“I think people should [take hydroxychloroquine],” Trump told reporters at a White House press briefing on Saturday. “If it were me, in fact, I might do it anyway. I may take it … I have to ask my doctors about that. But I may take it.”

He does not speak politically correct. He speaks like it was spoken in his generation.
Don’t talk behind backs but tell it like I see it.

Believe me if I got deathly sick, I’d be asking about hydroxchloroquine. He is in his seventies and if he wants to take it, that is his business.

Blow it up all you want.
 
I’ve said it before, and I will say it again. Trump is doing the best he can.

Unfortunately, in the job he holds, the best he can is no where close to what is needed for the good of America and the World.

I’m sorry. He speaks like a fool. Whether he is actually a fool is something each person has to decide for himself.

He is not a fool. He speak politically incorrect which is a part of his generation.
“If it were me, in fact, I might do it anyway. I may take it … I have to ask my doctors about that. But I may take it.”

He is 73 years old and if he want to take it, why should doctors have the right to refuse him. If he is on a ventilator his changes are not good. Ninety per cent of people on ventilators die so why it may make sense to help people, it has not been shown to be that effective.

Which bring me to another thought, if your father is dying why do you not have the right to visit if you are in your 40’s.

The opinion piece you based this thread on said “But he obviously was not urging people to apply half-baked theories” and yet, he is a direct quote of Trump urging people to apply a half-baked theory. The premise of the opinion piece is incorrect.

I did not post it. I read the headline which is Times Inflates Trump;s Foolishness and I think most news sources inflate it.

Again why should the aged be refused a drug that may/may not help them. It is their choice as their chances are slim.

We make all this fuss about ventilators when 90 per cent die on them.

Why can’t younger people visit their elderly parents who are dying?

Just so much hype.

He speaks foolishly because that is the character his base wants to hear.

His base appreciates his “plain talk”, and his bombastic tweets as they see it, “fighting back”.

He does this on purpose.

No he speaks politically incorrect. Why should the elderly be denied a medication. Why can’t healthy relatives visit a dying love one? If it is your father, mother, it is your call.
 
His generation is not noted for thousands of documented lies to the American people.
In his generation they revered the story of Washington and the Cherry Tree. " I cannot tell a lie."

It’s not due to his age. Do Carter, the Bushs’, or Obama speak in the same way?

I know many older adults who speak with measure and intelligence.

Trump appeals to a certain facet of his base.
 
And they never deal with the issue and let parents die alone in their room. They do not let the elder have a chance by taking or drug that may help/hurt them.

They have a feel good moment when they see the dying person on a ventilator.

And their question is always, do we have enough ventilators?

My parents didn’t speak that way.

We learned to always be moderate in our speech. My mother specifically taught me to avoid saying hurtful things, because even though you can apologize, the hurt could still linger.

When my mother stopped being careful with her words we learned she had dementia. She was starting to lose her self censoring abilities.

My mother-in-law would always look at me and said. “I am going to tell this to your face. I am not going to talk behind your back.” I always respected her for that.

Nearly everybody agrees that Trump speaks foolishly. What he does, on the other hand, was leading the nation into unprecedented prosperity.

There is an aversion to the selling of snake-oil; we would like people to use their money and their opportunity with cures that are safe and effective, and not subject them to false hopes that squander money and opportunity. Some object to regulations - especially would be snake-oil dealers.
