His fixation on his quack remedy endures.
He's a well known liar and fool.
Joe Scarborough says it's baloney and Trump's doc wouldn't give him a prescription.
Gupta flipped out and expressed in outrage the hope it's not true.
Fox News has a doc with a different take.
But this is an admission the president and his supporters are way jumping the gun.
Siegel [on Tucker Carlson's show] said he was looking at the issue "medically" not politically.
"Does it work in humans? We've seen some studies from Italy, from France and from China that show it might work early in the course of it [coronavirus]," Siegel said.
"And there's a big study in Spain right now and a huge study from the NIH looking at this. Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit has given it to three thousand health care workers, Tucker, to see if it prevents them from getting COVID-19."
Pelosi says 'morbidly obese' Trump taking hydroxychloroquine 'not a good idea'
"I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his, shall we say, weight group, morbidly obese, they say," Pelosi said during an appearance on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360."
"So, I think that it's not a good idea," she said.

Trump has repeatedly touted the drug as a potential coronavirus cure or preventative measure over the past two months, despite the lack of evidence that it's effective against the disease.
"Here’s my evidence: I get a lot of positive calls about it," Trump said on Monday. "So far, I seem to be OK."
Neil Cavuto reacts to Trump taking hydroxychloroquine: 'A leap that should not be taken casually'
Cavuto, shocked by the president's comments, went through numerous studies involving the drug and their results, including a study of VA patients that the president himself brought up.
"The VA study, to which the president alluded, wasn't a loaded political one. It was a test on patients there and those who took it in a vulnerable population, including those with respiratory or other conditions. They died," Cavuto said.
"I want to stress again. They died."
The nationwide study in veterans hospitals, which was released last month, was not a rigorous experiment. But with 368 patients, it was the largest look so far at the effects of hydroxychloroquine taken with or without the antibiotic azithromycin for COVID-19.
"If you are in a risky population here and you are taking this as a preventative treatment to ward off the virus, or in a worst case scenario, you are dealing with the virus and you are in this vulnerable population it will kill you," Cavuto warned.
"I cannot stress enough. This will kill you."
