Don't be such a martyr on his behalf. If Trump promoted a proven treatment that had the backing of the majority of medical science, I don't think anyone would offended...maybe not even if Trump decided to purchase massive equities holdings in such companies the day before his announcement...
Anyway, most of us are starved for common sense and normalcy, so if Trump wants to start acting like a real president, I don't think anyone's going to protest. In fact a lot of people would probably be stunned into silence.
Like the stock market (which I "get" Trump has little to do with - but he'll no doubt claim credit).
And hey, I admit to being stunned with what's going on - in a non-objectionable sort of way, for 401k purposes.
But I'm also honest enough to admit that if the market were at 29,000 under President Obama during a WW pandemic, the reporting on it would be completely different that what we're seeing now.
