1. He's an idiot.
2. He thinks it will help.
3. His Dr is giving it to him by order for real or a sugar pill to shut him up.
4. He is lying about it.
5. He really does think it will help (see item 1).
6. He is saying or doing that pill to support his previous claims of it.
7. He is distracting us from firing yet another agency Inspector General (State Dept this week).
8. He isn't getting enough attention on Fox News.
9. And my favorite. He is encouraging his base to think the Covid pandemic is solved by his actions to find a preventative (proving it on himself after known exposure to an infected "loser" on the staff. If HE takes a pill, his base can take a pill. And those who take the pill and don't die (as 99% won't) will credit him with solving the "problem". And THEY will decide that, since he beat the Covid virus, he can solve any problem. Therefore, they re-elect him...
I pick #3 and #9. Idiot threw a hissyfit, his doctor rolled his eyes and gave him a Tic-Tack.
