Each time Donald Trump goes on television and says something dangerous and stupid, Donald Trump Jr goes on Twitter and says something even more dangerous and stupid in the name of trying to defend his father. Junior may have taken the cake this time.

Donald Trump is falsely claiming that the FDA has approved a malaria drug called chloroquine for the treatment of coronavirus. While the FDA is indeed doing clinical trials, nothing has been determined yet about the effectiveness or safety involved. In general, chloroquine is a dangerous drug with serious side effects, and its use has to be weighed carefully against a number of other factors.

Just don’t tell that to Donald Trump Jr. Even as the media works to try to minimize the damage that Donald Trump’s misinformation is doing, Junior is busy tweeting impossibly stupid things like this:

We’re not even sure where to start. Did it never occur to Donald Trump Jr that since the President of the United States is falsely telling people the drug is an approved treatment for coronavirus, desperate people might resort to taking too much of it while self medicating? In fact, multiple people have already landed in the hospital as a result of Trump’s false claims about the drug. But don’t tell that to Junior, who seems to think it’s as safe as caffeine, or whatever the idiot was trying to say.

It's been a tough week, a tough month, a tough year. For all of us. But the fight goes on. Because we know how important this is. Because we care. Because we're the ones who fight. It's you and me. It has been for a decade. And I'm never backing down. But Palmer Report does have operating expenses. And in this uncertain time, I truly need your help. For that reason I've launched the Palmer Report 2025 Operating Expenses Fund. If we can fully fund this, it'll bridge the gap and ensure that Palmer Report can keep fighting now and forever. I'm asking you to contribute what you can to our GoFundMe Page or our PayPal Page, both of which accept debit and credit cards. Thank you.
