Is Trump lying? Let us consider this. First, it's Trump: so of course he's lying. But let's give him the benefit of the doubt, for a moment. Here's how we can tell, if he's being truthful. He said "front-line workers" repeatedly, that they were taking it. Would doctors and nurses, who do know science, and are aware of the importance of testing a drug, actually be taking this thing? I don't know, for sure, but I really doubt it.
Secondly, what was his proof, or basis for taking it? He "got a lot of phone calls about it." This is similar to the vague, old "People are saying such-and-such." Who, what people? Who called him? Who would call him, and tell him that this stuff worked, when it has been shown not to?
Finally, and a little devil's advocate here, Trump is a known germophobe. So when people in the White House started testing positive for Coronavirus, Trump might have actually freaked out, and decided to take this drug.
He's not only a liar, you see, but stark-raving crazy too.
