Trump and Donald Trump Jr. helped blast a viral video from a group calling itself America’s Frontline Doctors, a stunt that spread false claims about hydroxychloroquine and masks before platforms moved to limit it. The episode was a fresh reminder that the president was still willing to amplify junk science even as the pandemic was exploding around him.
Donald Trump Jr. promoted the same misleading doctors’ video on July 27, adding another Trump-family megaphone to a misinformation push that social platforms later acted against.
