Trump's Second Term

TrumpRx: White House Considering Trump-Branded Prescription Drug Website

Would you buy drugs from TrumpRx?

White House officials are considering launching a website that would allow Americans to purchase cheaper prescription drugs directly from pharmaceutical companies, according to a report from Bloomberg. And incredibly, officials are seriously thinking about slapping President Donald Trump’s name on the project.

The potential website would reportedly let consumers search for various drugs and be “connected to platforms that sell them,” though it’s not clear how that would save patients money. One name being floated is, predictably, TrumpRx.

Bloomberg stresses that plans for the website haven’t been finalized and “discussions are ongoing,” but the report is certainly consistent with everything we know about President Trump. He likes to slap his name on things, and he likes to take credit whenever he can. This is the guy who has been personally profiting from the presidency, with his family’s wealth rising by billions of dollars through crypto investments alone, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Sure, I'd trust him with my prescription info. Wouldn't you. And I'm sure he'd put someone with lots of experience with drugs in charge, like Cokehead Jr.

I've heard Cheech and Chong are available, and some guy named Dave who's never home.

Bleach, Relaxium, ivermectin, and pamphlets on how to maintain abstinence, cure autism, and organize measles parties.

And war with Venezuela if, trump 'posted,' they don't "accept all of the prisoners, and people from mental institutions." (Presumably, meaning all the Venezuelans in US jails and mental institutions, but who knows? This is an administration that communicates via social media posts on Truth Social.)

Also, would it be both wars at the same time? One after the other? I guess we'll find out.

Panama, Canada, Greenland, now also Afghanistan and Venezuela.

There are indications that he confuses the term "asylum", as in "political asylum", with the term as used in "mental asylum". It's entirely possible that some of the people he wants to deport are political refugees.
 
I do not hate the US (parts of it are excellent), or those who sail in her, that would be ridiculous, just as generalising about Europeans would be ridiculous. There is an awful lot to admire about the US, but some of what i admire the most (such as your scientific advances) is under attack now, from within. That would be bad enough on its own, but you are also one of the world's superpowers, and the only one I have trusted thus far. Now i don't.

What you do affects the rest of the world far, far more than what any of the rest of us do. That is never ideal, but you have been a reasonably reliable counterwieght, and have provided some balance in the world. You seem to be about to stop doing that, and in some ways, you already have. This is a deeply scary development. Criticising this is not the same as criticising everything about the US, far from it. But you (and not you personally, of course not) elected Trump, we had no say in it, but it has an impact on all of us. There are some despicable rulers in Europe as well, but none of them come even close to having the kind of power you have.
 
In my experience, there are Americans who underestimate, or even outright deny, the influence that America has on the rest of the world. I've provoked actual anger by calling it "cultural imperialism" but it really is an accurate description of how American media dominates the bandwidth in all English-speaking countries, and most non-English speaking ones. The biggest and most productive movie industry in the world is referred to by modifying the name of the American movie industry (Bollywood). That fact alone should tell you how influential America is. Because those of us in other countries see far more from America than America ever sees from us, influence in all domains - including the political - flows in just one direction.

Fortunately that influence doesn't extend into politics. Otherwise Peter Dutton would now be PM and working on gerrymandering every electorate in the country (probably change the Senate voting system too).

I swear he means asylum seekers. He somehow got it in his thick head that means insane people who come seeking nicer mental asylums and nobody in his retinue dares correct him. Not joking.

Well put. I agree. Amongst people I know the influence of the US has diminished considerably. Many (like us) had planned to visit the US sometime soon. Most have changed their plans.

He's been repeating it for months, claiming several countries have emptied their "lunatic asylums" and deliberately sending the inmates, especially the criminal ones, to the USA.
And of course, none of his minders or his sycophants will ever correct him because as with the cats'n'dogs-eating immigrants, the narrative is much too useful to be discarded.
 
Unfortunately, in the UK the political influence does extend to politics as can be seen from the Yaxley-Lennon/Farage axis. US money flows freely their way. The US is funding many hate movements in the UK - fulsomely - it's poisoning political discourse there.

I have good friends in the USA, mostly on the coasts, but I have one very dear elderly friend in a flyover state. Olathe, KS. She's nearly 80 and a lifelong liberal. Life is very hard for her right now. I really miss the USA and my dear friends there.
I deeply love the friends I have there, they're finding it hard to stay there - but harder to leave.

It does extend into politics otherwise Peter Dutton wouldn't have been pushing the Trump-adjacent agenda in the first place.

It's so staggering even Putin will be blinking in astonishment at the audacity.

The idea that the infrastructure you build to support your invasion of someone else's country should rightly still belong to you and you should be let back in to use it is eye-popping.

On the other hand, any Brits whose hopes of retiring to Spain or Portugal were dashed by Brexit might take a look along the Torres Vedras fortifications left over from the Peninsular War. Find a nice spot and build your dream home. Planning permission senor? No, I think you'll find the Duke of Wellington built all this so it's basically ours.

Has he thought of the forces and logistics he would have to commit to defend the base?

I'm far from being that optimistic. In the countries whose politics I know well (France, Switzerland, Italy, …), too many people approve of some of Trump's policies (immigration, sending the army in some cities to fight crime - Marseille in France for example), are blinded by his alleged business acumen, etc.
Of course, it is expected from politicians on the far right (Le Pen et all in France, some political parties in Switzerland like UDC.), but too many ordinary people buy it too, in part because people being people everywhere, populist ideas will have traction, and in good part because they only get the news through media channels that cannot be called unbiased, and heavily edited as well as poorly translated …
