Trump at opioid summit: 'I know about rigging the system because I had the system rigged on me'

Trump at opioid summit: ‘I know about rigging the system because I had the system rigged on me’



https://www.rawstory.com/2019/04/trump-goes-off-script-opioid-summit-know-rigging-system-system-rigged/

While speaking at an event on opioid abuse, the president argued that pharmaceutical companies are giving European countries better prices than they give U.S. customers.

Trump vowed to stop the practice and called his promise “a big deal.”

“At long last we’re stopping drug companies in foreign countries from rigging the system,” Trump said before straying from his prepared remarks.

“I know all about the rigging of the system because I had the system rigged on me,” the president said, likely referring to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

“I think you know what I’m talking about,” Trump added. “Unfortunately, that will be your soundbite tonight but that’s okay. The system was rigged!”

As a presidential candidate, Trump had repeatedly said his father gave him a “very small” $1 million loan, which he turned into an empire.

A sweeping new investigative report published by The New York Times on Tuesday, however, says Trump’s father actually lent his son at least $60.7 million.

The Times reports that the amount would be worth $140 million in today’s dollars and that much of it was never repaid.
