Literally trying to take America back 120 years where we had no social safety nets, 3 people owned 90% of the wealth, everyone was poor, no unions, few rights, segregation, Jim Crow, and just one injustice after another.
Oh, America had unions back then. Just the state militias and the Pinkertons were busy slaughtering the union brothers and sisters at the behest of the gilded class.
I get one of my prescriptions from Canada. :( I get a 3-month supply for $100, which is a far sight cheaper than in the US, where they charge ~$400 for a 30-DAY supply.
Does he have any idea how many people will die if they can’t afford their drugs from Sanofi, Novartis, Roche, AZ…Kinda brilliant in a Machiavellian sorta way. Kill off the poor and infirm and you don’t have to build concentration camps to do it. Just mass graves. God I hate him.
Chaos is their weapon of choice. If our reaction is fear then they win. If we stand together then we can beat this. They are not the brightest people. They lack experience, and are easy to trigger. They are betting heavily on people doing nothing. Don't sit this one out.
This is out of control, it must stop!!! He's destroying the economy, peoples lives. He wants slaves and a military draft, obedience, conformity. All blue states need to talk and stop giving federal money to this POS. He's keeping it
I just got a notice from Washington state DSHS that was very upsetting. It's too complicated to go into but I'm getting exhausted. My uncle has a place in Mexico. I may have to go there just so I can get my very expensive medications.
I know plenty of people, including myself, who will die if the cost of medication is raised. Other than shooting people this is the fastest way to kill them. My antidepressants prevent me from becoming suicidal. My elderly parents live because they have blood pressure medications.
Trump's goal is to make Americans suffer and to make people around the world suffer. Apart from greed, his only motive is spite. But, sure, let's let him do whatever he wants.
Yeah, I'm not so sure pharmaceuticals will like velveeta voldemort increasing their prices, but not their profits. Add to that how this will affect his supporters, er, I mean the red hats.
Yep, as if meds aren't expensive enough in the USA; as a favor to pharma cos. the felon's already given away the government's ability to negotiate drug prices and now he'll add tariffs, thanks!
When he says "Make America Great Again" he talks about America like a brand. He doesn't give a shit about the American people or the American ideals. And as a result of that, he's trashing America's brand value. Because America isn't about KPIs.
Honestly I hope Canada sticks it to us here in the U.S. A lot of people need a wake up call here. We live in a global economy. We need to value our partnerships, allies and neighbors. We need to collectively learn a lesson that pushes the Trumpers back under the rocks from which they came.
Seems to me that he is on the revenge tour. He doesn’t give a shit about making anything better, he wants to destroy anyone and everything who he thinks has wronged him
1870. He's describing the Gilded Age. Robber Barons and Tycoons who controlled most of the largest industries in the country. Rockefeller. Vanderbilt. A working class just above poverty for a generation, maybe more. Excess for a select few and an absolute grind for the vast majority.
All the geniuses who voted Trump because they were silly enough to believe he was going to “lower prices”…what are they thinking at this moment? Or are they checked out like usual?
@mcuban.bsky.social @costplusdrugs.com
Thoughts? You guys need to advertise everywhere! You save my husband $350/mo on his heart med. This is going to get insane!!!
The people who voted for Combover Caligula don't give a rats ass. They just want him to hurt the gays, the lesbians, the trans, people of any other colour than white.
Glad I am an Australian. Universal healthcare, a govt Pharmaceutical Benefits scheme, social security. Well I guess the US gets a choice between dead or fucked. Maybe your revolution wasn't such a brilliant idea.
When he says “we were at our richest”, he’s talking about the time of the “robber barons”!! They were at their richest at the expense of everyone else!
Oooooohhhh. We were at our richest and most powerful from 1870 to 1913. What a great plan!
Ohio, your 19th century jobs churning butter and making anvils are gone and you’ve had 30 years to recover. At what point does Midwest economic blight become their own fault?
Feck. That’s just immoral!
