THREAD: I keep reading that people think Trump must stand to profit from the sale of Hydroxychloroquine. This so unlikely it& #39;s close to nonsense. Plus, it ignores his history. He tends not to invest in stocks and companies he can& #39;t control and drive into insolvency.
Trump doesn& #39;t need to profit from it to push Hydroxychloroquine. He& #39;s a believer in the power of positive thinking. In fact, his childhood pastor was Rev. Norman Vincent Peale.
More, he will take up any quick-fix, snake oil if it contradicts the deliberate judgement of educated experts. He hates expertise as much as he loves sex and money.
Third, he wants everyone to believe there is a quick-fix, easy way out of what is otherwise a dismal forecast for both the United States and Trump& #39;s own electoral prospects.
This is a perfect example of Trump& #39;s MO: The drug does everything he wants it to do except actually cure people of COVID19.
Here is more on how Trump deals with any sort of challenge: Bluster and believe! https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/10/donald-trump-2016-norman-vincent-peale-213220">https://www.politico.com/magazine/...
