President Trump talking about certain medications showing potential to help treat people infected with coronavirus isn’t being received well by many, including NBC/MSNBC legal contributor Katie Phang:
Trump is practicing medicine without a license. https://t.co/t8Wm3qagNZ

Trump’s opponents in the media are increasingly losing their minds over his coronavirus press conferences. Why could that be?
The only real explanation for this kind of stupidity is that they're scared to death that this pandemic isn't going to hurt Trump in November, and might even help him. https://t.co/siiTSpX1i0

This is as stupid as saying Trump is pretending to be an astronaut if he talks about what's going on at NASA.

God, the media are evil. Bad legal takes and convincing the public that a potential cure is wrong simply because they hate Trump. https://t.co/OwgZPA29PD

Phang backed up that claim by citing a “real doctor” (guess who):

Oh my. Really?
Eugene Gu is not a practicing physician as he was terminated from his residency in 2018. https://t.co/wCAcDfW7DQ

Cites a political activist fired from his residency in 2018 which even leftwing sites denounce as an abuser.https://t.co/ZNfvIRy5av https://t.co/wCAcDfW7DQ— Chad Felix Greene (@chadfelixg) March 21, 2020
Other than that, she nailed it!

"Real doctor" is rather charitable. https://t.co/lsH6qQjBPs

A real doctor does not have a suspended medical license, Katie. https://t.co/gw5H23nltE

Which makes her original tweet about Trump even more ironic.
