Trump is going to make Ozempic more expensive for Americans because Denmark won’t give him Greenland. (I can’t believe I just typed that sentence out.)

Of All the petulant, grandstanding, man-baby tantrums... this one is up there. At least until he claims the Panama canal, because "Americans Built It!"
Ignoring the fact that most of the labourers came from Barbados, Martinique, and Guadeloupe...
Mehdi, when was the last time the US waged economic warfare against allies? I think the answer is never. This is telling us something very important. Dig it out.
Selfish bastard! President Biden just got BCBS and Ozembic's manufacturer to lower the price to a reasonable $25/pen. I can not deal with possibly paying hundreds of dollars for one pen.
Can Donald Trump himself be considered torture, or an act of cruelty, and thereby a walking public threat? Trump's very existence is pure cruelty and mental torture for the entire world.
China, followed by every other country that has tariffs imposed on it could easily afford to instigate it a full trade embargo against all US imports & exports
It would only affect a small percentage of their international trade
It would completely & very quickly destroy the US economy
Trump has nothing to lose, all of his money is owed to third parties. He is going to crash the United States. Musk has to see losses to be deterred. Stop buying his shitty product and until they steal the public purse and Musk, et al, can no longer suckle at that tap!
Putting tariffs unreasonable Americas allies will create a gap which China will gladly fill by opening up its market even more and signing alliances with Europe, Canada, Mexico and others.
Trump is a disaster!
He has no investment in an appetite suppressant far as anyone knows, it's his way of "getting back" at Denmark for not leeching off his obese ass and selling Greenland.
Everything out of his mouth is 💩 he's a compulsive liar he can't help himself he thinks he looks intelligent but you no he's not he's a lady man no genitals at all anatomical hung like a doll like his son's 😅
...isn't that the principle the US economy is built upon, free unrestricted enterprise?
One reason why Ozempic and other medications might be more expensive than elsewhere is that the US market is buying them in very large quantities which led to shortages in other countries.
I'm aware. It's called global gangsterism where Putin takes over all of Europe after Ukraine is destroyed & Elona-prez & VP-Trump steals N. America, Mexico, Latin America, Canada etc. Trump's campaign promises "drill baby drill!" Climate denier corps will destroy our earth!
Dear World, if your country has resources, the US Oligarghs want, and you're small, without a large military, sparsely populated, the United States plans to Annex you. Prepare accordingly how ever that may be. Decide now if you need China to protect you or the US to own you. The end.
How many times over the course of the next four years do you think you'll type something regarding the orange felon and then write "I can't believe I just typed that sentence" ? My guess is it'll be in the thousands.
But i sure hope you have empathy for the millions of NON Maga folks who NEED this medication to control their blood sugar/weight. I'm on wegovy cuz I have cushings disorder and it was the ONLY thing after fighting for 10 years to lose weight and get my insulin under control that did ANYTHING to help
Oh absolutely. I feel sorry for each and every American who read his policies, judged his character, realised what a fuck up he is, didn’t vote for him and yet has to live under his “rule”. I genuinely am sorry, and I wish y’all a very serious all the best.
I have total empathy for those who need this drug.
crass comment yes, but it was directed at maga who could care less about you or other non-maga Americans...that's how they roll.
Tbh ild rather off myself before ever going back to how sick amd miserable I was before I got on wegovy. My doc said the other option of metformin would mean ild have to choose between metformin and my anti Anxiety meds amd she isn't even sure it would work
We need to do everything to stop trump
I'm so sorry...that sounds terrible.
I'd love to help but he's talking about annexing my country....that's where my anger is coming from
I hope he dies soon.
Before wegovy, I was losing weight at the rate of 0.2-0.4 pounds a week now I'm at a normal rate of 1.2-2.1 pounds a week and my blood sugar is finally stable after decades of severe hypoglycemia
But getting my blood sugar under control has been a huge blessing. No more blood sugar migraines and fatigue has helped me in every aspect of my life so far. 🩷
It's been a wonderful tool to help my progress it's not a magic pill tho you still have to exercise&eat well. I work out 3-4 days a week (my job is also very active) & work with a nutritionist and watch my calories and what I eat.
Since Felon Of The United States Donald Trump just rescinded Biden's low drug cost, be ready to have the cost of your medications go up by as much as 4,200% and insurance/Medicare/Medicaid may only cover a small amount of those costs. Hope your life doesn't depend on medications.
This is just normal for him. What I can't believe is that Americans voted for him. Actually I can believe that too, because we all know what Americans are like. So I guess that there isn't really anything unbelievable at all.
On an unrelated note we need to boycott @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social on MSNBC. I don't always agree with Scott Galloway sometimes he's a little pro Israel but when he had a discussion on wealth and equality it was a great discussion & at the end he called Trump a rapist. (Cont)
Mika then try to walk it back saying nope he was convicted of sexual abuse I mean please man. It erased the whole beauty of what Scott Galloway was talking about. They need to go Mehdi. I can understand not being as aggressive but my God. It's not like they said it the guest did that's not like ABC
Somewhere between 6 & 7% of Denmark's trade is with the US, and no matter what the incoterms, the importer will end up paying for tariffs anyway. I'd be more concerned about the shit they're not saying out loud and working on behind closed doors.
Novo Holdings has scheduled a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Bloomington, Ind. plant for this or next month. I’m privy to this info b/c my high schooler’s marching band is slated to perform. #PantherRegiment
It's been said by others but Camacho, for all of his flaws...
1--- values that Joe may be smarter than him,
2--- once presented with evidence of something (that plants need water) is immediately willing to own up to his mistake and grant a pardon.
But you (the media) haven't done anything to hold him accountable, actually enable him. You've already inserted yourself into the story if you don't like what you have to report. Do you job be a journalist not a news presenter.
Can we all (all the normal people) agree that he is a complete idiot and completely unsuitable and unqualified for office. Ironically he could do with a bit of that medicine
I wish people running for such high offices had continuing education requirements. Not that he would benefit, but perhaps some in Congress whose only path is kissing the ring and supporting dumb ideas like purchasing Greenland. Education should never stop.
Perhaps every other country in the world puts tariffs on everything from the US until they get rid of the mentally incompetent leader? And I'll just buy more Lego and love my Mazda even more knowing it isn't an American car.
Or we just find somewhere else to import things from that we don't have. Or we do without some of those things until the crazy stops. I'm only one person but I can stop intentionally buying American products for the most part.
Yes, and libs have worked pretty hard to find other markets for trade. The kicker is so much of our exports are oil/gas, and electricity that can't be sold to countries farther away. Too, the auto industry, mining, wood product production - lots of jobs at stake.
It is all going to have disastrous results regardless of what we do. I'm just against rewarding bad behaviour but I can do that because I'm not elected.
just great-The GLP1s are the #1 most annoying RX to write ever. I do not disagree about the many benefits- but the cost, shortages, insurance formulary changes, phone calls, dose titrations, out of control diabetics due to shortage&formulary changes + time suck when time is already limited...OVER IT
Surely BlueSky is the perfect platform for a discussion of whether Lego is only an adjective and therefore cannot be a zero plural? But we can all agree that Greenland, as a Danish territory, must be a Legoland.
Oh my god all those folks taking Ozempic and voted for dumpy Trump won’t be able to afford their get quick thin drug cuz those poor folks won’t have the money! Who they going to blame then? They voted for this crap
The only thing that is going to be more painful than trump 2.0 is you clowns losing your shit every time he says something stupid. He loves the attention and you give it to him every single time.
Considering Ozempic is terrible for people, side effect wise, Resident Dump might have accidently done something that helps Americans.
Let the rich suffer, f 'em. But not being able to con and abuse the regular pwooke? Good.
Eating a healthy diet still loses weight.
You’re wrong. Ozempic has saved my life as other insulin products didn’t work. Posts like yours that make blanket stmts involving weight bias are damaging to others. Diabetes can & does cause weight gain. Any product can have side effects. I & others like me will suffer from Trump’s games!
Well, I can’t read it because of the paywall, but based on what I’ve seen over the past four years of New York Times coverage of Trump, am I on the right track to say they have been in this article defending him?
No you’re not. For all their faults we still need the Times and their baseline commitment to facts. And when they screw up and publish an ill-advised oped by some Trump apologist, at least it’s clearly marked as “opinion”
Yep it's only getting worse. I know his speeches are always batshit, but there's nothing even tangible in them to say "OK, maybe, maybe he has a point there". There's nothing, it's just batshit

