Fact check: President Trump claimed the Food and Drug Administration had approved the 'very powerful' drug chloroquine to treat coronavirus. But chloroquine has not been approved by the FDA to treat the coronavirus -- and nor has any other drug.

Washington President Donald Trump claimed during a White House briefing on Thursday that the Food and Drug Administration had approved the"very powerful" drug chloroquine to treat coronavirus.

Chloroquine is used to treat malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis."It's shown very encouraging -- very, very encouraging early results. And we're going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately. And that's where the FDA has been so great. They -- they've gone through the approval process; it's been approved. And they did it -- they took it down from many, many months to immediate.

Wrongly claimed? CNN, do better. People are going to die because of this.

Such an ignorant man!!! Why do the American people put up with this This man loves to lie!!!

I wanna know what's going on in the so called the world's most powerful President.

Hey why don’t u report on how trump honored MLK day while the mainstream media was terrorizing him. And to those who say trump is racist, not even the extended family of dr Martin Luther king jr think he is racist. Listen to the interview of Fox News

What good does this do? I seriously hope for the demise of CNN

But it will treat it,

Lovefefee Trump, you fired

The quicker this incapable leader leaves the white house the better.

Danger to the public...TrumpVirusCoverup

The snake oil salesman at work...

realDonaldTrump please step aside & let someone who understands take over 🙏🏻 asking for 320 million friends

It’s been approved by the FDA and has treated Corona successfully, you hacks

Wrong...he stated it’s been approved for other diseases already....it’s being used off label and that happens all the time with dugs. Figure it out clowns

You guys suck!! He said it’s FDA approved and has shown promise in fighting CoronaVirus symptoms!

Lies. Of course

Guess .cnn hasn’t seen the latest. Y’all a bunch of turds

Go to hell cnn

claudia79912 And it's not an anti viral drug. Nor is it safe as the clinical dose is so close to the toxic dose one must be very very careful with it

Trumpolalia

CNN-communist news network

Fact check , cnn IS FAKE NEWS !!!!!

NO HE DIDN’T Watched it LIVE & clearly understood he was saying the drug itself was already approved. It’s been around a long time for treating Malaria! Most travelers & the military are familiar with it. This kind of nonsense “reporting” does not help ANYONE 🙄

It was clarified by Dr Fauci. Trump just kept saying it looked promising. You never report the whole truth do you? I watch the news conferences. Anything that is misspoke gets clarified. But you don’t report that. FAKE NEWS!

B.s. You are the enemy of the people

Many drugs are used in treatment that are used for”off label” use because the drugs are effective in that medical problem but the manufacturer has not seeked FDA approval.

It is basically approved, though not specifically, and doctors are allowed to use it for treatment. Semantics, assholes.

~ so it’s approved for trials against COVID19

Off label use is approved.....

COMPASSIONATE USE! Look it up idiots!

The FDA never approveda drug that cured anything ever! coronavirus

Chloroquine is already being used to treat WuhanCoronaVirus with great results. Even without FDA approval for this virus, it's still being used 'off label' and saving lives. Maybe you should have reported that, CNN.

I watched the news conference. More Americans are getting their news directly from the president and his team. Because of this it is more obvious then ever how CNN distorts the presidents message. You are fakenewsCNN

He said the drug has been approved by the FDA. In fact it has. And it has been in use for many years and human side effects are pretty much know. It has not been used against the China Virus.

I want to know people who will vote for him again....

Fake news. Factcheck yourself. Although there are no designated/specific treatments at this time, chloroquine can be prescribed by Dr. on a discretionary basis.

You don’t seek praise and brag how great you are, you do your best, that’s all you should worry about. Trump definitely has mental issues, even though I like some of his policies!

This man should NOT be talking during a public health crisis

Who cares? Everything needs to be tried. Evil network that will say anything to make Trump look bad. Pure Evil.

, always looking for a way to dicredit his good works. This is not the time to hate but to support. SupportDontHate

The polls came out. Trump numbers up for his handling of covid19 with republicans and democrats.Its attack and lie time at CNN . Not that they ever say anything good about Trump. Does anyone think Trump mite know more of what the FDA ARE DOING Than the Losers at CNN

The FDA approves GMO’s in our food, I don’t trust the FDA as much as I don’t trust trump.

