Trump admitted he takes hydroxychloroquine, despite testing negative for coronavirus. But health experts warn doing so could lead to serious heart problems and other complications from the decades-old drug.

President Donald Trump’s startling admission Monday that he is taking hydroxychloroquine despite testing negative for the coronavirus alarmed health experts, who cautioned that people who follow his lead risk serious heart problems and other complications from the decades-old drug.

“That seems to me to be a crazy thing to do,” said David Juurlink, head of clinical pharmacology at the University of Toronto. “If the drug had no side effects, it would be a reasonable thing to do.” Trump’s doctor, Sean Conley, said he and the president had “numerous discussions” about the evidence surrounding hydroxychloroquine, according to a newly released White House memo that didn't specify a treatment regimen.Experts also worried that Trump’s latest comments would spark another dash to scoop up hydroxychloroquine, which has been on FDA’s shortage list since late March after the president began hyping the drug as a potential treatment.

28/7/20. Dr Trump still does. Dr :-)) Bolsonaro (Br) too😂🤣🤪

What are the odds Trumps telling the truth this time?

Trying to thin the herd.

FakeNews

So then this is great news! Double the script Donnie!

Jesus Christ, will people stop saying he admitted it? There’s no proof that he’s actually taking it and chances are very high that he’s LYING.

Being asymptomatic and in poor physical condition ( obese ) ... he’s rolling the dice . Celebrities have a long, poor history of prescribing practices.. Elvis, Michael Jackson, Prince to name a few .. ended less than good.

And they r his fr? Ridiculous

Trump family/friends have a financial interest in hydroxychloriquine. First rule of the sales pitch is to tell potential buyers you use it yourself or have one yourself. Trump just lies

Again. He does not look healthy. Drug or no drug.

It’s not like one could get it without a prescription so calm down

This Lying guy will do and say anything to to try making a point. What a genuine Ass .....

He has the best physicians available, relax.

There's more to this story I'm sure! LOL

He's a liar.

Just further evidence that Trump is an absolute moron.

He's already got serious health problems, he's obese, suffering from dementia and a narcissist, what's one more issue?

There's no heart in there.

pushing the drug

he lies

Eh if he really is taking him let him, and hopefully his Drs. Have more common sense, but they are doing the world a favor if he develops heart issues. I hate to sound mean, but it’s time his awful advice bit him in the ass

Pretty pretty please?)

Who cares? What is the WH plan for testing and contact tracing?

He is lying

'Trump lied that he's taking...' Fixed it for you. 🤨

Serious heart problems - but wouldn't he have to HAVE a heart?

yet hes still alive and healthy! he must be SUPERMAN

Not true.

Don't be so fucking credulous. He didn't 'admit.' He CLAIMED. Huge difference.

He’s lost his way

I want to see him take the pill

Dude, he lies. Why do people believe he takes hydrochloroquine. He wants to be right after shoving it on everyone. People will take it bc he pushes it. Those that don’t die will say he is a genius and saved their life.

False. Those are not health experts

His Rx critics are morons, they are NOT Trump's M.D. They have no idea as to dosage nor his M.D.'s [like an army of them] medical advice. Trump need not tell all to the MSM, particularly re other Rx and if OTC supplements he consumes.

He is so full of shit !!

Explains his erratic behavior it’s the drugs talking better down that bleach cocktail 🍸🤡🤡🤡🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️

Keep us posted on how that drug is working for you realDonaldTrump I'm sure the 80,000 families that lost loved ones would like to know

Admit? Claims.

I can't be the only one tired of the trump circus.

🤞

1. He’s a liar. 2. Rick Bright was on 60Minutes last night, so he’s trying to make him wrong. TrumpIsAMoron

and other health experts have said the opposite. Anyway, he was prescribed it.

He lies

this is why you need to quit listening to the shit coming out of his mouth. this is a lark. a jest. a bit of hyperbole to send the media on a wild goosechase. it was only thrown out for evangelicals to say: 'oh look he took it and survived, lets all hail our fatted golden calf.'

Trump is insane. Don't try to rationalize it because that's also insanity.

Bullsh*t

Trump says he is taking hydroxychloroquine though health experts question its effectivenessPresident Donald Trump claimed Monday he is taking daily doses of hydroxychloroquine, a drug he's long touted as a potential coronavirus cure even as medical experts and the US Food and Drug Administration question its efficacy and warn of potentially harmful side effects. This is all good news! He should take a great amount of it. Maybe even the greatest amount he can get his bloated orange hands on. And early he said Obama was grossly incompetent president LOL!!! he's truly a loon!!! He's not taking it. He just won't admit he was wrong
