Trump 'enthusiastic' over unproven coronavirus therapeutic, MyPillow creator says
https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/17/politics/trump-oleandrin-mike-lindell-coronavirus/index.html(CNN)President Donald Trump and Mike Lindell, the creator of MyPillow and an avowed supporter, participated in a July meeting at the White House regarding the use of oleandrin as a potential therapeutic for coronavirus, Lindell confirmed to CNN.
Oleandrin is an extract from the plant Nerium oleander. The raw oleander plant is highly toxic, and consumption of it can be fatal.
He described the President's response toward the extract as "enthusiastic."
"He was enthusiastic, as he is on everything that's going to help people," he told CNN, adding that Trump wanted the Food and Drug Administration to "do its course."

Last week, Lindell was added to the board of Phoenix Biotechnology, which makes oleandrin, and received a financial stake in the company.
Yep, snake oil from a greedy creep.
