President Trump suddenly visited Congress to have lunch with US Republican senators.

But again, I didn't wear a mask. The White House's closest muscles also took off the mask.

CNN reported that lawmakers had dinner with President Trump without being tested by Corona19.

President Trump argued that the announcement itself, which warned against the side effects of malaria drugs, was hostile to him.

[Trump / President of the United States: The only announcement that gave bad results for malaria drugs was very old and obsolete. The announcement was hostile to Trump.]

He also told the doctors to ask the doctor for a prescription, saying that malaria drugs would protect him from Corona19.

[Trump / President of the United States: Malaria drugs do not harm people. I think it's a step further from corona. You can ask your doctors. Many doctors will love it.]

However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns against side effects of malaria drugs and not to use them outside the hospital.

Medical experts have warned that if taken incorrectly, they may die.

pro-Trump's Fox News criticized malaria drug use, and President Trump complained that Fox News wasn't the same.
