So I bring the family together to watch TEK's link above since I think it's massively important and my wife records it to share it with her friends on Chinese social media. Then when we're done, she checks the official government reports, nothing, and changes her mind and doesn't want to post it. She says she doesn't want to get in trouble.

I dunno what to say.

I watched that press conference personally. Every time he spoke of it, which was at least a dozen times, every phrase out of Trump's mouth regarding the medication was some variation of "maybe," "we hope," "we're still waiting for the evidence," "I have a good feeling but who knows until the facts come in" .

And Dr. Fauci was right there saying the same d@mn things as well "It shows promise" "I'd like to see the results before we reach a conclusion"

Quote

Per POLITICO: Career scientists have been skeptical of the effort, noting the lack of data on the drug’s efficacy for coronavirus care and worried that it would siphon medication away from patients who need it for other conditions, calling instead for the agency to pursue its usual clinical trials.

Who are these "career scientists"?  Now you libs should be beginning to see why the far left media is the enemy of all of us.

I saw it live too.  I generally hate listening to him speak and am often ashamed he's the best leader we could come up with.  That aside, I do appreciate most of what he's done and is trying to do for the country.  

In this case, the reporter jumped down his throat, accusing him of giving the public false hope.  I thought Trump responded very well under the circumstances.  This little war with the press is nothing new but it's still pretty crazy watching it play out.  

I haven't watched all of yesterday's briefing yet.  But I did catch the CNN talking heads commending their reporter for standing up to Trump regarding his comments about being appreciated.  The whole thing is pathetic.

Such full blown Trump Derangement Syndrome will never be seen in a more concentrated form. The person who wrote that is clearly rooting for the drug to fail. If hundreds of thousands of people have their lives saved by this drug cocktail, it would break this poor author's heart. Death, however, will put a smile on his face.

Oh my God, the pent up joy to eviscerate Trump should this drug cocktail not work is utterly palpable. Such euphoria ready to be unleashed if people take this medicine and it doesn't help them and they die. On the other hand, if the follow up story were something like "everyone who took it got cured" the author would be sitting on a sofa, staring into a corner, babbling uncontrollably to himself, totally frozen and unable to type.

It's like the Grinch writing about the evils of Christmas.

University of Minnesota is running a chloroquine trial....but the feds aren't funding it.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/28/health/coronavirus-hydroxychloroquine-trial/index.html

And within that link, it's telling that the lab Fauci runs....isn't studying chloroquine as a potential treatment.

 

With regard to the sh!tshow that is the daily Presidential briefings....Trump said on Thursday in an interview with Hannity:

"I have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they're going to need," the president said. "I don't believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. You know, you go to major hospitals, sometimes they have two ventilators. Now all of a sudden they're saying can we order 30,000 ventilators."

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-hannity-coronavirus-ventilators-new-york-30000/

He was asked about it at the briefing yesterday:

Yamiche Alcindor: (45:35)
Thank you, Mr. President. I have two questions. The first is you’ve said repeatedly that you think that some of the equipment that governors are requesting they don’t actually need. You said New York might not need 30,000-

Donald Trump: (45:46)
I didn’t say that.

Yamiche Alcindor: (45:47)
You said it on Sean Hannity’s Fox News. You said that you might-

https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/donald-trump-coronavirus-task-force-briefing-transcript-march-29-trump-extends-task-force-guidelines-to-april-30

 

And on Friday, he stated he wanted Governors to be appreciative of him:

Donald Trump: (26:32)
All I want them to do, very simple, I want them to be appreciative. I don’t want them to say things that aren’t true. I want them to be appreciative. We’ve done a great job, and I’m not talking about me. I’m talking about Mike Pence, the Task Force, I’m talking about FEMA, the Army Corps of Engineers. There’s no country in the world could have done what the Army Corps of Engineers has done and is doing. Now they’re going in and building literal… They’re going into hotels and renovating hotels. That should be for governors to do. That should be for states to do.

Donald Trump: (27:04)
We have the Army Corps of Engineers so teed up and so stocked up and they’re really psyched and they’re incredible, and there’s no games with these people. They’re in there screaming, “Get it done, get it done.” There’s not sitting around taking it easy. These are workers. These are incredible people. So I think the Army Corps of Engineers… When somebody for political reasons wants to blame, I view that as blaming these incredible people. Nobody’s ever seen it. I don’t know if you’ve been to the Javits Center.

Speaker 5: (27:32)
Yes.

Donald Trump: (27:32)
Now, I’ve seen it. I would love to go there, but with all that we’re doing, we will be tomorrow at the hospital. We have this incredible hospital boat. It was supposed to be ready in three and a half weeks, because it’s under maintenance, a big maintenance contract. We were able to get it done quickly. We were able to stock it up to the top and it’s leaving tomorrow at 2:00. It’s leaving Virginia. It’ll be in New York on Monday, weeks ahead of schedule. I think things, even the media, I think the media and governors should appreciate it.

Donald Trump: (28:05)
And I have to say, the media has been pretty good and the governors have been really good, except for a couple. And with them, it’s just political. “How’s Trump doing?” “Oh, well, I don’t know.” Because we have done a job the likes of which nobody’s seen.

Speaker 5: (28:20)
So, it’s the words they’re saying that you’re concerned about? It’s not that they’re-

Donald Trump: (28:22)
I think they should be appreciative. Because you know what? When they’re not appreciative to me, they’re not appreciative to the Army Corps, they’re not appreciative to FEMA, it’s not right. These people are incredible. They’re working 24 hours a day. I mean, Mike Pence, I don’t think he sleeps anymore. These are people that should be appreciated. He calls all the governors. I tell him… I mean, I’m a different type of person. I say, “Mike, don’t call the Governor of Washington. You’re wasting your time with him. Don’t call the woman in Michigan.” It doesn’t make any difference what happens-