The Liar !

Eating Skittles MAY cure COVID-19....see how that works? It’s wrong to give people false medical info....I can’t believe I have to say that about the POTUS. Next he’ll claim it worked and everyone is cured. Don’t mind those bodies...just go back to work.

Maybe he got confused with cocaine !!! TrumpPademic

Doh....FDA your supposed to say yes!

🙂🙂

People will find it on the black market and do serious damage to themselves — See Donald, you’re even killing people that probably would have recovered on their own.

TrumpArrogance TrumpIgnorance approved the drug

Tell him to try that first, and see what happens (quoted)

Shut up.

If the medicine can prevent and stop death and suffering of d world population what is d big deal ? If it’s not approved then have it approved for the sake of people of the world.

Why are we still airing these briefings?

Just say it. Trump lies as usual.

CNN doing agood job this time

That's cuz there's a few sick folks that have tested positive have used it and there family said they are feeling better after the use of the drug!!

And the stupid award goes to 🤪

Idiot

Smh

Right about now he'd say anything to get off the hook for acting mentally challenged for 2 months about the virus letting it spread while in the background was trying to buy exclusive rights to a vaccine, that's why there's no plan a or b because he never intended to prevent it.

Chloroquine is used to treat malaria

He should be impeached again for allthis lying! He is costing people’s lives every time he opens his stupid mouth!

Seriously tho needs to stop entertaining this clown. We’re better off with CNN without Trump news gadmmit

Is chloroquine not used for malaria treatment when was it tested and found ok for COVID-19

Gilead ' remdesivir' vaccine is the only one waiting approval from FDA to be use for coronavirus in the world

Please update everyone of it has been used and what was the outcome.

Fact check. His claim was in context of and reference to approval for compassionate use of the drug. Of course, you leftists at know this but keep on with your misinformation campaign. This is why nobody believes you

Didier Raoult, the professor ranked number one in the world among experts on communicable diseases according to the latest Expertsace ranking thinks it works well. US_FDA needs to get it approved. They’re lack of action is deadly

OgbeniDipo your people will die of ignorance please tell them this

It's not a fact check, and he did not wrongly claim something. Trump fucking lied. It's time to ignore him, and only broadcast the experts. He's going to get people killed. Cut to something else when Trump, Pence, or any other bootlicker gets up to the mic.

The nba players aint getting that weak ass shit

WHAT!! Stop lying to us 🥺 We’re humans, not experiments

he hears what he wants. he says what he wants. he lies when he wants. he is rude when he wants. he fear mongers when he wants. he is racist when he wants. he is no president. covid19 presidentfail

اتحدى هناك دواء واحد فقط لاغير يعالج الانفجار الرئوي امن على الطفال وكبار السن ولايكلف الفرد سوى دولار واحد ويعقم الجوا من الغازات الضاره تماما اين هيئة الدواء والغذاء والمهتمين دواء فعال وناجح ١٠٠/١٠٠

He didn’t say that. Show the clip where he said it The drug has been cleared for malaria by the FDA and technically, anyone with coronavirus can take it. We don’t know if it will for sure work. Trump was optimistic “what do we have to lose at this point.” God forbid.

Looool

Actually, he didn’t say that. I’ve been taking this drug for 15 years. It’s an approved drug for other health issues, but needs to be approved for use against Coronavirus. He said they cut through red tape to make it approved faster. Stop lying to your audience who believes you.

Trump's routine is nothing more than exaggerating to show his ability, in fact, to make himself appear more stupid. Who vowed the other day that it was just flu

This drug has been used since 1941 so they know what it does. Btw...This isn’t meant to be a Trump support message but rather a screw political games message. If it works against this virus give it to people NOW

realDonaldTrump can you just give it to us straight?

Chloroquine can be use for other treatment but not for coronavius

who cares, as long as he can help get this drug out to as many as possible. Brighter minds than Trump or those at CNN, think it at least very helpful, that is the only thing that matters here CNN!

