Part 1 of our documenting and spoofing President Donald J. Trump's bizarre public obsession with, and pushing of, the malarial and Lupus medication Hydroxychloroquine during the covid-19 crisis in 2020 This opens with the audio to Vic Berger's collage video called 'I Am The President Derr- Trump Experiments With Hydroxychloroquine' which can be found here:

His endorsement culminated with his announcement on May 18th, 2020, that he was (allegedly) taking the drug himself despite no clinical evidence that it was effective in treating or preventing symptoms of the covid-19 virus.

For more information on this medication see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxychloroquine

According to Trump his sole reason for taking and endorsing the drug was supposed anecdotal accounts of its efficacy. Other evidence suggested it was because he owned stock in the company that manufactured the drug: There does seem to be some truth to this:

In the latter half of this track we hear Seth Meyers commentary about Trump's interest in The United States Presidency, not as a venture of public service but essentially 'in Trump's own words as related under oath by his lawyer Michael Cohen as an 'infomercial' for himself.

Like his speculation that bleaching one's lungs was a viable treatment for coronavirus to be explored, Trump's pre-occupation with Hydroxychloroquine was another example of Trump's bone-headed response to the crisis and his incessant need to find some kind of quick shortcut to neatly and heroically solve it rather than follow the scientifically prescribed measures insisted upon by all the experts surrounding him.
