Americans Stunned by Creepiest Presidential Line Ever Uttered: Try It if You Like It

By

It struck me in that moment, taking me back: “What the fuck he is trying to say, here?”

You know exactly of which I speak. “But hydroxychloroquine, try it. If you’d like.” Said in a near whisper, almost pleading. It made me wonder, does this man have some sort of angle or alternative motive? We cannot know. All we can know is that it likely was one of the single strangest moments in presidential press briefing history. Some people are not letting it fade away quite so quickly, and are giving it more attention – as is warranted:

I am, too.

I went through a list of side effects listed for the medication yesterday, and some of them go well beyond an upset stomach. Hydroxychloroquine (isn’t it weird how we’ve all learned to spell it?), has serious side effects concerning the heart and its regular rhythm.

Others have been weirded out, too:

Noel seems to go be going a little too far here – even if there is some truth to it (I do not support his unproven assertion), but it does catch on the creepy tone used.

This below is a very typical summation of the above. If anything, it is understated in some ways:

This is another legitimate question, because his inability to handle this crisis is on full display now, and it is on them. They had the ability to at least take evidence and hear what all went on with Ukraine and decided to turtle up McConnell’s behind. I would like to hear their inner voices now:

A drug that is in phase studies now, and yet he is pushing it upon the people of this nation in one of the creepiest ways he could. He had one of the world’s leading experts standing behind him to talk about the efficacy of the drug and yet went out on his own to state that he might start taking it – even though he’s supposedly tested negative.

This begs for an explanation. I have a few in my head, not fit yet for full speculation in public, but something isn’t normal here:

****

Peace y’all
