Maybe it’s because he is promoting a drug without any credentials to do so despite the objections of those with actual medical credentials. Maybe it is because the FDA has stated don’t take it in an outpatient setting. Maybe it’s because the doctor he claimed gave it to him wrote a memorandum stating “we concluded” the risks outweigh any benefit multiple times. That’s doctor speak, “STFU with your stupid BS.” A provider shouldn’t write a prescription when the risk outweighs the benefits and there is a complete lack of evidence of efficacy just because a patient asks. And that memo doesn’t state he prescribed the hydroxychloroaquine so I’m not sure if Trump is taking it or this is just another one of his lies.
So I guess I have to concede your point; yeah, Trump. Because no other president has been this dishonest and stupid to push a drug that both he and his doctor concluded isn’t f’n appropriate and the FDA publicly and specifically said don’t do it.

You may want to re-read the memo from the WH physician. He states the "the potential benefits outweighed the relative risks."
