    Former President Trump attempted to take credit for insulin pricing in a post on Truth Social Saturday.

    “Low INSULIN PRICING was gotten for millions of Americans by me, and the Trump Administration, not by Crooked [President Biden,]” Trump said in the Truth Social post. “He had NOTHING to do with it. It was all done long before he so sadly entered office. All he does is try to take credit for things done by others, in this case, ME!”

    President Biden has hailed the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the law which has a $35 cap on insulin for those with Medicare, as an important achievement.

    Medication costs are important to people so I would expect Sleepy Don to try and take credit

    How does this work, claiming credit for a bill passed two years after he left office?

    Sounds pretty desperate. I am guessing bad internal polling.

    OK now that they have the price insulin under control when are they going to go to work on Farxiga and Anoro Elipta, two prescriptions I am on. I'm not sure the monthly cost of insulin but Farxiga and Anoro are each $500+ per month drugs.

    I think the off topic button on your computer is stuck. This is about the 50th thread comment you have made lately on a post you rated off topic. Rating something off topic then commenting on it don't seem too bright to me, you just made the subject on topic, at least to you.

    What do you think of the topic of the thread - Trump taking credit for something he had nothing to do with? Does he get a pass because he lies all the time anyway?

    Here's Trump pretending a concert in Ocala was actually a Trump rally.

    Didn't Trump fix this, bro? I know he did the wall and solved the debt and all that other stuff.

    At least Biden fixed the price of insulin. Why didn't Trump do anything?

    Also.....









    ...you worship a lying con man who hasn't done sh!t for anyone. Certainly not YOU.

    But why?

    Why did he fix that during his first term? Looks like we needed the leadership of Biden to add Farxiga to the list of the first 10 drugs that will be negotiated

    No you don't, you worship the lying con man whose cons make Biden's lies seem really trivial.

    While Joe Biden has a tendency to fabricate stories about his personal background, Old Joe doesn't come remotely close to the other guy (the former reality television star and failed real estate developer) when it comes to a history of cons just a few of which include falsifying business records to conceal a payoff to a porn star to conceal a one-night stand, falsifying the valuation of his properties, conning his employees, contractors and creditors, conning "students" at a phony university, using a phony charitable foundation for personal expenses and there are probably many more.

    The difference between those drugs and insulin is that they're both still under patent protection while insulin for the treatment of diabetes has been around since 1923 (when Eli Lilly was given the right to use that name) if not earlier and bioengineered insulin since 1978. While I would like to see the prices of both Farxiga and Anoro Elipta reduced their situation is not identical to that of insulin.

    Oh, I see what you mean! Funny!!!


    Seriously though, Biden is doing things to help people. Your guy is just lying to try and take credit, and committing adultery, rape and crimes.

    You must be proud!

    In Trump's defense, it could be ignorance and not dishonesty. He knows he signed something about insulin prices, he may well not know exactly what it did and how it's different than what Biden did.
