I believe he's taking it. Even though I cannot stand the liar, I do think he is probably taking a low dose as a preventative. He even mentioned that he takes the zinc with it so it sounds right. He's had a very close call with people close to him getting it so he's scared. He's even making everyone wear masks. He's that scared. (But he won't wear a mask.) But I do think he's taking it and for prevention--no one knows if that works though.

No, you dodged the question. You claim the president is "dumb" for following his doctor's prescription....I was just wanting to know that you were making that your professional medical opinion and you then moved the goalposts talking about PPE instead.

So now you are saying that doctors who take it as a preventative measure and who prescribe it as a preventative measure are dumb for doing so, and their patients are dumb to follow their doctor's advice rather than yours.

It's good to know that is your official medical opinion.

You think Trump's doctor prescribed it to Trump on his own volition, or do you think Trump asked for this prescription? I think Trump specifically asked for this prescription, but that assumes that:

1) He actually did ask for this prescription
2) A doctor actually prescribed it
3) Trump is actually taking it

I'm skeptical of all three and have absolutely no reason to believe anything a pathological liar says.

From the article :
'MSNBC's Joe Scarborough speculated that President Trump is lying"

That speculation based on Trump washing his hands before eating during the one time he ate with him.

There's no reason to believe that the doctor was forced to prescribe anything given that doctors all across the world are doing the same along with taking it themselves for the very same reason.

I get that your medical background might be more impressive than all of those doctors, so I'll consider your opinion on the matter for what it's worth.

That said, despite your no doubt impressive medical background, I don't think there is reason to believe that the president is taking prescription drugs without a prescription for them, nor that his doctors are lying about it. That's a bit too.....well Rachel Maddow/Alex Jones type conspiracy theory BS for me.

Trump's doctor also said he weighted 239. Make of that what you will. That aside, I have no idea whether he's taking it or not and couldn't care less.

It's funny how people can bash people for not taking the virus seriously enough and then turn around and try to belittle someone who is taking precautions against it as being scared.

He's taking it because he made wearing a mask a political statement. Now he and his family have to take the risk.
