He recalls not wanting to disrespect the office, adding, "I do have, even to this day, a very strong respect for the office of presidency of the United States." He was uncomfortable with statements like "it would disappear like magic" and with invoking "magical elixirs like hydroxychloroquine because somebody told him that hydroxychloroquine works."
