Trump: Ignorant drug advice is par for the course

Recently our president recommended the use of the hydroxychloroquine drug for COVID-19 patients. He has no medical training, is not a doctor or a scientist. He has people on his task force for that.

The president wants to distract from the fact that he did not act sooner with the pandemic As usual, he wants a simple answer and to feed his ego.

The president should only discuss subjects he knows about. Maybe golf?
