Trump is still insisting on noisily promoting a drug that’s untested for use against the virus.

Ooh ooh ooh I know the answer to that one. Sometimes the powerful drugs kill things you DO want living within your body and you wind up dead.

Trump on why he's giving medical advice even though he's not a doctor: "What really do we have to lose? … we don't have time to go and say, 'gee, let's take a couple of years and test it out' … it doesn't kill people."

Trump knows better than the people who do this full-time after getting the appropriate education.
