Just signed a new Executive Order to LOWER DRUG PRICES! My Most Favored Nation order will ensure that our Country gets the same low price Big Pharma gives to other countries. The days of global freeriding at America’s expense are over...

...and prices are coming down FAST! Also just ended all rebates to middlemen, further reducing prices.

the Bay of Pigs was a disaster. So, if there was an award named for it, Trump would deserve it.

Just smoke and mirrors. His falsely touted COVID being cured by Hydroxychloroquine or Chloroquine which is the only discounted drug in America.

You know, like when a parent is driving and the child sits in the back seat with a fake steering wheel and pretends to be driving the car? Trump has a vivid imagination and may actually believe he just signed this sweeping, massively beneficial executive order, when it's really just a piece of paper with words on it that doesn't actually do anything; it's as effective and real as the child's steering wheel.

I think he also believes he can pull off the presidency like a reality show. It’s not really real — it just has to look that way to the fans.

And what's this about getting rid of rebates to the middleman?

That's Mafia talk.