哈哈哈 病急也不能乱用药噻

He never claimed it was approved for coronavirus, he claimed it was an approved drug through the FDA and it is.... CNN are a bunch of haters. This is why CNN is going to fail...you’re worse than the National Enquirer and most smut magazines. Twist a story until it sells....

I took chloroquine every week my first 18 years of life. It protected me from contracting deadly forms of malaria in the tropics of west Africa. I’m willing to give this a try to keep my 14 year old severely asthmatic daughter and my heart-transplant husband alive.

Trump said the drug is approved by FDA and has been for years. He is correct

Trump’s HOAX!

Quit twisting the words around FakeNews

TrumpLiesEverytimeHeSpeaks TrumpLiesAboutCoronavirus TrumpLiesPeopleDie TrumptheWorstPresidentEVER

It's an approved drug by the FDA. It can be used for sympathetic purposes other than Malaria. If he misspoke so what? I expect to see you last in line for treatment should you become infected since all you are STILL doing is attacking for political purposes. You make me sick.

We thank you for the Facts CNN. F.C.C. SHut down the repeat false info spreaders. If you cannot broadcast the truth in a crisis. Time to do something else. Irresponsibility is not a right your guaranteed!

it is an approved drug, for another problem, but it is a safe drug to take, and other countries are using it to help cure the China virus

More fake facts from Dear Leader

And he did not say that. In fact, he said repeatedly that they are looking in to using the drug, and is awaiting the green light. He SAID, that the drug is an already approved by FDA drug. Stop the BS CNN! At least for 90 days. 🤨🙄😡

The truth is Donald Trump was already given the vaccine and is immune because United States were the ones who got CIA to release this virus in China as an attack against China right after the trade war and Huawei issues and this was Donalds way to attack China.

Give him a break! How would you like to be in his place right now! Could you lead better and make better decisions?

The velocity of lies is increasing

He just says shit to people and they nod in agreement even when they know he's totally wrong.

Smh

He needs to stop talking & let the experts speak.

Putting that on my medical chart as a DO NOT use!!

Why doesn't Fake News CNN get a life? All they do is take one word from the President spin it to fit their hatred of him to the viewer. They work for the Democrats and are doing everything to get them elected.

Can you believe anything he says....😏

Actually he is right chloroquine reduces the rate of fibrosis of the lungs.

More lies from an inept liar who cant run the office or the US and drops the ball at every turn He focuses on talking himself up with blatant lies and tearing down those who have done better then he ever could. What the jealous do. Tear down others cause they cant compare and lie

He said it is 'FDA approved'... NOT that it is 'FDA approved to treat Coronavirus'! Once again, lying and twisting words around in the name of 'news'. Pathetic 😡

Nitpicking..

CNN is a joke now

This is bullshit catching of words.The president is not a physician, and the info he gets can get mixed up.Chloroquine is the current treatment, I know this as a physician myself.CNN just tries to harm the repute of Trump in every way,pathetic!

I heard this today “the virus is caused by nature, the situation we are in and lack of preparation was caused by a human” we wasted January and February and should have been stocking test kits, supplies and preparing hospitals. That is fact not fake news.

Lot of Russian military on this vine. I hope your dictator is paying you a serious lump. OUT!

Moron

You should report that the FDA has received the clinical data and will fast track its approval if it is deemed effective.

Stop with the hate CNN

And my sleep medication isn’t approved for sleep THANKS ELIVAL

Gobbledeygook. Listen to what he said instead of what your TDS addled mind wanted to hear.

It is used to treat malaria so it has been through test for side effects ect. So it could be used in people if it has any benefit they repurpose drugs sometime if shown it had benefits for other diseases. Hopefully it will have benefit .

45 has done nothing but lied. It's to be expected.

If the guy said his name is Donald Trump I’d assume he’s lying . SMH

He’s oblivious . He stands there and improvises

But is approved for other diseases and is being tested for this as a treatment, not a vaccine. Tell the whole story.

These are the last days.

My best reply would be as follows

Are they using it to treat?

Keep your fear rhetoric up CNN! You are helping everyone so much!!!

Classic Trump

I’m still waiting on CNN’s Fact Check on Biden/Bernie debate the other night!!!🙄😂

Chloroquine is used to treat some autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis

It’s being tested, is this fact check or closer to semantics? He could be like gov’s from Ohio & NY & mayor from NY scaring everyone. How’s that working?

