Trump Boasts ‘I’m Still Here’ As WHO Suspends Trials Of Hydroxychloroquine Over Increased Deaths
As WHO (World Health Organization) suspends their trials of the anti-malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine — over increased deaths — President Donald Trump boasts “I’m still here” as he finishes his treatments. In March, Trump claimed the drug had great benefits, and advised COVID-19 patients to request it for treatment.
Even though the FDA warned against using the drug touted by the president, months later, he admitted to have been taking it “for weeks.” After his reveal, studies surfaced of clinical trials happening around the world, proving the harms of taking the drug.

Studies had shown that it increased deaths in COVID-19 patients versus those who did not take the drug. Days later, WHO suspended their trials. Now, as they’ve done so, Trump announces that he’s finished his treatments, bragging, “[I’ve] finished, just finished, yeah. And by the way, I’m still here … To the best of my knowledge, here I am.”
Continuing his praises this interview on Full Measure with Sharyl Atkisson, he claimed that he had encountered “tremendous reports” about the drug, and that “many people think it saved their lives.”
