NOTE: When a president takes an unapproved drug contraindicated for what he's taking it for—an illness he doesn't have—and the drug has side effects, including death, for those with co-morbidities, it's *right* that a person third in line to the presidency call it a NatSec issue.
Pelosi was right to list the co-morbidities Trump has that make him taking hydroxychloroquine a NatSec issue—apart from the fact it's not FDA approved for use in treatment of COVID-19 and he doesn't *have* COVID-19. So yes—noting he's "morbidly obese" (a medical term) is correct.
And the person *second* in line for the presidency is now in a COVID-19 self-quarantine. So the far right should be *impressed* at Pelosi expressing concern about Trump's health—and offering *sound advice* on that score—when their conspiracy theorists would've expected otherwise.
