Trump says he's taking malaria drug in case he gets virus

Yes and yes. One would have to be a fool to think any President doesn't lie, and this one about 10 times more than any other.
We laugh or some people do at some things today but we don't know what we will be laughing at six months from now.
Trump is surrounded by covid and dealing with it according to his own personal choices. And there could be (or could not) results from early intervention studies that show that his decision is not outside the range of what some people might choose.
Meanwhile, Joe is going to have to come up out of the cellar and he will have people around him who have covid because that is how it is these days. So how is it going to go with Joe if he gets covid? Everybody needs to do their own thinking even if it is not Trump's solution.

Trump says a doctor he’s ‘never heard of’ sent him a letter about hydroxychloroquine so he decided to take it

Tang et al. is a multi-center, open-label RCT involving administration of hydroxychloroquine to 150 patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Sixteen government-designated COVID-19 treatment centers were involved. The dose of hydroxychloroquine used was 1,200 mg daily for three days, followed by 800 mg daily for 2-3 weeks. This is a huge dose of hydroxychloroquine (in comparison, the most commonly used regimen in the United States currently seems to be 800 mg on the first day followed by 400 mg daily for four days). Patients with severe renal or hepatic disease were excluded, to avoid potential drug accumulation.