There’s a lot not right about the NHS over here, but prescription charges in England are fixed at £9.90 per medication, and free if you’re in receipt of particular social security benefits; elderly; under 18, or have a chronic medical condition.
That's awesome! It's insane that the same drugs, that cost maybe a dollar to make, after the few million to develop, can be priced so differently. And, it's not like you have higher taxes to cover it (according to the OECD, your average tax burden is similar but lower).
Our NHS is the jewel in our crown. Its struggling a lot right now due to government cuts. Tory governments generally hate the idea of publicly funded healthcare & the last one undermined it dreadfully. We might wait longer for surgery than you guys but no one dies b/c they can’t afford insulin etc
Don’t assume all boomers go along with this right wing hatefulness . Generalizations are inaccurate and unfair. I’m a boomer, and I didn’t vote for Trump. As soon as he started running in 2015 I knew he was a scapegoater and would blame problems on immigrants.
To be fair, a portion of boomers don’t do internet, or smartphones and they’re loyal Fox News viewers who think they live in an age when media actually told the truth.
He really has reached a quite remarkable level of stupidity. It has to be almost scientifically impossible for someone with a human sized brain to be this stupid.
Oh, cruelty is undoubtedly a major factor but he's still talking about tariffs without showing any sign whatsoever of even vaguely understanding what they do and the consequences of them.
I mean he’s shutting down our entire health system and putting it in the hands of someone with a literal worm on his brain, so why not make it harder for Americans to get their medicine?
No one seems to perceive that this is it: what you paid all the tithes for, to give up your God given rights under the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA to this cherub? Thank you @medowlen78.bsky.social for existing and taking the time to post this vivid image of what CIC DJT plans actually look like.🐝🌟🦁✝️🧲
RFK denies the people vaccines and new drugs. Trump makes the price of existing drugs unaffordable. Have Trump and Musk decided they get richer if they substantially reduce the US population?
My 95 year old mom recently passed, she was buying Eliquis from INDIA to save a couple hundred dollars a month. Wouldn't be able to now. BTW, it's one drug Biden negotiated to be cut in price. Fuckhead will do away with that too. Gotta help Big Pharma! They're really struggling. 😡
He already got rid of the Biden drug price cuts on day 1. Day 1 drug prices went up for people on Medicare and Medicaid Then he complains Medicare and Medicaid costs too much. Well he just made it worse by his rollback to higher prices. Moron.
My husband's Epilepsy meds aren't available in Generic. Our Marketplace Insurance paid just over $52K last year, hoping they don't create limits where we have to come out of pocket. Because DAMN.
You know... When you've lost everything, and all you have left to eat is the billionaires... You have to come by, and not be picky. Think about it like it's billionaire Wagyu.
Disagree. His inability to grasp the concept of tariffs is straight up stupidity. I will not give him credit he has not earned. That's like saying "oh, he's playing 3D chess" or whatever b.s. claim his lackeys were making. No.
That’s ok. I believe he is intentional in that someone is giving him bad advice. And when someone contributes $25m to get you elected, and keep you out of prison, you abide. His stupidity is undeniable. No credit is given.
Medication isn’t taxed in the US. Even a 10% tax would put most or all medications out of reach from the people who need them because you can bet that insurance companies, Medicare, and Medicaid aren’t going to pay that
Hahaha,hahaha, hahaha,I told you all that I was going to eat popcorn and laugh, because that is what we should do when we are watching a clown show 😆 🤣 😂 🤣 😂
I'm sure the public will be happy to pay 25% more for their drugs. Canada will have to shut the spigot Canadian drugs going to America. The run on Canadian drugs would leave Canadians finding empty shelves.
How many of Trump's billionaire buddies are in the pharmaceutical business? Who stands to make money by this? We already spend more on pharma here than most other places in the world. He's so out of touch with real people.
No the actions of a traitor, tyrant, dismantling the government and performing an insurrection before our eyes. I think now is the time for blue states maybe purple to form a coalition to get him out of there ASAP.
