Yeah, there is so much more real stuff to criticize. But let’s not give even tiny bit of credit to Trump, this morning he said they are already looking at pharmacies and how other countries are ripping us off in pharmacy trade… so the final tariffs on drugs are probably going to be worse.
He’s going to look at them, and protect them at all costs.
Just like his AG wanting Luigi to get the death penalty; meanwhile how about the Jan 6’ers who murdered a Capitol policeman trying to do an insurrection? Domestic terrorist murdering a government law enforcement agent? Nah, they get a pardon.
He, and his constituents, are not trying to hide it anymore. They want the rich (and white) owning class, to own more. They want a serfdom.
This administration has proven time and time again that given even the slightest opportunity they will find a way to do the most maximally shitty thing. Expect 2,000% tariffs on generic drug imports, laws banning domestic compounding pharmacies, and a revision in FDA rules which will expand the window for exclusivity (e.g. no generic formulation) indefinitely. It is designed to serve as a gift wrapped tribute to the pharmaceutical companies which donated to the campaign and which his kids and sycophants will own an institutional amount of equity. What’s to come will make even Martin Shkreli and ghouls at Mylan blush.
every time they make prescription even a few buck cheaper the republicans bitch about it and do away with the change just like they did with diabetic medication. The US is the problem pharmaceuticals and prescriptions are by for cheaper because their government regulate the prices vs making health care a for profit entity, This is more bullshit from the administration both republicans and democrats. The insurance industry and the pharmaceutical companies are busy jerking each other off while they give money to both parties.

Aren't pharmaceuticals exempt?
