Donald Trump said it was “one of the most important and impactful” announcements he has ever made on his Truth Social platform, but the news that drug and pharmaceutical prices will see a 30 to 80% reduction “almost immediately” was followed by Trump making a clown of himself.
He told reporters on Monday: “Basically, what we’re doing is equalizing. It’s a new word that I came up with, which I think is probably the best word. We’re gonna equalize.”
As you probably know it is already a word…
Brian Krassenstein wrote: “BREAKING: At his press conference on drug prices, Trump proudly unveiled what he claims is a brand new word that he “came up with”: “Equalize.” We’re clearly in the presence of linguistic greatness.”
Trump told his Truth Social followers on Sunday: “I am pleased to announce that I am pleased to announce that Tomorrow morning, in the White House, at 9:00 A.M., I will be signing one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country’s history.
“Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%. They will rise throughout the World in order to equalize and, for the first time in many years, bring FAIRNESS TO AMERICA!
“I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World. Our Country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens Healthcare Costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought of before.
“Additionally, on top of everything else, the United States will save TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.”
One person wrote on X: “Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who remembers that President Biden ALREADY lowered pharmaceutical prices from 38% to 79%, and MAGA called it “Communist price controls.” trump just claimed the idea for himself via executive order, and now the hypocrites LOVE it.”