Trump ordered the tariff per the the request of US Big Pharma; them boys will be sending Trump the Grifter Major Campaign Donations way up in the Billions, folks Trump is playing us like a fiddle: guess who’s paying for the big tariffs up-charge: US Taxpayers!! Now you tell me is this Trump First??
He's trying to murder millions of people. To what end? My husband already has to use a Canadian online pharmacy to purchase blood thinner for his heart condition because buying it in U.S. is TEN TIMES HIGHER than the Canadian pharmacy. Now the CA online pharmacy prices will increase. Asshole.
Almost all pharmaceutical chemical ingredients are imported from China.
Big Pharma is itching for an excuse to raise prices above the additional 10% tariffs.
This is a long term Trump idea, like decades long term. In all that time he has never once understood what they really are. He's always been completely convinced they are paid by the foreign exporter. He's always been bad at business.
We have been screaming that fact for years now, but more than half the voters believe his phony made for tv unreality show instead.Despite book after book telling the truth.
It is infuriating. Maybe when their loved ones die b/c they can't afford medicine.
The gilded age he refers to 1870 - 1900 when American “was richest” had high tariffs to protect industry, the rich Robber Barons cleaned up and the rest of the US sank into poverty.
Wait, you think he actually believes that and doesn't just say it as an excuse? That's interesting. I think he knows exactly what he's doing and the point of all of these policies is to ruin America...
True but I don't think you have to be bright, you just let people in the background tell you how to cause that damage. And that's why the Project 2025 people are around...
Exactly. That's why I say trump actually does know the consequences of certain policies. He's not totally clueless and he's not trying to help - I'm not sure why some people on our side frame it that way.
He really believes he can use the US "arsenal of freedom" to bully protection money out of everyone around him. Mafia protection money racket, which is why we cant ever give in,not one time. Or they come back, changing terms, more money, more theft
You know I shouldn’t be surprised because he did this to his own nephew. OK he’s a pig. He should be impeached
What the hell should be impeached immediately and every fucking Republican that is enabling this wanna be dictator by voting for the lap dog crooks for this shit here especially the
Republicans that are in purple districts, I will work until my fingers fall off to make sure you lose your seat. You know what’s going on you know what’s happening is not right you are selling this country out and your constituents by lying to them. OK I don’t know you go home and look
At your children and your wife that you sell out your country a country that has afforded you so much you’re a disgrace just remember when they come for us. You didn’t say nothing OK but they will come for you to eventually in a dictatorship.
This nothing but a fucking money grab for the pharmaceutical lobbyist who have probably paid him off. This guy is the most despicable motherfucker to ever walk the face of the of the earth. oh my God, this means people will die because the prices will go up on medicine and some people won’t be
Able to afford their medication because prices will rise. Oh my God this in me I don’t know what I would do if I see a motherfucker walking around with a mega hat on I’m serious!
The US pharmaceutical industry uses global manufacturing to develop new life saving drugs, and the loss of WHO will only make EU stronger - oh and Canada and Mexico will benefit significantly. The US will lose.

USA already pays more for drugs than most everywhere.
Trump wants people to be unable to afford higher cost medications.
Big Pharma loves Trump. They’ll be sure to reward him with “favors”.

Too late.
Anyone want to do a deep dive into what was going on then?
I feel sorry for those who didn’t vote for this.
To everyone who did, I don’t want to hear your bitching and moaning about high prices. You believed his lies. You get what you voted for.
Ohio, your 19th century jobs churning butter and making anvils are gone and you’ve had 30 years to recover. At what point does Midwest economic blight become their own fault?

Americans are going to be broke by the time 4 years are up.
He means us.
and... blech!
Somebody on the golf course told him that bit about tariffs from *130 years ago* and now Trump figures he’s Neo at the climax of the first Matrix.
Also left out the Great Depression.
Let's see how this goes over with the maga fucks.
Sorry about your mom .
Oh well, trump's "healthcare plan" is stay healthy or die.
But what about next month?
Big Pharma is itching for an excuse to raise prices above the additional 10% tariffs.
