That's a good step forward. I'm sure his Big Pharma millionaire friends aren't going to be happy with him. Maybe the prices will go down here too?


President Donald Trump announced he will be signing an executive order Monday to ensure the Americans pay the "lowest price anywhere in the world" for prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals.

"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," Trump announced.

For many years the World has wondered why Prescription Drugs and Pharmaceuticals in the United States States of America were SO MUCH HIGHER IN PRICE THAN THEY WERE IN ANY OTHER NATION, SOMETIMES BEING FIVE TO TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SAME DRUG, MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME LABORATORY OR PLANT, BY THE SAME COMPANY???

It was always difficult to explain and very embarrassing because, in fact, there was no correct or rightful answer. The Pharmaceutical/Drug Companies would say, for years, that it was Research and Development Costs, and that all of these costs were, and would be, for no reason whatsoever, borne by the “suckers” of America, ALONE. Campaign Contributions can do wonders, but not with me, and not with the Republican Party. We are going to do the right thing, something that the Democrats have fought for many years. Therefore, 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. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Just a week ago Trump was talking about higher tariffs on pharmaceuticals, now he is saying he will lower tariffs via MFN to reduce drug prices. Next week he will talk about higher tariffs on pharmaceuticals .... rinse and repeat.

Trump has gone full MAGA Maoist. Today it's price controls, tomorrow it will be rationing when the shelves are empty.

The US was the most powerful nation in history, and this dude fumbled it in 5 months.

Good Luck Americans, colour me glad that we reduced our immigration rates when we did.

He just backed down on China but took $400 million in a jet from Qatar.
But will companies like Celgene pay trump as much so they can keep selling thalidomide for $1000 a pill as a cancer wonder drug?

Trump continuese to trigger you liberals....I thought a Mark Carney win will cure TDS...apparently not...
Mores the pity Richy, liberals don't believe that Trump is Jesus Christ. They see him as a degenerate pos who's ass is bigger than Shaq's.

Thalidomide effectiveness in leukemia treatment is dubious. It's being replaced by Asciminib and Zanubrutinib. The later is sold as Brukinsa (which I'm currently on) costing $8300 US. Fortunately both OHIP and my Group Plan cover the cost...so I don't have to bend over every month. The commercial name for Asciminib is Scemblix, haven't done any research on it.

You're not even slightly worried that not only has Elon been outbid, but AIPAC was just outbid too.
Elon screwed up and now nobody wants him or his swazicars.
Israel fucked up and nobody wants to back starving children, except you.
Now Qatar gets to decide.

So? Obama and Biden didn't do anything about that either but somehow you find it horrible that Trump is doing something about it... TDS - it's a real thang...

Ritchie, it’s truly touching to see you slip so seamlessly into Mitchy’s velvet mantle, like a loyal court jester pledging fealty to your Sultan of the USA! 👑 All rise for Elon the Magnificent: Lord of the Launchpad, High Priest of X, Breaker of Transit Dreams, and now Global Diplomat by Proxy Purchase! Who needs foreign policy when you can just outbid Qatar and call it geopolitics? The man’s playing 4D chess with Monopoly money! :ROFLMAO:

Sorry Richy there's a new Jesus in town. Conclave has rejuvenated his career, his Oscar windfall has him set for big things in 2025-26.
