Trump on hydroxychloroquine: "What do I know, I& #39;m not a doctor...but I have common sense...as you know, they& #39;ve approved it...they gave it a rapid approval."

It has not been FDA-"approved" for the coronavirus. The FDA gave it a limited emergency use authorization.

Some news reports on the limited emergency use authorization used the phrase "FDA approves"; the FDA did allow this emergency use. But "approval" means a specific thing in the medical world, and the FDA has emphasized that no drug has been approved for the coronavirus.
