The Democrats in the House are trying to undo my big win Travel Ban Bill, which successfully keeps very bad and dangerous people out of our great Country. Passed along party lines. Hopefully, will be DEAD in the Senate! The Dems have gone Stone Cold Left - Venezuela on steroids!

It's Trump and Trumpublicans trying to re-write history again:

“The middlemen are making a fortune and pharmacy benefit managers and people are just bilking Medicare patients with these high drug prices."

Conveniently ignoring the fact that it was a Republican law that prevented Medicare from negotiating for better prices.

Since the enactment of Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act in 2003, only insurance companies administering Medicare prescription drug program, not Medicare, have the legal right to negotiate drug prices directly from drug manufacturers. The Medicare Prescription Drug Act expressly prohibited Medicare from negotiating bulk prescription drug prices.[20] The "donut hole" provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was an attempt to correct the issue.[21]

Yesterday I signed four measures that will massively reduce the prices of prescription drugs, in many cases by more than 50%. Nothing like this has ever been done before because Big Pharma, with its vast power, would not let it happen. Expensive Insulin went from big dollars.....

...to virtual pennies. Epi-pens went from their incredibly high, jacked up prices, to lower than their original give away bargains. Biggest price reductions in history, by far! Nothing like this has ever for our citizens, especially our Seniors. REMEMBER YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT!
 
How come when Democrats proposed the exact same idea Republicans called this “socialism?”
 
He’s been saying that he’s reduced the price of medications since day one, and trots it out every now and then. I haven’t seen any evidence for this or against this, but this Trump so pardon my cynicism.

"... REMEMBER YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT! ...."

He should be careful what he asks for....
 
And the fact that it is a continuous line - as if what he said previously had any connection to the next thing he said.
 
Apparently, a hurricane is about to hit Texas. I hope it won't cause much damage. If it does, the good people of Texas cannot be sure that the aftermath is handled by someone competent, but they can be sure the person in charge will score highly in the most important prerequisite, loyalty to Great Leader.

No, this is just that exec order he bragged about for the new Healthcare plan to replace obamacare: buy drugs from canada
 
I imagine Trump now basking in his ability to name things. Exiting the interview: "Door. Secret Service Agent. Car. Grass. Marine. Steps. Helicopter. Seat. Window."

96% Approval Rating in the Republican Party. Thank you!

So Obama and his team of lowlifes spied on my campaign, and got caught - Open and shut case! More papers released today which are devastating to them. Will they ever pay the price? The political Crime of the Century!

Will we ever see those papers? Or any of the other 'evidence' you keep claiming exists?

Damn, I hate that man. I despair to think this country has sunk so low as to actually elect that POS president. Shame on anyone who voted for him.

Assumes that Canada has drugs they are willing to sell to the USA. Seems to be poor policy to rely on another country for crucial drugs.

"Door! Suit man! Go-car! Grassy! Gun man! Uppies! Chop-chopper! Sit-sit! Looky!" then someone hands him a plastic baggie of Cheerios to keep him quiet for the ride.
