Donald Trump lies through his teeth all the time, but his claim to be taking hydroxychloroquine (a quack cure for Covid-19) flies in the face of an official letter from the White House doctor, Sean P. Conley.
Trump was an anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist before entering politics so his latest erratic behaviour is part of a trend of deliberately undermining the advice of America's top medics and scientists and the FDA (Federal Drug Administration).
Trump does this regularly, of course, for example when it comes to wearing a face mask in confined public spaces to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Question - Journalist
"Have you seen anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the origin of this virus?"
Answer - Donald Trump
As ever Trump failed to produce any evidence to back up his dumb claim which helps to explain why 11 per cent of Americans believe that Elvis Presley may still be alive.
