Just another diversion

Trump taking hydroxychloroquine is a diversionary political ploy.  If indeed he is really taking it (as opposed to the statement being just another of his ‘alternative facts’), there are so many things it stirs up.  Of course, not the least of these is that if he is taking it and does not contract the disease, he will tout the drug as the reason why and bluster that “They should have listened to me, I knew all along it would save people!” and his bleach-drinking toadies will bobble their heads and say “YES! Smartest man alive, knew more than the doctors” and pledge their support even stronger. Then he will do tweet storms about how “they” (doctors and scientists and of course the public) should have listened to him because it would have stopped the spread sooner and with far fewer deaths.  And if by chance he does get it, of course he and they will attribute that to another Democratic/Obama /Biden/Pelosi plot against him, ignoring the fact that he left himself wide open to infection.  Or, is this all just another distraction from the too quickly heading towards 100,000 deaths, or better yet the alleged ‘emergency’ justifying sale of arms to Saudi Arabia, or the firing of yet another inspector general? Either way, diversionary political ploy, as are so many things he does.
