      Have you looked at the poll numbers for how many Democrats trust Trump as a source of information? Now narrow the sample from Democrats generally to frequent Democratic donors. The answer is common sense.https://twitter.com/anamariecox/status/1244741998529126413 …

      Legitimately confused as to how “donating to Democratic causes” would somehow prove that the woman that took the aquarium additative was not influenced by Trump’s dangerous disinformation. Or do they think she... took poison to... “own the repubs”? https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/woman-who-ingested-fish-tank-cleaner-was-prolific-donor-to-democratic-causes/ …

      OK, but what? You think that she got the idea from someone besides Trump (even though Trump was the most prominent person touting the compound in the fish tank cleaner), she and her hubby took it, and then (as evidenced by her donations) she pretended she heard it from Trump?

      Trump did not tout fish tank cleaner, or anything in fish tank cleaner. It's not even the same substance.

      I'm not trying to fight with you. I like you. I just don't see what the theory is based on this woman's donations. She said she heard about it from Trump, but you think what actually happened instead? I'm genuinely curious.

      What was Trump "disinformation"? It's difficult to answer you without knowing what that even means. Trump said that hydroxychloroquine (similar but not the same as Chloroquine phosphate) was approved for compassionate use - which is totally true.

      He also talked about chloroquine, which CDC says is precisely the same as chloroquine phosphate. Please stop repeating the false claim that he was talking about a different compound.

          Nobody is saying it is not a mistake to take fish tank cleaner. But the ingredient is the same. Now that you keep pushing this I will dig up the link and the exact screenshots that prove it. I did this all day several weeks ago.

          I asked an actual pharmacist. He said they are the same. The only difference is the "salt" form (phosphate) requires a bigger dosage for the same effect. Let me see if I screen captured his response...

          Well, he's correct. I mean, that's why it's been so readily approved for compassionate use all over the world and clinical trials could start so fast. Why wouldn't he say that? It's true.

          So: NO, I am not saying Trump said to drink fish tank cleaner. YES I am saying what he touted is the same compound in the fish tank cleaner. And NO you won't answer the first question I asked: what is your theory? Is the widow *lying* about hearing about this from Trump?

          And as before, it's clear you won't answer the question I asked, I suspect because it's obvious to you now that there is no good answer to it. Her donations are obviously irrelevant if interesting.

          You're the prosecutor here, with your case being that his statements directly led to her taking those compounds. The defense her has evidence that calls that into question. Showing she's in a group that wouldn't believe him if he said the sky was blue, or that 1+2=3, helps that.
