Nobody should have been surprised. “L’Affaire Hydroxy,” which raged into Tuesday, is merely the latest instance in a lifelong pattern of behavior for Trump—and landed as a tidy distillation of a handful of his most foundational traits.
He has a knack for creating confusion and distraction when he needs to alter news cycles and scramble storylines. And he has a showman’s instinct for grabbing attention. But what his surprising announcement reveals most clearly is his steadfast, decades-long aversion to expertise. Trump’s deep-seated outsider mindset engendered a willful disregard for advice that often got him into trouble—financial, reputational and otherwise.
“It’s like when he used the Sharpie on that hurricane map,” said former Trump Organization executive vice president Barbara Res, referring to the episode last year in which Trump cartoonishly used a marker to alter a map of the path of a storm and then fought about it for a week rather than admit the smallest of mistakes.
“Allll about the base,” Republican strategist and Trump critic Rick Wilson told me in a text on Tuesday.I’m taking hydroxy,’” former Trump White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci explained. “‘They’re telling you it doesn’t work, but“It would take an hour and a half to learn everything there is to learn about missiles,” Trumpin 1984, telling a reporter he wanted to negotiate with the Soviet Union about the threat of nuclear war. “I think I know most of it anyway.
Exactly. A lifelong pattern. So why do we continue discussing it? Every time he does something shocking we jump on the story and run it into the ground. Ignore him like a screaming child at Walmart. THAT is how you take away his power.
This will be our secret. positive upbeat headlines anything Biden, negative ,pessimistic writings on trump, even if he blows his nose make it look bad.mediaforbiden
Seriously? Does anyone with at least 4 operating brain cells believe he's really taking it?
Listen to these clowns, who likely teamed with Liberal Drs to attack Hydroxy..creating the FDA scare on a 60yo SAFE drug.
HYDROXYGATE!
The USA has almost gotten used to the lies of the president. But now it is a matter of life and death. Trump's reference to an antimalarial drug as an anti-corona drug has already cost human life.
A pattern of quick reaction to challenging situations from years in the cutthroat corp business world. 65 years of 'Hydroxy' reliability and thousands of positive covid treatments now, show a calculated very low risk decision by RealDonaldTrump
someone saw the first lady?
Is he taking a pill? What dosage, how many times daily and what should I think about the new study which shows it’s dangerous? Can I see your prescribing doctor for a consult, Mr. Trump?
The so-called experts are mostly politicized and have lost their credibility.That is how Trump wins over them.
realDonaldTrump is too arrogant to listen to anyone who knows more than he does.
I'll never understand why anyone trusts a word that comes out of that guys mouth. He is such an obvious con man and bullshitter.
It's too bad that Trump & co. are so incompetent, because now the imperative is to be rid of that incompetence. The real problem, however, is a minority racist electorate. Racism gave these buffoons their opportunity to act out their greedy, pathological wet dreams..
Should we believe to Trump.. Lol.... every single word that he say... is a lie.
Hitler took a pill.
Demi-god mentality, and sadly he really believes this!
He wins every time.
why? trump is a FAKE PRESIDENT. trump is Psycho man. trump is a Crazy man. trump is a self-praising man. trump is a GMO MIXED with Hilter's DNA!!! SO, Trump be FIRED OR TAKEN INTO asylum OR MAD-HOUSE RIGHT NOW!
It's a gamble. If the drug turns out to be effective in some way he can say, 'see, listen to me, not the experts.' If it doesn't work, he will create some distraction. Win, win for him.
You can try and spin his decisions into a positive win, but we all know, he’s a corrupt Lying narcissistic thief. You’re pulling a 2016 again... Falling for his con artist LIES... you deserve and Unfollow...
He worked for days to learn to say hydrocholroquine that he can't give up on it now.
Experts got us here, remember that.
C’mon man!
Specially when he comes up with his alternative facts 😒😅
He's lying there is no way he's taking it. Don't believe the hype.
I love NY 😂
