This track is part 2 of our treatment of President Donald J. Trump's irrational obsession with the malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine and documenting its cultural fallout during the covid-19 crisis in The United States during the spring of 2020.
The track starts with the song 'Concoctor' by Don Caron. NCN modded this song a bit by extending the intro out about 20 seconds or so with a Trump sample of him talking about Azithromycin which the following song mentions several times. We utilized the karaoke version of the original song 'The Coconut Song' by Harry Nilsson, which 'Concoctor' is a parody of. 'The Coconut Song' was a well-known, quirky 'one-hit wonder' song (otherwise known as 'Put de lime in de coconut' song) from the 1970's.
After this we hear humorous commentary from late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel who speculates on Trump's real motivation for taking the drug. His theory, while humorous, may actually contain more than a grain of truth, which why it is so funny... and kind of terrifying. Kimmel, like Meyers in Part 1 or this piece, breaks down the listed side effects of Hydroxychloroquine a lot of which have to do with psychosis.
After Meyers presents more relevant and related clips, Kimmel presents a clip where we hear a provocative jab at Trump's obesity that one of Trump's political enemies, Nancy Pelosi, makes publicly in regards to Trump taking Hydroxychloroquine, we hear the audio of a short video by collage artist Vic Berger called 'Trump throws TANTRUM, makes RACIST remark, gets CHOKESLAMMED by simple questions'. The sample 'Go home to Mommy!' is from a much earlier dated incident of Trump yelling that phrase to a protester at one of his rallies as the protester was being led away.
Vic Berger's video is here:

In the incident presented, Trump angrily responds to a challenging question made by a reporter who happens to be Asian, "Why don't you ask that question to CHINA?" shortly thereafter storming out of the press conference abruptly.
At first, in his answer to the reporter's question, Trump seems to begin responding by giving a thoughtfully wistful answer. But suddenly, halfway through, his brain just seems to decide that he can't pull off thoughtful wistfulness convincingly and so he just goes for his reliable old standby PSYCHOTIC RAGE.
The incident took place not long after Trump announced his starting to take Hydroxychloroquine, a medication, which we hear in this piece, has 'sudden mood changes' in its side effects profile.
Coincidence?