He’s going to get so many people killed!

FACT: This MoFo Doesn’t Ever know what he’s talking about!!

You people are do pathetic. Get a grip on your coverage for the good of our people.

Wait...Trump is a medical expert, construction guru, fantastic politician, pussy-grabbing master...what am I missing here

So what are they using to treat it then?

How can we trust the administration when we hear the lies coming from both the president and the Vice President and they keep on lying .

Stupid CNN - FDA has granted energe cy approval to use thd drug. Unplug yoursrlf...

is pathetic, politicizing a pandemic

You have such disdain and hate for this President you are no longer objective even in this worldwide crisis. Everything is a criticism of EVERYTHING he does but none of you fools have provided an alternative. SHUT THE HELL UP MAN.

NewDay WHY spreading doubtful infos AND FEAR Short of protection in 2-3weeks Until then POTUS Will resolve it. In 3 weeks lots of things can happen. CNN is dramatizing and want to create PANIC. You're criminals.

Hello CNN stop your fake news.

He just can't stop.....

StayWonked The press conference sounded like a ‘pump and dump’ stock sales pitch.

We have to keep the Donald away from any announcements the involve the TrumpVirus. He has no idea what he’s saying.

cnn I am tired of cnn politicalizing this health issue. Just tell the facts! Fuck politics

Twisting words again, CNN, and misleading your followers. Chloroquine is already an approved drug by the FDA, which is being tested for use to fight Covid19. It's currently used for malaria, lupus and arthritis. -this is why your ratings have sunk. You just have no bottom.

Someone please shut this guy.... duct tape ..or some super glu....

Relax. It is used overseas and off label here. It is approved for other indications and safe.

Isn't Trump the boss of the FDA?

Why aren’t you’re reporters smart enough to point his ignorance and lies DURING the press conference

Another CNN False News report! Trump never said the FDA approved the medicine for the Coronavirus! Stop this misinformation!

That drug has been around since 1930’s!!!!

Trump, himself, will create a great vaccine, a, really big one and China will pay for it.

Probably what realDonaldTrump meant: that US_FDA 'approved' Rx Med(s) 4 'off label' uses re: Covid-19. DrRandPaul 25ccm

The Lies

Why won't he stop lying.

Dumb as shit!

Why don’t you try to be the solution instead of steadily being the problem. Nobody’s perfect, certainly not CNN.

He never said that! He said it has already been approved to fight other disease so it makes it much easier to use it for the Chinese virus

That is not what he said, still at CNN with the gate and fake news

False hopes from a false prophet! It’s very old to keep saying 45 has reached a new low because that would be an oxymoron!

CNN stop politicising any of trump statements if you guys hate him so badly, just register as a party and challenge him in the next election.

Tick tock

That’s not what he said, he stated the drug hag had already been approved by the FDA but didn’t say for the Virus.

Idiots that twists words as usual, confuding the issue for the public. You have no shame. FDA said it has initial approval but requires more testing. President said potentially could be made available a lot faster and has already been approved for human use so no danger. sad

It is an approved drug for malara. You are trying to twist it, it will be rubber stamped for use.

He lives in a fantasy world.

factcheck cnn sucks ...give it a break. Now !!

This drug is FDA approved for doctors to prescribe. They prescribe it for many different things. It does not have to be reapproved. I take it for something other than malaria! CNN is the problem.

Fact check: lies again.

Why lie about it? We know the president is doing everything possible to help now, even if he is behind the curve. Is it to float the stock market?

JUST MORE OF HIS HOAX TO OVERFLOW HIS CUP OF IM A GREAT PERFECT POTUS. LOOKING AT THE REALITY OF THE COUNTRY AND WORLD DECLINE, HISTORY MAY INDEED END WITH HIS RULING KINGDOM. DARKNESS BEGETS ITS LIKENESS!!

I only wish I could be surprised...🤦🏻‍♀️

Doesn’t even rise to the level of mild surprise anymore. Just one lie after another. It is expected and, sadly, accepted as normal from this administration.

