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.

Not if hydroxochloroquine is what Trump says it is. Cheap cure and preventive. No need for vaccine.

It looks to me like Trump actually stands to lose a great deal of money or value related to his Hotels and other properties that are not able to do business as usual due to the lock downs.
I am not aware of Trump investments that stand to profit from the virus/vaccine debacle.
Please share your information that is indicative of Trump profiting personally.

OK ... where's the beef ?
Trump was a billionaire before becoming Pres. and I'm sure he's invested in many things. (Diversified portfolio ?)

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

I'd like to think so, but none of these ppl is showing the slightest concern for what happens to themselves as a result of this genocide.

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