This was another great example of the infiltration of the MSM by patriots in control.
This was during the 18 May 2016 President's Round Table With Restaurant and Industry Executives, near the end, when the President had invited the press to ask questions.
First, watch this segment for 5 seconds as a note is passed to the President:
The President's announcement that he had already been taking HCQ caught everyone by surprise.
This preemptive counter narrative strike by Team Trump was a master stroke. The President ended this round table and the second Fox Business switched back to the network, Cavuto just happened to have Dr. Bob Lahita. St Joseph University Hospital Chairman of Medicine (who also just happened to have been watching the President's Round Table with Restaurant Executives and Industry Leaders) standing by live.
After Cavuto, "The-Sky-Is-Falling", bloviates all over himself about the dangers of HCQ, (listen to the full clip for "It will kill you!") he has the following texchange with Dr. Lahita (transcribed below):
1st part of segment - full interview with D. Lahita (Cavuto's drive-by hit piece):
Cavuto: Doctor... what would be your take on the President's saying he is taking this as a preventive measure?
Dr. Lahita: I was actually very surprised, waiting to talk to you about the vaccine and then I heard his meeting, and we have had no evidence whatsoever, and we use it in those who are very sick and those who come in... and this was used, like two and half months ago, and we saw absolutely no effect. People on... patients of mine with Lupas, rheumatoid arthritis have been on this drug forever. Its very useful in those conditions but as far as out treatment of Covid-19 patients, whether you are slightly ill, or very ill, we have seen we have seen no effect whatsoever with this drug.
Cavuto: Is there any danger, Doctor, this is where you could help out far more than me, in advising people, you might say, it might be a good preventive measure, the President of the United States is taking it, he thinks its going to be beneficial, he's had no problems in the last week or so, so why shouldn't I. You say what?
Dr. Lahita: Well, the problem with the drug is very simple. This is quinine related drug so this drug, in addition to Zitromax, it is the zitromyacine the president mentioned, can cause a widening of a certain kind of polarization within the heart. We see it on the electrocardiogram. When that widening is too great. its called the QT interval, when that widens you can have a fatal arrhythmia, which means an irregular heart rhythm, which will cause your death. And your death will instantaneous. You wouldn't know what hit you. The people around you would say. "Oh, my gosh. He's lost consciousness. He's unresponsive. And unless a paramedic, or a nurse, or a doctor is right there, that can reverse this arrhythmia, you're dead. And that's a big issue. So don't advise anyone to go out and take Zithromax or Plaquinil as its known, or hydroxychoroquine.
Cavuto: I don't know the medical makeup of it, Doctor, the medical attention the President of the United States gets, Doctor, I assume among the best in the world, and that the White House doctor would write off on this ...

The note that was handed to the President 20 minutes before he stated he was taking the HCQ and zinc.
He made the statement about taking HCQ 50 seconds before he ended the press questioning and the meeting.
Change My Mind... that note was the green light to make the announcement about taking HCQ because someone tipped the fact that Cavuto's hit piece was lined up to air just as the round table was to end.
Cavuto's lead in to his conversation with Dr. Lahita was a well prepared narrative hit piece (watch the clip as Cavuto reads his "script", and ticks off all the counter points to HCQ effectiveness) and the HCQ-is-bad doctor teed up live to support these scripted Cavuto remarks was timed to catch Trump supporters (high viewer count / targeted audience / get them divided) at the tail end of the President's meeting. This was not so much a counter-narrative preemptive strike by the Trump Team side as it was a full on ROLLING BROADSIDE up Cavuto's stern. Real Master and Commander stuff that.
