But he is now modeling behavior so hazardous to people’s health, his forehead should carry the same warning as a pack of cigarettes.
This covidiot stunned the world on Monday when he said he’s taking hydroxychloroquine to fight Covid-19. This, despite his own FDA warning that taking this drug for that purpose could kill you.
A study of 96,000 hospitalized coronavirus patients on six continents found that those who received an antimalarial drug promoted by President Trump as a ‘game changer’ in the fight against the virus had a significantly higher risk of death compared with those who did not.
People treated with hydroxychloroquine, or the closely related drug chloroquine, were also more likely to develop a type of irregular heart rhythm, or arrhythmia, that can lead to sudden cardiac death, it concluded.

Except that, Trump’s greed and mendacity are so unbound, commentators began speculating immediately that he blurted this out not to share his health regime, but to execute a pump-and-dump scheme.
He couldn’t care less that thousands might buy into his hype and die. Yes, he really is that venal and amoral. Then again, those buying this hype hook, line, and sinker are probably the same suckers who bought his hype about repealing Obamacare. Remember, he convinced them that their affordable healthcare was part of a socialist conspiracy to destroy America, cooked up by a black man from Africa, who pulled off the greatest fraud in history by becoming president of the United States. But I digress …
He stunned the world again on Thursday when he betrayed a mind so singed by a bonfire of vanities, he showed that he thinks it’s more manly to risk death than to wear a mask:
Michigan’s attorney general slammed President Donald Trump for ‘conveying the worst possible message’ by refusing to wear a mask in front of cameras during his visit Thursday to a Ford manufacturing plant.
‘I am ashamed to have him be President of the United States of America,’ Dana Nessel, a Democrat, told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on ‘The Situation Room’ Thursday.

Vote.
Because the real story here is not that Trump is coaxing people to take a drug that could kill them. It’s that not a single member of his Republican Party is condemning him for doing so. Yet every one of those hypocritical SOBs routinely ridicule members of the Chinese Communist Party for the blind faith they put in President Xi.
But it’s clear that the Republicans have lost their way. So when you vote in November, don’t just vote Trump out. For America’s sake, vote them all out!
