Yeah he's been trying to force Australia to raise the cost of prescription drugs here; It's one of the reasons Temu Trump got wiped out at our election. Him stomping about doesn't mean it's happening.
Some already have. My family has a few monthly prescriptions, one of them we had been paying $4 a month after insurance, it is now $50, another went up to $45. This was before the talk about tariffs on prescriptions.
Since most of pharmaceutical research financing comes from the sale of medicine to US consumers specifically, I have to guess we're not going to be getting a lot of miracle drugs coming down the pike.
It is true U.S. pharma companies typically justify higher drug prices in the U.S. compared to other countries. Pharmas claim they accept lower prices abroad because those governments won’t pay more—whereas in the U.S., there’s more freedom to set prices, and insurers or consumers absorb the cost.
He’s so friggin delusional. High prices for drugs have been pushed for and protected by Republicans since forever! The rest of the world is not making things worse for America, he is.
Been a lot of that today. Have heard most of the ‘familiar refrains’ from across the MAGA land. They even brought up Hunters laptop again. All to distract. They must know they are really out of line.
Most of the content is to move the news cycle along to move off key issues like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid... and tax breaks... coming up in budget vote soon.
The Alcatraz nonsense was only touted to distract from the breaking story that he and his wife are over a billion richer on the cryptocurrency they launched just before inauguration
Helping the white supremacist fascist Afrikaners pack, I guess. Who are these white ethnostate terrorists we’re allowing in? It wouldn’t be the first time.
Is he ordering other Countries to increase their prices so the world has parity? Like ordering other Countries to stop DEI? Is this the weekly Never Seen Before
He can if he controls American pharma companies.
We'll have to see.
Maybe he simply got the other countries to pay more; after all, he says the U.S. will price match.
So stupid either way.
The U.S. needs to stop taking massive corp political donations.
That fixes a lot of problems.
Just wait. They're not going to lower prescription prices in the US, just raise them everywhere else. We'll end up paying even more if he kills profits elsewhere. MAGA monkey's paw again and again.
So we’ve established he didn’t write this post because it’s too coherent, spelled correctly and is grammatically complex. Maybe it’s the “truth” but more likely it’s a distraction from all the truly (a form of truth) awful agenda he and his brown shirts are thrusting on the American people.
Legally dubious? A toddler could tell there is absolutely no legal basis by which he can do this that will stand up in court. Not that that matters anymore, but still.
Even he doesn't know what it means. He'll wait to hear either praise or criticism. If criticism, he will claim he never meant it that way and the Press is misconstruing his words.
He always the hero or victim but never to blame.
The assh0le fought the AFA and everything the Democrats tried to pass for this stuff and tried to overturn what was passed.
Now I am sure he will screw this up. Probably have the whole world pay US prices & he gets a commission.
Why not just medicare/medicaid for all??
The jerk.
I myself am constantly wondering 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
From the leader of the crowd that hates communist socialism !! Here comes price controls while he takes a 400 million bribe on a plane that can only belong to the US government using a weak EO that isn’t backed by congressional law. Mmm “smart”
What's a States States?
This is the plan to crash the pharmaceutical markets. If the drugs aren't available in the US then Health Insurances and Medicare/Medicaid won't have to pay for them.
Winners are the Insurance Companies and Donald's rich "friends."
Oh, so he is reversing the Executive Order he signed January that increased prescription drugs that reversed Biden’s executive order to lower prescription drugs after the Qatar scandal. WE COULD SEE TRUMP!
Elect a clown. Get a circus.
This is Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, and John Roberts' legacy. Hope the "but her emails...", Jill Stein, Biden Gaza Policy, and anti-vax crowd is happy.
Why do conservative Christians believe that every victory for them must come by fucking others over? They had rather fuck over everyone in the world than just tax the rich and churches.
correct, he has no jurisdiction to set prices in other countries. All he can do is tax American companies and give them further incentive to move their headquarters to Europe.
lol, apparently the insurance companies lobbied harder than the pharmaceutical companies. That won’t lower anyones copayments, but it’ll sure expand their profits.
I know it’s beside the point, but I find it dubious that The Great Illiterate could correctly use and spell the word “borne.” Who actually drafted this, PeeWee Himmler?
This is not going to end well. I am stuck on raising prices around the world to equalize what they pay. Short for Tariffs that only American citizens will pay and prices will increase only for Americans citizens. 🍊💩 thinks he is running the world.
This is a dodge to pivot away from the failed China tariff negotiations and Qatar bribing Trump with a plane.
Of course the MSM is going to take the bait.
Don’t. Stay focused.
I hope y'all know trump is not writing to these posts himself. He is not capable of putting together thoughts this cohesively. Somebody is doing it for him.
That’s a particularly woke policy from him🤔 hold up a minute, what is that bit about price matching other countries….. sweet Jesus is he about to inadvertently raise the cost of medication around the world 😳🤨
