    hydrochloroquine and chloroquinephosphate are NOT the same substance. trump said the first showed promise during early anecdotal evidence.AFTER controlled tests are conducted, the drug COULD prove to help. he never said it was a cure. he said it showed promise.good god, cant you people even TRY to cut him some slack?

    You said not one life, and were pretty cocky about it.
    How does it feel to be wrong, after being cocky, on a public forum?

    Setting him up? So they did it for the country? LOL. They've totally wasted 4 years of America's time and money "setting him up". That's just absurd to give them any credit for four years of bullshit and innumerable crimes. You're makin' rational people sick.

    My objective was not to embarrass you, but more to educate you so you stop repeating Trump's nonsense. But if, as you say, what I've done exhausts and embarrasses you, and that fact increases the chances of you thinking twice before echoing Trump's lies.... I'll take it!

    That has far from your "So far in France, this medicine has had no effect in either prolonging or saving lives." Claim.

    I wish you could make up your mind between #1 and #2 I can't do both.
    Perhaps in this time of self imposed quarantine or shelter in place one might reflect on the fact not all care to listen to your advice or be told what to do. You appear to be in the minority as far as the public view as to how your President is handling the situation.

    I don't think you can do either. I'm just explaining to you what the post you quoted meant because.... you asked me to explain it.

    No, I highly doubt that was their intention but it will end up being the result.

    And yet these two did not consult a doctor and decided to self medicate... Trump said nothing about self medicated.. You then claim they followed his "lies" then claim people dont know what they are talking about..

    Hint.. The not knowing is .... You.

    I kid you not a friend of mine (a DEMOCRAT) told me today that he heard on the internet that if you are feeling ill you must take a hair dryer and shove it up your nose and heat your nose, it works, it is proven to work. Ok. If he does that and burns his nostrils and his lungs swell up and he dies, can we blame that on Trump as well? Why not?

    the Darwin theory is out in full force.

    If Trump publicly pushed it as a potential cure for the virus, sure we can blame it on him....

    Has he? I don't follow him on Twitter, obviously...

    Ok. So you didn't read the link I sent.

    I didn't think you would. So I have shown that you are not the person to talk about "factual information"

    Thanks for playing....

    The first post is the thread topic... Did you not know this?
    ie two people self medicating....

    Simple..
    They did not follow anyones advice...

    The only ones talking about a "Cure" are those idiots claiming Trump called it that when he never did.. Seems they read the Guardian /shrug

    That's right, they didn't consult a doctor. They consulted Trump!

    Trump is not a physician. He shouldn't say anything about any medical treatment.

    Look... Americans are used to trusting what their President says. No other President has given medical advice or about... anything that could potentially put people in danger... unless they were absolutely sure they were echoing a professional.

    You know that Trump doesn't know what he's talking about because you have probably followed politics during the last 3 years. Like I have. But most Americans haven't So if they hear a President talking about a "cure"... they don't parse the President's words. They don't analyze what exactly he said. Especially if you're one of his supporters, you just... believe him...

    It's pure irresponsibility for a President to be saying these things at a moment of crisis.... when people are afraid and starting to become desperate for a solution.

    I'm not saying people don't know what they're talking about. I'm saying Trump doesn't know what he's talking about!

    Are you even understanding what you read?

    Rather disingenuous to suggest that Trump told people to treat themselves with aquarium cleaner - but that is how you liberals roll.

    Your comment wasn't about the first post. It was about my post!

    What's wrong with you?

    You claimed I didn't include any facts. I sent you a link where the facts in the discussion you jumped into could be found. And you just refused to read them.

    So then why are you talking about "facts"?

    It's what happens when idiots listen to an idiot President!

    Well for anyone who is not mentally challenged Trump saying a drug has promise to treat the COVID-19 virus is not the same thing as telling people to ingest aquarium cleaner. I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you know this -- so what is the point of your trolling?