If Coronavirus and its impact in the USA does not make US citizens change their President, nothing will do!

ColleenHenley The Pinocchio President

Factcheck CNN FIRST !! He didn't said that. He said that they're TRYING CHOROQUIN AGAINST THE VIRUS. STOP SPREADING DOUBTFUL STATEMENT AND FEAR. USELESS

ColleenHenley More lies

Ya but I bet you anything he has shares in it .. he's only out to line his own pockets in his presidency.. greedy corrupt individual

Trump should have never said that in his briefing-that all FoxNews along with Lindsey Graham was so excited about last night on Tv

Ooohh Wowowow so what it probably does cure it you sick people wish it didn’t and who the hell cares about the FDA’s approval ? that system is corrupted and serves no purpose because they are a pay for play organization!. Enough with your fear mongering BS

Imagine having a leader who just makes shit up.... and sleeps, on the job.

Haaaa

He hears bigly words and tries to incorporate them in his speeches. He had always been sad but to get called out in the exact same press conference 🤦🏻‍♀️ 45 give it up...its embarrassing.

I watched the briefing— he said it was an approved drug that the fda has allowed to be used for chinese Coronavirus— it was approved many years ago so the safety profile is already established—thats what he meant-STOP STIRRING THE POT

CNN and their pathetic lies. This drug has been used massively in China and Italy as “off label medicine”. Instead of fueling their hate, you should educate and inform Trump haters.

Lindy255

Hey CNN! I kept waiting for your fact checking during the debate the other night. I mean they both accused each other of untruths but I never saw the section where you fact checked them. Your biase is exhausting!

And anyone still expects this con man to tell the truth

So he... lied?

He just wanted to announce somthing 'huge'... And all was a BS

Enemy of the people

You haven't wavered much CNN you're still the old Trump basher of fake news

Trump didn’t say the drug was approved for Covid-19, dishonest CNN. He said it was already approved by the FDA for use..... and that’s correct. Truth is that it has been tried and worked for some Coronavirus cases.

Since he says that China caused the virus how about getting with them to see how they're treating ppl the world needs to come together on this since it's global

South Koreans used Chloquinne to treat Covid19 patients successfully. It is a safe drug with very minimal side effects (do your research ppl) , why the beauracracy ? For all you know FDA did approve this drug and CNN being an opportunist is spinning to make Trump look bad.

t’s been approved for use period. I can’t wait until folds for good.

We need to think outside the media box like realDonaldTrump

Nothing new coming from that presidente 😒

He didn’t say it has been approved for the virus. He said it has been approved for other illnesses but is been used as a trial and it is showing potential. Come on CNN

Perhaps Jared Kushner owns the company producing these pills.

The boggey man .

If CNN was in charge, we'd all be dead! Thank God for President Trump. His reaction is indicative of the fact that he cares about people and takes advantage of any opportunity presented to help them. He is both a human being and a leader!!

Once Again Trump and the Truth are miles Apart!

Honestly, the amount of people proving CNN wrong in the comments, combined with the fact that the news was what caused the Covid 19 panic, makes you really not believe them

trump should host a talk show named the daily lies

The mechanism of action of the chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine on SARS-Cov-2, although it seems related to its immunomodulatory effect. According to the few existing studies, chloroquine would block virus infection by increasing the endosomal pH necessary for virus-cell fusion

Trump is always lie, you know

We’re all going to die. TheStand coronapocolypse Are we all going to die ?!

Actually it did

This same drug that has saved millions of lives in Africa is what we are talking and all you guys can talk about is Trump lying?

Cool please tell liberals not to take it.

Chinese communist propoganda is alive and well tonight I see.

What? You think a mere FDA approval will stop the Bullshitter in Chief from creating havoc?

Please shut up. You've made a parody of yourselves.

anotherlie

He’s lying again.

The drug has been used for years

Trump and his friends are hemorrhaging money and selling off is the only way to save themselves! Of course during the Malay of this virus, Trump will allocate money to save his best donors and co conspirators, you can bet that! We can't get a dime though!

Such a narcissistic piece of work... wow. A braggart who shows NO shame nor admission of wrongdoing. This man is not one of the People- he thinks he’s better than you.