Why didn't he do this in his first term if it's so obvious and as easy as an EO? Hell, why did it take 4 months into Trump 2.0? Oh, and why did he undo what Biden had done on this very issue, only to do it again??? So many questions, so many stupid answers.
China exports 17% of our pharmaceutical ingredients. So reducing costs nationally, only to pay the 145% tariff? Possibly canceling his EO order out? 😄😄. This is like the UK trade "deal" again.
Didn't OBESE LYING FELON #Trump & his #GOP SYCOPHANTIC DICKSUCKERS **REVERSE** Biden's policy of Medicare being able to negotiate drug prices directly w Big Pharma & certain drugs @ lower costs such as $35/mo insulin & out of pocket limited as well? Diaper Donnie luvs $$ DONORS & sets policy from it
Can we store this whopper with all of the other tall tails like "Make America Great Again" (still waiting on a date of when this is going to happen), "I will be too busy to play golf", "their eating the dogs", "I was named Michigan’s Man of the Year year", (never lived there), Impeach him NOW! 🖕DJT
Just another confirmation that all of the EOs have no authority to do what they state and is only performative for his base and to create a distraction for news organizations.
It's a feel-good policy that won't go anywhere except to distract the public.
Also, tRump hasn't yet felt the wrath of the Pharmaceutical industry, but he's now inviting it. Gonna be fun to watch these upcoming fireworks.
His 1st term he pulled out of NAFTA, negotiated & signed by Obama. He then made insignificant changes, slapped a new name on it, USMCA, & took credit. Now he’s doing the same w/Biden’s prescription drug law which GOP fought against. This man only knows how to cheat & take credit for others work.
I can't wait to hear what cockamamie scheme he's come up with that will totally fail and/or backfire in execution because it's so poorly thought out. Cheap drugs from China? Totally dismantling research and safety standards? It's certainly not going to be market regulation or government subsidies.
I was wondering too about the possible correlation with “Totally dismantling research and safety standards”
He is definitely trying to distract from the plane and probably the tariff news!
So, I'm guessing it's going to be more difficult to get the more expensive drugs since drug companies will avoid the higher prices by only selling them in other countries? Are we still making America great again?
So regulate how much COMPANIES have to pay to purchase the medications from foreign manufacturers, but NOT how much the company can then charge consumers for the meds thereby increasing corporate profits....tracks!
Well, this policy would really 'screw over' the third world countries who have received reduced-rate pharmaceuticals for their impoverished nations. Not that Trump cares about them at all.
Well, there’s a good chance that the medication is made in China and soon to be affected by the tariffs. So 145%- 30% = the price is going up, not down.
That sounds about right. I didn’t realize he can mandate prices for other countries and re-negotiate their contracts with drug companies, but he can try whatever he wants. 😂
Eliquis (apixaban) costs about $700 for a thirty-day supply, because the patent for it is still good in the US. It’s about $100 in Canada 🇨🇦. Here’s Bernie talking about it.
The supplier won’t
explain, but it’s clear they have a legal right to do what they’re doing.
Considering that the company is within their legal right to charge what they do, I’m sure they will just disregard the executive order. I would in their place.
I get the drug through Part D, and by a deal put together by Joe Biden, I’m will only be obligated to pay $2,000/year for prescription drugs this year. Eliquis is a big part of this. From my explanations of benefits, it looks like Medicare pays most of the cost.
I haven't forgotten when he blew up a cost lowering deal by announcing, without any discussion, that seniors would all get $100 discount cards as part of the deal.
And the pharmaceutical companies said, "Fuck that" and threw the deal in the hopper.
Donald did not write this. One of his cronies did.
I can not believe the US presidency is being ran on a social media site. Might as well have AI be our president, would be a better outcome 😥
Half of my high cost prescription drugs get shipped to me, for free, from Canada. Insurance through work covers it, and they did it this way because it's WAY cheaper to get it made there. If that's removed, my plan won't cover them AT ALL if done in U.S. Thanks, asshat, now I'm screwed over.
Campaign contributions can do wonders? It looks more like he’s trying to extort money from the pharmaceutical industry to maybe not sign another useless EO. He thinks he’s going to control the worldwide pharmaceutical price by putting his little kkk signature on a worthless piece of paper!🤣🤣🤣
Transparent Bernie/AOC triangulation move, which means he FEARS @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social. He doesn't give 30 or even 2 fucks about the cost of Rx, unless he gets his cut.
Which drug company is going to donate a Trump mobile which will be transferred to his presidential library for personal use after he leaves office, and get an full exemption ?
The science illiteracy just keeps coming. Academic scientists develop drugs with pharma companies. NIH is being defunded, indirects are being cut and young scientists are considering leaving this country. Who is going to be developing any new drugs for any country?
I am going to assume that pharmaceutical companies will just lay flat on the ground and cry. Nope, they will not manufacture these drugs here any longer. Anyway most of our drugs are made overseas. So is ttump daying he will pay the difference when he buys from other countries?
With all of the pomp and ceremony of this "truth" posting, is tRump going to have the full Army Band in the oval office for the EO signing playing Hail to the Chief, or better yet, Send in the clown.

