Negotiating prices with drug companies is what countries with universal healthcare do already. Like I'm all for this if it actually lowers prices for Americans (idk if it will though, as Trump is a grifter first and foremost). I just find it highly amusing that people here HATE the idea of universal healthcare so bad here bc heaven forbid a non-white gets healthcare, but doing this, which is something nearly every government of the world with universal healthcare already does annually, is somehow fine? Is it fine only bc Trump is doing it?
Yes, if it was any Democrat doing this Trump and all right wing media would be against it.
You can thank the Supreme Court for ruling that is sitting president can do whatever the fuck he wants for four years unless he pisses off Congress so bad that they impeach him, Which isn’t enough because the Senate also has to want to remove him.
So I guess you become president, do whatever you want for four years, make a whole bunch of money By stealing it from the American taxpayers convincing half of them that it’s OK to steal from their opposition, wipe your ass with constitution, and then die before you can be held accountable while passing off all the grift to your nepo-children and vapid family.
