>> A responsible President / leader of any government would have kept his mouth shut.

Nonsense. Has nothing to do with his responsibility or lack of it. It has to do with your personality preference in a president.

While I don't like his personality at all, I'm objective about what he has done throughout his term of office. Bringing HCQ to light was a harmless endeavor and may or may not prove to have been beneficial. It is highly unlikely to have been harmful in any way. We had no treatment for these people who largely, received the drug when it was too late to have done much good. Reality is 100s of millions of courses of treatment are administered monthly, and people randomly dropping dead on the street has not been a great concern.

It is easy to confuse your personal disdain for Trump with "irresponsibility". Irresponsibility is when you go strike a deal with Iran and pay them vast sums of money which they can then use to implement their nuclear ambitions. Or when you commit American dollars to an insane transfer of money from Americans to island nations for no good reason at all. Or when you draw a "red line" in the sand then walk away from it. Or when you repeatedly use end-around techniques to get what you want even after Congress has refused to give it to you.

The list could go on. I assume you opposed all that stuff as "irresponsible."
