He can't keep getting away with it. Trump must be stopped. The man has no right to stop price gouging of prescription drug prices in the US, it's nothing like when I supported Biden for going after the price gouging caused by Biden revoking leases for oil drilling, this only proves trump is a fascist Nazi.
Oh, I'm trans btw
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/12/trump-drug-pricing-order-most-favored-nation.html Here is the EO:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/05/delivering-most-favored-nation-prescription-drug-pricing-to-american-patients/ Trump signs order aiming to cut some U.S. drug prices to match lower ones abroad
President Donald Trump on Monday revived a controversial policy that aims to slash drug costs by tying the prices of some medicine in the U.S. to the significantly lower ones abroad.
Trump signed an executive order including several different actions to renew that effort, known as the “most favored nation” policy. He did not refer to specific nations, but signaled that he would target other developed countries because “there are some countries that need some additional help, and that’s fine.”
“Basically, what we’re doing is equalizing,” Trump said during a press event on Monday. “We are going to pay the lowest price there is in the world. We will get whoever is paying the lowest price, that’s the price that we’re going to get.”
White House officials did not disclose which medications the order will apply to, but said it will impact the commercial market as well as Medicare and Medicaid. They said Monday’s announcement will be broader than a similar policy that Trump tried to push during his first term, which only applied to Medicare Part B drugs.
Officials added that the administration will have a particular focus on drugs that have the “largest disparities and largest expenditures,” which could include popular weight loss and diabetes treatments called GLP-1 drugs.

>>1405418 I'd love to see this happen. Unfortunately I have 0 faith Trump is actually going to commit to it, or at least not immediately falter the moment they start fighting tooth and nail in the courts.

>>1405423 How did you feel about Biden capping insulin prices?

>>1405424 The fact that biden didn't cap all drug prices and focused only on eleven (11) overpriced drugs out of thousands should tell you all you need to know. The funny thing is conservatives still think Biden was a commie and not a corporate tool.

>>1405427 Of course I want drugs to be cheaper. We both know that isn't going to happen, and if it somehow does there will be unintended consequences like more people being thrown off health insurance and more procedures not being covered. Trump is saying to the Pharma industry "It would be a real shame if your share price went down, now tell your lobbyists to give me more money/political influence" like he's playing with mafia tactics.

>>1405418 If Trump writing another useless EO in a vacuum would actually fix drug prices, then the useless EO he wrote in 2020 to do this would have stuck.
This'll get knocked down again, because Trump keeps ignoring that Congress has to pass laws.
At least he has retarded followers like OP who are willing to declare victory when nothing happens.
Like pretending to win a trade war against China when you get nothing you asked for, still have to swallow a 30% price increase, and don't get any benefits because its only good for 90 days and the markets will punish the uncertainty.

All trump did was stop biden's executive order to "investigate how to lower drug prices" and instead signed an executive order to actually lower drug prices instead of just talking about it.

>>1405423 No. No outrageous high drug prices will remain in the United States but drop by a small amount. This will be made up by the Europeans having to raise their drug prices by 10 to 20%.

Remember when Trump said, after the Vegas shooting “we’re going to do something about all the guns” and then some NRA guys came to visit him and the next day he said “we need more guns actually” yeah you don’t need to be a genius to see how this will play out

I wanted a neoliberal solution that intertwines the government into the mix so consumers pay lower prices, however funding for programs is 100% assured, thus securing my stock holdings in the short term and ensuring growth over the years.
I mean, WTF? This doesn't help at all!

>>1405780 good. gun control is unconstitutional and all gun control advocates are pure evil.
plus the Vegas shooting was done by the federal government and that's why it got memory holed. there was never a motive or reason or even footage of how the guy got the guns up there.

>>1405847 >gun control is unconstitutional and all gun control advocates are pure evil. Indeed. The biggest gun control advocates favor gun control because they know in their hearts they are evil people who would go into a full irrational rage and shoot someone if they owned a gun.
These people expect everyone to be as crazy and evil as they are. But it simply isn't the case.

>>1405691 you are a fucking retard. the issue we had the whole time was we didn't want to be forced to hold the bag like we did with obongo care where prices went up or with bernie sanders care which would cause taxes to sky rocket. most of trump's voters straight up couldn't give to fucks if rich jews like Pfizer or Johnson and Johnson are getting fucked and holding the bag.
it's like when you retards pretend Teddy Roosevelt was left wing when he hated socialists like debbs and was fine fucking over jp Morgan when he buster up the trusts. vs say wilson who was a dem who handed the US over to the Rockefellers by creating the federal reserve

>>1405849 >when he buster up the trusts Modernity's problem is the trusts are now classified as shareholders such as Blackrock, Vanguard, and others.
No one cares to bust those trusts up.
And the golems who pay heed to their news outlets don't care when you point out this is who they serve when they're ragebaited and led to poor solutions via the investment firm's mouthpieces.
Those who would otherwise eat the rich, are the biggest slaves to the rich.
The funniest part is when they deny it because they're literal retards STILL fully incapable of grasping that almost everything they believe is an ad campaign targeted to affect them emotionally into supporting their initiatives by alluding that it's "for the greater good". The rush of being retarded "for the greater good" must be mind-blowingly satisfying.
