@cherokeepatti True. They are consumed with hate, and will oppose literally anything he does, no matter how much it benefits everyone, including them.

@AbbeyRhode The ones who would lose are people who work for pharmaceutical company and the pharmacies. But there are so many who don’t have those type of jobs complaining about it. Oh and almost forgot, doctors, who get kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies for writing a certain amount of prescriptions for their drugs, and advertising makes big money for all kinds of media. Imagine how much they are spending annually on those two things alone?

@KingofBones1 what is realistic

@Khenpal1 what is realistic is Trump's going to make a whole lot of promises and end up supporting the corporate world

Reduce drug prices 1400% then the pharmacy would owe the people money.
Just like he wasn't going to mess with social security, Medicare, Medicaid, chips, snap, he fired far too many of their staffs.
Where is the $5,000 for each American citizen from all the money the government is suppose to save from the firing of all those federal employees. Oh I know golf trips and a parade for him.

@Carla He’ll pay in tRUMP Bucks!
Note to his brainless MAGA cult members: do NOT try this in real life. While he actually did peddle them and claim that they would be accepted anywhere just as official US currency, if you try to spend them you WILL be arrested. They’re just another of his countless cons.

That he needs learn simple arithmetic?
If he really said that, and if he meant it literally rather than merely exaggerating for effect, it would not be the first time he has displayed not understanding percentages. Which would be curiously naive for a property-speculator!
(If you reduce a selling price by 100%, the goods become free. Reducing by >100% means the seller pays the customer to take the goods away...)

@Northwest Hhe really did! A supposed businessman too. Trying to reduce what the taxpayers pay for medicines supplied via the State system is fine, but he seemed very unsure of basic money sums and how percentages work. I gained the impression he does not really know the figures.
Yet all the while he tries to claim personal credit for it? Was the work done by him or by ministers and civil-servants who are experts in that field?
Then I lost the thread completely when he drifted away to insulting someone personally, which is not fair or statesmanlike, rather than constructively criticising that person's official actions, which is fair if they were mistaken.

Majority of the pharmacy comes from Asia. While their manufacturing cost would be as low as $0.49 for a strip of 10 meds. They sell it to American companies which import these meds @ around say $20 a strip. It makes it 4000% so yes, it's possible but only if Trump brings back drug manufacturing industry to US or shifts that to some more friendly nation in Asia like Phillipines.
@DanielsASJ there's a difference between not doing the math for every case personally and saying something entirely different from what he meant. Wasn't one of the reasons he became popular that he always said exactly what he meant?
DanielsASJ · 36-40, M
@NerdyPotato If you wanna pull someone's leg then you can find a hundred mistakes. Don't you know what he was trying to convey?
@DanielsASJ no... His statement sounded like "I can do 20x better than the 80% reduction by democrats, so I'll just multiply that percentage".

@Nitedoc math doesn't care about what you think. This is how percentages work. 🤷

@NerdyPotato No it isn't!

Like most things he says, the ravings of a man suffering from dementia. He knows Biden accomplished something amazing and feels he has to gaslight everyone that he is a better negotiator. I would love to see almost any drop,withoutc screwing the world out of the development of new, innovative medications b

if he cut them 100% it would make them free - if they are reduced 1400% then somebody is going to have to pay you for taking them...
where's that money coming from?
oh and how is it funded? Europe has to pay more for drugs or they won't be able to sell cars in the US....
hmmmm

I certainly hope it happens.
@onewithshoes can you explain to me what that means then? Surely you wouldn't support something you don't understand.

Reducing the cost of medicine is good for people regardless of who is doing it.

@ToLivePeacefully absolutely! But beyond 100%? Can you explain how that would work?

@NerdyPotato @KunsanVeteran
I have no comments or clue on what he said.
I just said its good if the process go down, that's all.

He can only talk in hyperbole and exaggerated superlatives because he has no grasp of the fundamentals, the details, the nuances associated with anything. It's all broad strokes of inflated numbers or importance, because the subtle workings of any system is lost on TFG.
Not only is he addled by early onset of dementia, he lacks the discipline to do any homework in order to know what the real issues are or how anything works.

@KunsanVeteran personally, it is all a smokescreen! Do not look past the take over of education. The radicals are driving the movement to control all education, who will teach and what! They want to control the minds of the citizens. That is how dictators have always worked. Those who control the educational system control the citizens, this has recurred throughout history

Was this "promise" raised before or after the Epstein philes, er, files scandal?
@HoeBag in the middle of it, on July 22nd.
