Speaker Pelosi slams President Trump for his decision to take hydroxychloroquine, saying that health experts have warned about its effects and that it could be harmful to the president because she said he's 'morbidly obese.'
"A lot of good things have come out about the hydroxy. A lot of good things have come out. You'd be surprised at how many people are taking it, especially the front-line workers — before you catch it," Trump said at the White House."I happen to be taking it...I'm taking it — hydroxychloroquine — right now."
In 2018, the White House physician at the time, Dr. Ronny Jackson, said that Trump had an LDL cholesterol level of 143, well above the desired level of 100 or less. CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta said at the time that the information indicated that Trump has a common form of heart disease. Last year, the White House said that based on Trump’s annual physical, he weighed 243 pounds, gaining four pounds from the previous year.