Trump probably has better information than all the quacks commenting below. Chloroquine was one of the three drugs used recently in India to cure four Coronavirus patients.

ktwilliams_ CNN IS FAKE NEWWSSS

is devilish. Bad journalism when everyone is trying to save lives. Can you please be supportive at this trying moment.

ok

Fake News

Fuck the FDA...would there be all these commercials for presciption drug injuries if they really did their job? Asking for a friend.

We need to be aware that trump and American politicians only care about one thing now: winning the election! In the face of the stock market crash and the virus, he can do nothing. The only way to do that is to attack the opponents at home and give the allies and China the pot.

Just more b******* coming out of the mouth of a clueless president

Stop listening to this awful man. He will kill all of us!

I wonder how it feels to a Republican who has contracted Coronavirus when they had applauded when Trump called it a hoax.

A born liar.

George Washington - “I cannot tell a lie”....Richard Nixon - ”I cannot tell the truth”….Donald Trump - ”I cannot tell the difference”.

He has to stop with the lies and the bs

Oh darn FACTS again..poor Trump!!

This has now sparked the purchase of Chloroquine in Nigeria. I believe people in other countries will follow.

SUCH A DAMN LIAR!!! SICKENING!!

With DrFauci gone realDonaldTrump will just go rampant with made up solutions and conspiracies. We need real leadership and people who know and are competent back at these briefings. COVID19 plankthecurve TrumpLiesAboutCoronavirus TrumpVirusCoverup

I’ve read that it is being used, somewhat successfully, to treat the virus in an off label manner right now. If it is helping patients, I hope the FDA officially “approves” it for use ASAP.

Shocking. Not.

realDonaldTrump VP Alternative facts? VP he continues to embarrass you....how low are you WILLING to KEEP GOING to support a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR Is your SOUL worth SO LITTLE?

Or maybe he meant it was FDA a proved for other reasons........ So a drug approved by FDA shouldn’t have side effects that it causes cancer or whatever

The problem here is not that Trump gives false information. The problem is that no one has the BALLS to stop him. He does not care about the American people no matter what he says. He’s more worried about the election. One thing I do know is he’s playing us.

All he does is bloody lie and lie and lie! In perpetuity!

Didn't they recently tell Jim Baker to stop pushing untested wonder cures - or else?

Fact Check: CNN will go to any length to insight discontent in Americans just for non-existent ratings.

What is wrong with this..... sigh 😔

It has been approved we have data on how it affects humans and it is approved for human consumption that is a fact that is getting buried a shmere campaign just to discredit the president you dont even mention an opportunity that can save lives with compassionate use be together

KathyLindahl Wait? He stated an untruth?

CNN HATERS have to Hate. FDA right there at the the ready to give factual information on the process. Meanwhile CNN Expects President Trump to be a Dr., Scientist, Military Expert, Logistics officer, etc., etc, While ignoring the Team built to carry out his expectations.

CNN is full of shit.

He's so dumb it's not even funny 🤦🏻‍♂️

He said it has been approved for malaria? for a long time and is being tested for coronavirus. And it was also made clear by the FDA director. Now, guess your misrepresentation has been fact checked.

The drug CAN be prescribed by a doctor to treat the Coronavirus even thou it has not been approved for that by the FDA.

Probably explains why the Dr wasnt there. Would he have gone along with this lie? Hope he's asked about it soon if not already.

Fact Check: Does CNN mean Cable News Network, Chinese News Network, or Communist News Network. I am pretty sure I know but what are the facts?

He meant that it's approval is being fast tracked. He even came back and said that.

Because chloroquine has been approved for other purposes, doctors are legally allowed to prescribe it for the unapproved or 'off-label' use of treating the coronavirus if they want.

Its allowed for compasionate or expanded use, they haven't done clinical trials whether it can 'effectively' treat the virus. That's the point,allowing drs to use it w/out waiting for clinical trials.&if you've been paying attention u ordered/got ur dr to prescribe it a month ago

Seems highly irresponsible

Drugs don’t have to be approved for off-label use.

Why don’t people stop paying ANY attention to CNN? They are liars and the truth is not in them. Listen live to what the President is saying and listen to the questions the media ask. CNN is more concerned about China then the USA. Maybe we found more spies working for China! CNN!

