Trump's Second Term

[welshdean]

trending (soon): "fat shot drug"

Trump: "A friend of mine who is a businessman. Very very very top guy. Most of you would've heard of him. Highly neurotic. Brilliant businessman. Seriously overweight. And he takes the fat shot drug."

His name is Donald methinks.

He said the same thing in 2020, even signed an executive order for "Most Favored Nation" pricing.
It went nowhere.
Pharma sued, prices stayed high.

I'm surprised that I have no recollection of that. Is there any reason to think his current sharpie emits stronger magic than his 2020 version did?

According to an earlier reference in the thread...

There is one difference between the situation back then and now... Biden signed the Inflation Reduction act, which had a provision that allowed Medicaid to negotiate certain prices. (It would be ironic if Trump actually tried to use a biden-era law to accomplish his "drug price reduction".)

Shhh... That's the quiet part they never say out loud.

It's interesting to see how much Trump and the GOP are suddenly in favour of socialism and a state controlled economy.

And, as even a chimp could predict, the market loves the news.

DJIA +1,041.23 (+2.52%) today at this time.

Even though it's a positive for the economy, I hate the fact that it give The POSOTUS a Win, if only temporarily. Of course, he's going to tout it like he saved the world, not just the U.S.

When his cronies have taken their profit he will do something else to crash the Dow so they can do it again.

Trump to cut drug prices!

Why does this remind me of Trump's plan to "fix" hollywood by putting tariffs on foreign movies.

Vague statement with no real details about how he'll "accomplish" his goal. Observers can't really picture how he'll do things.

He doesn't care. MAGA crowd will cheer it and say he's the best President ever.

When the prices don't change it will all be blamed on Biden and Obama.

Just like they are cheering his $400 million Bribe from Qatar and saying the Democrats are traitors if they don't approve.

"I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer."

You can't seriously expect me to turn down a bribe as big as this one. I'm offended you even asked.

Finaily, now I know what all those equalizer thingies were doing to my sound systems all these decades, equalizing.

If only they'd had a word for it then..

Are they?

REPORTER: Why are you creating an expedited path into the country for Afrikaners but not others? TRUMP: Because they're being killed. And we don't want to see people be killed ... it's a genocide that's taking place. Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.

What was the name of that 80's tv show with Edward Woodward? Or those three films with Denzel in?

Tariff agreement reached with China for 90 days.
Both countries have agreed to cut by 115%.
US tariffs on Chinese imports will fall to 30%, while Chinese tariffs on US goods will fall to 10%.

And, as even a chimp could predict, the market loves the news.
DJIA +1,041.23 (+2.52%) today at this time.

I think I have mentioned this before... but it always amazes me how... short-sighted stock market investors are.
- The deal is only for 90 days, so much uncertainty exists
- There are still significant tariffs in place
- The US is till run by a convicted felon who is such a poor businessman that he bankrupted multiple casinos

Yet they use the excuse of "he's hurting us less than he was yesterday" as a reason for a stock market rally.

He made them sit behind MAGA hats while they top each other with praise for his greatness.
Most of the men are wearing red ties identical to his.

You never had it so good!

Drugs are down by 59%, just before RFK Jr replaces them with squat thrusts and condensed gibbon fart.

"I think what happens with the plane is that we're very disappointed that it's taking Boeing so long to build a new Air Force One"

It's a ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ Being you cheese brained ◊◊◊◊.

The VC-25A is quite different from the 747-x00 that ordinary customers get when they order a luxury personal jet. Basically, Boeing just gives you an empty 747 airframe that you have customized by a different company (although sometimes in collaboration with Boeing). A VC-25A requires special tooling that is only for that airframe and special techniques that not everyone at Boeing is always fully trained on.

He's probably talking about himself shooting condiment cups of McDonalds grill runoff.
