Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Schumer ask President Trump to lower flags on public buildings nationwide as the U.S. coronavirus death toll reaches 100,000.
Trump would have to make the order through a presidential proclamation. It’s unclear whether he would do so since he and the Democratic leaders have clashed over the response to the pandemic.this week in response to his decision to take the drug hydroxychloroquine.
“I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his, shall we say, weight group, morbidly obese, they say,” Pelosi said. Elaborating on the comment Wednesday, Pelosi told reporters, “I gave him a dose of his own medicine. He's called women one thing or another over time, and I thought he thinks that passes off as humor in certain cultures, and I thought that was what that was.”
The FDA issued a warning last month that cautioned against the use of the medicine outside of a hospital setting or a clinical trial due to risk of heart rhythm problems.
