“I happen to be taking. I’m taking it. Hydroxychloroquine. Right now, yeah. Couple of weeks ago, started taking it. Cause I think it’s good, I’ve heard a lot of good stories. And if it’s not good, I’m not going to get hurt by it. … I hope to not be able to take it soon. … Hey, people said ‘oh maybe he owns the company. I don’t own the company. I want the people of this nation to feel good. I don’t want them being sick.”

We still have questions regarding his surprise “physical” in November!

Even FOX News is stunned.

Said Neil Cavuto: “If you are in a risky population here, and you are taking this as a preventative treatment … it will kill you. I cannot stress enough. This will kill you.”
