If you ignore the press and go to the science, you'll see that the RCTs done in other countries failed to show any effect.
Plus, your theory doesn't have any legs because it makes no sense for other countries to ruin their economies and lockdown themselves just to make Trump look bad. If it was a magic cure then countries like India wouldn't give a flying fuck about Trump or whatever your pet theory is.
It's not a magic cure and had nothing to do with lockdown. There are 53 studies that show positive results of HCQ in covid19 infections. 14 studies with neutral and negative results, but of those 10 were in late stage patients where it doesn't seem to be beneficial, and two were the flawed Brazil paper and the fraudulent Lancet paper which was retracted. You seem to think the science shows the opposite, perhaps your view was informed by the media on this topic.
It does seem to be a valid treatment option and most countries that temporarily stopped using it soon reinstated it as their mortality rates spiked.
