We regret to inform you that the NYT article on Trump's 'small personal financial interest' in Sanofi is total BS

Blue-check Twitter is going nuts this morning sharing a New York Times article that suggested President Trump and people close to him stand to gain if hydroxychloroquine actually works as a coronavirus therapeutic.

“Trump himself has a small interest in @Sanofi, which makes a brand-name hydroxychloroquine version”:

Here’s the exact quote from the article that has everyone fired up: “Mr. Trump himself has a small personal financial interest in Sanofi, the French drugmaker that makes Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine”:

And “there’s nothing wrong with this financial interest”:

Try again, libs.
