Donald Trump revealed Monday he is taking hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug he has pushed for weeks as a treatment for coronavirus -- even though he has tested negative and federal health agencies have warned of serious negative side effects

"I take it," he told reporters. "All I can tell you is, so far, I feel okay."

The president said he has taken only an initial dose. "It seems to have an impact," he said. "Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. ... You're not going to get sick and die."

Mr Trump said he has taken the drug for "about a week and a half now," adding: "I take a pill everyday" and has had "zero symptoms." ✕

The president said he is taking the drug because "I've gotten a lot of calls" from medical professionals praising it. His revelation comes several weeks after the New York Times reported the Trump family has a financial tie to the parent company of the firm that makes hydroxychloroquine.

I'm hitting the tonic water (quinine) to go with my zinc. I'm bulletproof :p

Real quinine water, especially unsweetened, is kinda nasty. You will need something to smooth it out.

I don't do gin - I'm toughing it out. The water does have a bit of a sour taste.

Should be a bitter taste which might be softened by sugar. Or lime juice for bitter lime or lemon juice for bitter lemon
