Just a reminder that Trump has a financial stake in Sanofi, a company that makes the name-brand version of the drug.

What was the success rate of recovery on this stuff?

Doesn’t this also possibly confirm that he may’ve gotten it?

ETA: And if this is successful, will we ever hear the end of it?

Bull. Unless he’s taking it for lupus or something, he is lying. No doctor worth his salt would prescribe it and Donnie is too much of a wuss to play with it on HIS body. It is pathetic how he will play with people’s health just for a alleged ‘win’ in his petty little mind.
