CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “I’m taking it — hydroxychloroquine…  A couple of weeks ago, I started taking it.”

[Reporter: “Why, sir?”]

“Because I think it’s good. I’ve heard a lot of good stories. And if it’s not good, I’ll tell you right — you know, I’m not going to get hurt by it. It’s been around for 40 years for malaria, for lupus, for other things. I take it. Frontline workers take it. A lot of doctors take it.”

-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump in a Roundtable with Restaurant Executives and Industry Leaders,” whitehouse.gov, May 18, 2020
