Donald Trump Jr has utterly bizarre meltdown after his dad blows it
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:
What’s your point? 2 grams of caffeine can kill you too, but no one is planning on prescribing that much.
This bullshit is why everyone hates and doesn’t trust the media. They are trying to create fear for clicks with misleading and irrelevant info.
You people truly suck! https://t.co/HU2KtD37TW

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.
