Well normally I would say that he must be taking it on advice from his doctor. But knowing this is Trump it wouldn't surprise me if he just made the whole thing up.

This letter from his doctor is very carefully worded, and doesn’t actually state that Trump is taking the medicine.
And Trump said

the White House physician "didn't recommend" the treatment but offered it to him

Remember, the Food and Drug Administration has cautioned against the use of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for COVID-19 treatment outside of hospitals or clinical trials due to the risk of heart rhythm problems - they said "Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine have not been shown to be safe and effective for treating or preventing COVID-19,"

This proposal would be entertaining if it wasn’t so deadly.

It’s helpful if you quote a post if directly referring to it, however you can’t possibly mean my last post. It’s very much Friday afternoon on that one.
Your selective quoting at least let the author of the post know who you were directing your response at.