Rename the Atlantic while we are at it! To Trumplantic.
Nothing needs to make sense anymore!
God dang.
No ammednments at all
Just a 37% tax rate
America has a long history of taking whatever they want by force.
to the US, effective immediately.
It would only affect a small percentage of their international trade
It would completely & very quickly destroy the US economy
For the rich people at least 🥲
Trump is a disaster!
This is only one of the reasons why Canada wants nothing to do it.
It’s like living over a meth lab.

Basically, the USA gets a taste of their own medicine once again.
We are living in the DUMBEST times
Morally. Bankrupt.
Attacking our allies? WTF kind of foreign policy is that. The fucker isn't even in the Oval yet. FFS 🤡🖕
Trump argued that Greenland was a national security issue, given the paths charted by Russian & Chinese ships.
Really? If so read 👇. Hmm🧐 🤔
To say it was about national security was a blatant manipulation of the truth.
* Expect.
In all seriousness though, what an absolutely bizarre state of affairs.
Lego - plural
A box full of Lego bricks is a box full of Lego
WITHOUT THE S

These factors alone would make him a better 47.
And, Oh! There is more to come.
Long Live #Palestine Long Live Gaza ! Stop ISRAELIS Mass Murdering Children now!!!!!!

Thank you,

Meanwhile, people die in the streets from lack of housing food and healthcare.
Reconsider your priorities.
All hail Lord Lardazz!
When does your new show on MSNBC start?
ditto for ‘vinyl’
But, his opponent wasn't perfect so, here we are.
Legos!!!!!!!!!!
I’m cancelling my subscription.
