Trump is advocating to take a medication that could kill you while he lies about himself taking it.
Most of us have relatives that are conservatives...and a few of them may actually take 45's advice. We may have fond memories of them when we were younger and before they got "program'ed". But lets face it...
And he's doing this for one reason only, his base with seniors is evaporating. So he's flailing and throwing something out there in the hopes to placate them....but doesn't realize he's going to end up killing them....but its not like he cares, he just hopes enough of them survive to re-elect him...in his view, if they die, then they die.

(6,408 posts)Once they know the gig is up...they aren't content in taking themselves out. They want to take their followers out as well. Adolf Hitler blamed his people who followed him loyally for his failure. Trump is going to do the same. His sons, Jared & Ivanka should be fucking scared...if he goes down, they go with him.
But they can't see it as they are too enveloped with their own power grabs....meanwhile, they are in denial of the fact that their entire empire is crumbing. The Trump name is now toxic around the world and here in the US...its becoming approved by people who could never afford his properties.
To use an analogy, his base stays at the Orleans and Palace Station in Las Vegas...but his property is on the Strip and what his base pays for a week in a room, is one night on his hotel. And he's pissing off everyone who could afford his hotel.

(53,925 posts)It boils down to he' s drug pusher trying to recoup his investment and make a profit. I highly doubt he's taking it. He said he's been taking it for two weeks. If it was so great he would've been taking it weeks ago when he first started hyping it.
It's about money. And of course he so stupid he believed the apocryphal stories that he's heard of it curing people. He even had the nerve to say many front line medical workers are taking it. Reporters really have to get on the ball, someone should've asked him what doctors and nurses are taking it?
Such supreme bullshit.
