Do you have an exact quote from the president where he recommends that the public obtain and self medicate with chloroquine? Or have you significantly altered his statements for your own political agenda?

That link has absolutely nothing to do with whether Trump "recommends that the public obtain and self medicate with chloroquine"

Stop with the disinfo: "A man has died and his wife is under critical care after the couple, both in their 60s, ingested chloroquine phosphate," No uncertainty here. Trump killed this man, and possibly will have killed his wife.
Seems like the pharmacist is more liable since they should have given him the proper safe dosage.
They consumed a fish tank cleaning chemical, not a pharmaceutical prescription.

#55Forsythia
Please just delete that. You're being irresponsible.
There's evidence of Chloroquine working, but the pro/con benefits don't seem to be clear yet. And it's a potent drug with harsh side effects that needs to be administered by someone who knows what they are doing.
Meanwhile, Forsythia was entirely pointless in that movie.

#56The repeated recommendation to use a drug which has not been properly tested by the president of the most powerful nation on this planet seems inappropriate to me.
When did Trump recommend that people self-medicate chloroquine? Even the CNN article trying to pin this on him only quoted him as saying that he was working with the FDA to make it available via prescription for this treatment.
You're surely aware that Trump regularly declares himself more knowledgeable than the experts and derides his critics as 'fake news' or 'never trumpers' etc. etc. It's not a stretch to think that more credulous folk might take his tweets literally in defiance of common sense, given the media ecosystem dedicated to promoting his 24-7.

So everything below him explicitly telling everyone to obtain and consume chloroquine doesn't count, right? He's the goddamn president. I expect his words to be very carefully weighted.
Let me help you a bit: s/I expect his words to be carefully weighted/I expect a person in his position to use carefully considered words/
By now we know that's not the reality the US lives in.

True thing.
Also people who I like like Elon Musk spoke about it

On one side his voice should be heard, it may give people hope and help to move stuff
On the other side, some people who don't know what balance is, might use it in the wrong way.

You're blaming Trump for the peanut gallery on Twitter?

Exact quote regarding a drug not approved by the FDA for treatment of the disease: "We’re going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately." And: "It may work, it may not work. I feel good about it. That’s all it is. Just a feeling." From a pharmaceutical company, this would be patently illegal advertising since it's mentioning an off-label use of a drug. From a politician with zero medical knowledge,…
The FDA has approved it as a prescription drug. You shouldn't use a prescription drug unless you have a doctor telling you to. A doctor would know to look for the side effects and contraindications of quinine (of which there are many).
Obviously, self medicating a prescription drug is irresponsible. None of what the president says changes that. He said the FDA approved it. Independent of the truth value of that statement, it would still be approved of as a prescription drug.