He's gotta say something to get the Stock Market back up. Shameful CoronaVirusProfiteers

It’s the “right to try” drugs🙉

Fact check the fact checkers: he never said this. He said it looks promising and the head of the FDA said they are looking into this as one possibility and will like expand its indication. I watched conference, did you

Clinton news network, are you worried peopls pools are gonna be hurting with out the pool drugs available come summer time?

CNN SUCKS

Really disappointed cnn took this spin to go after the President. You missed the mark on a crucial storyline to the Coronavirus. More research and you would have found what the Chinese and French have done to combat the virus with this drug.

I mean its already approved by the fda so he didnt lie

Its politics....you just have to sound like you know what you are talking about....people will follow and praise you. No need for fact checking right?

Enough of his failures, lies and cover ups!! Time we had a Real President. One elected Honestly by US not Russia.

Has chloroquine been used to manage coronavirus like illnesses like SARS and MERS? That is the assumption that it can manage COVID-19 symptoms

Trump prefer to make believe that it is the cure for the coronavirus, risking the lives of many, but to just get to protect his re-election chances. Sad

I always watch the faces behind Trump for the truth. Dr Birx nods aggressively if he is truthful, but stares off when he lies.

Uhmm

Look forward to the coming correction fakenews

Yet... it’s been approved and worked successfully on WuhanVirus patients in South Korea. News that you & the rest of the Fake News have suppressed from the American people for nearly 1 month. And, if the President says it will happen; it’s like God’s word to Moses’ ears.

....prior to this, many senators bought stock in the company which, coincidentally, doubled the price of the drug in January! Or I suspect this is what come out at some point during this fucking bonkers year!!

FakeNews doing the Fact Checking 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Not true As usual fake news

fact check: even in danger of death for thousands of Americans CNN still search how they coul hurt Trump instead of looking for ways to help its nation. this media is just a part of a very corrupted and very stupid sytem unable to oppose pandemia unlike China or Russia.

He lied? Shocking!!

chloroquine has been around and approved for many many years. It didn’t need FDA approval.

Lying again & again and again... I am not surprised! DumpTrump!

He lies constantly. His bullshit may con investors but the American public isn’t buying it

The power of Elon.

On the plus side, a year from now it will be called a 'Malarkey Check' realDonaldTrump

He just makes it up as he goes...this man is a menace to national health

and this folks, is our P O T U S? God help us all

Chloroquine is an FDA APPROVED DRUG. Doesn't matter if it's not specifically for coronavirus. Doctors can prescribe this to patients off-label RIGHT NOW. Stop misleading the public.

This is why he’s dangerous. Misinforming people, that could possibly get them killed. Come November, vote this POS out.

In fact, Dr. Fauci stated tonite that he didn’t think there was any reason to assume these drugs would work. Said public shouldn’t buy these meds, as it could cause a shortage for the people who really need the drugs, people with Malaria. Trump is lying. Again.

I remember, on Feb 26th, everything was OK in America, and now after 3 weeks totally in a mess, why ?

Its a HOAX! Witch hunt! FAKE NEWS! 😂😂😂 No new Covid cure.

Hes stupid...its not a secret

Trump needs to step away from the situation & let the Scientists & Doctors take the lead. Trump is totally delusional. He’s making matters worse.

Did you not get the memo? All CNN reporters must immediately start lying from home.

Are they sure a beautiful flu vaccine isn't already out there to treat this?

Stop lying. I saw the press conference. He was very clear that it’s already approved, just not for this exact cure. Deceptive liars CNN.

Who owns those stocks?

Look Trump lies every time he opens his mouth. What part of pathological liar doesn’t the media get ?

Yet another Lie of many from Drumpf 😠

CNN - Chinese News Network.

This is FakeNews The president correctly stated this medication has been approved for treatment of malaria. Docs will now be using using it to treat Covid19 per the Right To Try Act

This is the new anti Trump ⬇️⬇️⬇️

God, anyone who can stop him?

Trumpwronglyclaims oughta be added to Webster’s.

He said the drug itself is FDA approved.

WTF

He's an idiot that's why.
