If trump wants to take this drug, so be it. If he wants to take 10 of these a day, then respect that decision. Please respect the president’s choice.....he has “Perfect” understanding of everything!

The Food and Drug Administration warned health professionals last month that the drug should not be used outside of hospital or research settings, due to sometimes fatal side effects.
