Why would a narcissist take a controversial drug?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Gotta be more than $$.

You have the power to protect yourself without risk.

Is it just to save face? Taking something to the nth degree, just to show you weren't crazy to push it at the outset?

1. Do you think he actually took the drug?

Since Trump lies about everything, who knows what the reality is?

Frankly, I listen to doctors and scientists.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

4. Need to look up..but thought a doctor confirmed he did. Course

They could be lying.

[malaise]

6. A doctor also lied about his weight, height and general health

Another one made up his bone spur draft dodging excuse

9. True. All I could find was McEnamy claiming

He absolutely took it. And this from his doctor ( which didn't really say it was administered)

The White House on Monday issued a statement by Sean Conley, Trump’s doctor, which read: “After numerous discussions he and I had regarding the evidence for and against the use of hydroxychloroquine, we concluded the potential benefit from treatment outweighed the relevant risks.”

8. Quite possible the doctors gave him a placebo

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. That would be funny. Still think it'd be weird for

A narcissist who shuns drugs and booze who supposedly didn't even test positive to take this risk.

7. No. He's lying.

10. I think he's taking plasma. Note the transfusion bruise on his hand.

Convalescent plasma might also be considered for family members or health care workers who have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 to potentially prevent them from getting COVID-19.

13. Good point! Everyone on Twitter last night was opining

about his hand.

Maybe that's it...he is deathly afraid of catching covid. Enough to think hydroxy chloroquine might be preventive?

[FarPoint]

14. I said that back in early April....

As an infusion nurse.... knowing that he, tRump is only about him...sure he is! Additionally, he is a paranoid coward. I bet his family is also infusing...Pence...well, maybe not...

[Rebl2]

12. Doubtful

He lies and so do his doctors

[bullimiami]

2. either extreme stupidity+arrogance or he actually didnt take it.

or didnt take enough to matter.
after all it is prescribed all the time at known dosages with known side-effects.

[Newest Reality]

3. Ah,

We have millions of doses in our stockpiles. What a waste, or is there some grift in there?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. So it's about proving he was right and bragging about his business

acumen of showing he can get something for free?

15. Jarvanka probably bought all

that shit and are waiting for the pay off that will never come due to the fact that it is not a treatment for this virus.
