And now we have a randomized controlled trial with some
data about this.  The results are sad: the group that
took hydroxychloroquine had a 28% fatality rate versus
12% in the control group.  There was no difference in
who needed a ventilator, though a group given both
hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin did have lower
ventilation rates, but 22% fatality rate.

An earlier study out of Brazil studying the efects
of chloroquine was partially halted after 25% of
participants were observed showing signs of heart
arrhythmia.

So yeah.  Dr Trump's magic snakeoil is not only
ineffective, it's lethal.
