    What was the special circumstance for which Trump got that treatment? Would you have had the option to also get it?

      It was an emergency use - that the virus was novel, that we didn’t have adequate treatments for it yet, and Trump was considered to be in a high-risk category.

      Yes - I would have had the same option were I in a high risk category.

      Remember all those assholes getting Hydroxychloroquine? They were using a similar same emergency use authorization to do so since it was being used for things it was otherwise not authorized for.

        Would your insurance have covered it? Did other people also get it as soon as Trump did?

          I haven’t asked my insurance company. Maybe? I’ve been very clear that he will have easier access to healthcare due to his status. I expect you to ignore this as well as every other idiot who feels clever replying to me telling me that he will have easier access to healthcare.

          But the standard with which he is treated is the same. He can just afford it more easily.

          Edited to address:

          Did other people also get it as soon as Trump did?

          They had access to it the same time Trump did - the rule I linked to does not say “ONLY IF YOU’RE PRESIDENT”.