What about the tariffs?
people on medication better stock up
Trump is about to screw up another sector of the economy

Oh yeah cause you can’t.
No medicine on cargo ships either
Don't bother, it's another lie.
He always the hero or victim but never to blame.
He's also dreaming if he thinks Denmark is going to force any price controls on Novo Nordisk.
Now I am sure he will screw this up. Probably have the whole world pay US prices & he gets a commission.
Why not just medicare/medicaid for all??

Sick of his lunacy at our expense!
I killed my ex wife and buried her and some documents on my golf course in New Jersey! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This is the plan
A month ago this would have been the biggest news on the planet, now it is just background noise.
Trump doesn't give a flying fuck about any of us.
He's saying this bc he's see his polls; they're the WORST any president has ever seen.
😆 I’m sure the Qataris are receiving no benefit for his new plane.
There. I solved it.
Redhats are dumb enough to buy it.
Of course the MSM is going to take the bait.
Don’t. Stay focused.
1. That is too much work and
2. Biden did that
And no it’s not distracting me from the Qatari bribe.
Also, tRump hasn't yet felt the wrath of the Pharmaceutical industry, but he's now inviting it. Gonna be fun to watch these upcoming fireworks.
He is definitely trying to distract from the plane and probably the tariff news!
Oh and the Qatari jet too🛫
Everything he does lays blame elsewhere.

Ahh remember the days of signal gate .. so quaint ..
Everything is so simple for him...
Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tariff on pharmaceutical imports
Believe it when I see it. 🤣
Smart countries negotiate prices with tens of millions in mind under universal health care & most drugs no longer come from USA...
As for American prices... Capitalism... They charge more because they can...
The supplier won’t
explain, but it’s clear they have a legal right to do what they’re doing.

He really want that PLANE!

Biden actually signed law that reduced drug costs (not an EO, which is basically wishful thinking on paper).

Not holding my breath. It would just take Sackler dangling a fancy luxury jet over Trump’s nose for him to drop the whole thing!
Also, if they (HHS) stop making prescriptions available, technically your prices dropped 100%! Magic!
Trump is backed into a public humiliation corner
