If hydroxychloroquine becomes an accepted treatment, several pharmaceutical companies stand to profit, including shareholders and senior executives with connections to the president. Mr. Trump himself has a small personal financial interest in Sanofi, the French drugmaker that makes Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine.
Very unsurprising

Allanfan— need to get to a point where everyone gets tested.
Need people to stay home quarantined. Once there is a combination of both we can quell the fire while we wait for a cure. I’m not sure we’ll have sports u less they are simply televised for another year.
Until the fire is out— I mean really out— no chance to get back to normal

This really looks like a non story. I was curious as I think it could be an obvious conflict of course. I understand 99% of the people in this thread despise Trump
(to put it lightly). I was a Bernie guy, so it is kind of non emotional for me to go through the thread. My point here is, be careful of the emotion getting the better
of you. Things like this can add to our previously held beliefs in a dishonest way. I don't mean that against anyone. We all experience this to some degree.
I did a bit of digging.
Trumps "interest" here is via a part of a mutual fund he holds (mentioned below in the Business Insider article.) For some perspective I found the below:
Forbes: (snippet)
Forbes estimates the value of Trump’s Sanofi holdings to be less than $3,000; for context, Forbes estimates Trump's total net worth at $2.1 billion
https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoyt...
Business Insider said this:
Trump has a distant financial link to a pharma giant that makes the drug he's been pushing to fight COVID-19 — but it's probably worth less than $1,000
https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-sm...
I don't really watch TV, so I am not familiar with CNN, ABC, FOX, etc. that much (more via internet clips.) And I'm not familiar with Forbes or Business Insider. I found
some other articles (e.g. from Salon - https://www.salon.com/2020/04/07/trump-h...
but they don't mention an amount.
Marketwatch calculated (due to it being in a mutual fund), that it could be around $99. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trumps...
Martin - You were correct. I never thought to check my spam as I sent the first email and thought it would of course allow a return in. Thanks for your friendly letter and points taken.
Re this topic here, I think the burden is a bit on the people who brought it up to give financial amounts. Without that things can really be misconstrued. Everything I found point to the $$$ being miniscule.
I don't really enjoy taking part in back and forth's but wanted to drop this in here as it concerned me at first.

I'm not saying it's a smoking gun. It's just odd behavior for him to start aggressively pushing a drug that still has so many questions surrounding it's effectiveness. People's lives are on the line. We can't afford half-truths. It could be nothing, it could be just a snippet of the much larger picture

President Donald Trump on Sunday once again touted the potential life-saving benefits of treating coronavirus patients with hydroxychloroquine, a powerful anti-malaria drug, despite a dearth of medical professionals or clinical evidence supporting his claims. It just so happens that one of the largest manufacturers of the drug, Novartis, previously paid Trump’s now-incarcerated former personal attorney Michael Cohen more than $1 million for healthcare policy insight following Trump’s election in 2016.
The Swiss drug maker signed a contract that paid Cohen’s newly formed limited-liability corporation Essential Consultants $100,000 per month in February of 2017. After details of the deal were leaked by the now-jailed Michael Avenatti, whose then-client Stormy Daniels was engaged in a legal dispute with the president, the company’s CEO issued a public apology saying Novartis “made a mistake” in contracting with the president’s personal attorney.

I saw ther other stuff later as well and I am not emotional about it, just because I post emojis.
I am kinda way past the quagmire of Anerican politics and its inane complicity to the oligarchy at all levels. I am not a Bernie guy either though, I was the last time around. I saw how he led his followers like the pied piper back into the fold of "blue no matter who" shitscape of morality void, spineless blobs of gelatinous deceit that call themselves Democrats. And he is getting ready to do it again. Nope I want to see this system crash and burn, I have nothing invested in it.
