Trump Has ‘Financial Interest’ in Hydroxychloroquine Manufacturer

[Tamorlane]

wow...

President Donald Trump has a “small financial interest” in the maker of an anti-malarial drug that he has been touting as a “game changer” in treating coronavirus, according to The New York Times. Over the past two weeks, Trump and his Fox News allies have aggressively promoted hydroxychloroquine as a potential cure, despite top infectious-disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci and others urging caution and noting that there was not enough evidence of the drug’s efficacy.

The Times reports the president’s family trusts all have investments in a mutual fund whose largest holding is Sanofi, the manufacturer of Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine. Associates of the president, including Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, have also run funds that hold investments in the pharmaceutical firm.

and?

People that have vast arrays of investments have investments in a company that makes a drug that has existed for decades?

k den

This is low even for your dumb ass, not even posting a source.

As Sillie would say, SAD!

[rampagefc77]

wow...

So trumps family is invested in a mutual fund that happens to have large drug manufacturers in it...

That’s like saying I have special interest in any particular company in the S+P 500 simply because I hold it in my portfolio...

The studies and use of the drug didn’t even originate in the US, it was overseas. So trump is conspiring with foreign governments to use the drug that happens to be included within a larger mutual fund and probably makes up less than 1% of his overall portfolio?

Your tin hat is fitting a little too tight.

[puzzycrookz]

Lol 12 degrees of separation and a mutual fund with other holdings somehow overshadows its ability to save lives. Trump is right about Fake news being the enemy of the people.

Tammy probably got this from Maddow I know she was screaming about "follow the money" regarding the Drug and that Trump had to have a connection.

All we did in this thread is find the lefts next misinformation campaign.

[BFast55]

I own stock in several drug and medical companies. I guess I have financial interest in it too.

Tammy call this drug "unproven" just now in another thread. I wonder if he would refuse it, if offered by a doctor to treat his corona?

[Tamorlane]

Trump has a 'small personal financial interest' in hydroxycholorquine drugmaker. Allies have bigger stakes.

I'll bet Trump has holdings in a company that manufactures zinc supplements as well if we look hard enough. Time for peach mints.

[kcadrenalin]

You really got him this time OP

Drumph is finished

[ohiostate124]

Ok? Does this mean we shouldn’t use it even if it works? Go ahead Libs. Don’t use it to own Trump.

[ScottTil]

owns a mutual fund means he has an interest in the hundreds of companies that are in it?

[JoshSP1985]

Is this is the next iteration of the suicide to prevent global warming initiative?

[Tamorlane]

And if you were unfoundedly reporting that one of them was a miracle cure, it would be a conflict of interest.

But I know ethics and integrity are foreign to people like you.

It is unproven for treating Covid 19. You should learn about how drugs and vaccines are tested before being made readily available to the public.

but hey Trump makes money off of peddling it.

For anyone wondering why he was so quick to jump on the bandwagon, its because he figured he could kill two birds with one stone (end the virus, make money).

[JoshSP1985]

Actually yes not that it matters at all or should be an argument for any basis of anything

No I didn't, but it is unproven for treating Covid 19. You should learn about how drugs and vaccines are tested before being made readily to the public.

Trump NEVER said it was a miracle cure. He said it showed some promise in early trials and anecdotes.

He said it WOULD BE a miracle cure.

Leftist misinformation going strong.

LOL clearly you didn't read the NYT source. And second source cites the NYT source as it's basis. What a joke. You used to be better at this.

[ImpressiveGainz]

So now owning a mutual fund is equivalent to sitting on the board and doing insider trader.

OP, care to take a stab how how that's worse than literally selling all your stocks after a private meeting with other congressmen before you ramp up hysteria for an epidemic?

Smart businessman knows how to make smart investments................news at 11

[jtaylor2010]

I guess we should have seen this coming. As more and more evidence of its efficacy will probably be emerging soon they have to pivot away from “it doesn’t even work” and find another avenue of attack. The only weird thing is why they are so determined to make this particular topic an area of concern. They could’ve dropped it weeks ago and moved on, yet here we are acting surprised that a billionaire has invested in a major medical company

[ImBunky]

I hope Hydroxychloroquine really takes off, it is quite likely that I have a mutual fund in which a small percentage of it is invested in a company that manufactures it.

Waiting answers OP.

Not shocked "sources" all just point back to one article.

This is how they do it. Doesn't matter if it's true or not, they know there are rubes out there like tammy that will repost it based on the headline alone.
It will give cover for reporters at today's task force meeting to ask the President about it. Seed more discontent and doubt.
In a different time, these people would be lined up against a wall and given a cigarette.

[JoshSP1985]

No response as I figured.

[Procta]

so is he invested in all the companies that make these drugs because there are many

Hydroxychloroquin is probably an afterthought drug for that company at this point. It’s old as hell and I don’t believe it is first line for anything, really.

[ClivesTriceps]

Tammy is a masochist, he loves getting embarrassed with facts.
