Is He Taking Hydroxychloroquine?

Given his tendency to lie, is it beyond reason to think that he would say yes while not doing it?

I mean he went on record supporting it and the research is not going so wellThe FDA is even recommending against using it.
"We have reviewed case reports in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database, the published medical literature, and the American Association of Poison Control Centers National Poison Data System concerning serious heart-related adverse events and death in patients with COVID-19 receiving hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, either alone or combined with azithromycin or other QT prolonging medicines.  These adverse events were reported from the hospital and outpatient settings for treating or preventing COVID-19, and included QT interval prolongation, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, and in some cases death. " FDA
Now one must remember that Trump is a self centered chicken...  Does it seem that he would be willing to use his unhealthy self a guinea pig?  Especially when he does not have COVID.
"Trump’s doctor released a letter that said only that the two men had discussed the matter and had “concluded the potential benefit from treatment outweighed the relative risks,” without saying whether he has prescribed it to the president." 
On the upside maybe more Trump True Believers will take their medical advice from him and not Neal Cavuto.  It is so unfortunate that we even have to consider that our President may have just lied bold faced, and by doing so he may have put some of his most ardent cult members at risk. :-(  Well those who did not try to drink bleach... :-)

Let's hope that this time he told the truth.  At least that way he has some blood in the game.

I believe Trump is lying about taking hydroxychloroquine

I find it really hard to believe that the respected physicians custom forces on the president would prescribe the drug to Trump. It's well known side effects would seem to target Trump's preexisting health problems, and there is no convincing evidence that it would do what Trump wants it to do. I am sure my doctor would laugh me out her office if I asked for that drug.
