick and tired of all you little cry babies that just have to constantly say “trump bad!” Over every little thing he does. Last I checked, none of you little fuckers are perfect either.

His presidency. C'mon deflecting dude, name a few things.

Thankfully I don't, and that's not how any of this works. Did we see a mass exodus of rednecks from the states when Obama was pres? No, of course fucking not, get a grip.


Nah.

D-D-D-DDEFLECTION!!!!

Not everyone is a president of a hugely powerful country.

No one is asking him to be perfect either.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Plelase stop projecting. I don't appreciate your effort to reframe the conversation, it's vapid and reeks of insecurity. I'm not interested in Trump, I'm interested in why you behave the way that you do.
