Trump adding Tariffs to Medicne

He’s driving a car 90 mph at a tree and America is supposed to wait to see if he swerves at the last second, because any earlier and we haven’t let it play out.

 

Trump always has a plan- let's just wait and see how this plays out

 

Damn...so let it play out and wait for another insurrection in the end...and I thought one was enough.

 

I wish this is true and it benefits Americans and not himself. Time will tell..

 

yes time will tell

 

So is this an admission that January 6 was actually planned by him and that he wanted a violent mob of his supporters to attack the Capitol to prevent the certification of an election and the transfer of power?

 

I don't know whether it was part of his plan or not but I remember when Trump imposed tariffs on China during his first term. The Chinese retaliated by imposing tariffs on American soybeans and other agricultural commodities. Trump and the Republican Congress responded by providing US farmers with $28 billion in subsidies to compensate the farmers for the loss of the Chinese market. I guess that was all part of his plan.
Trump Tariff Aid To Farmers Cost More Than U.S. Nuclear Forces

 

What was his plans for all his businesses that went bankrupt?

 

If you’re accustomed to running bankrupt businesses there’s no better job than running the country!

 

Those losers of the last election have no clue... no Critical Thinking skills. They will not figure out that it makes it more feasible for these drug companies to make their drugs here in the U.S.A. Yes, it's a temporary price increase, until President Trump forces them to take less profits by selling their drugs to Americans at favored nations prices.

This takes China out of our medicine/drug making business and keeps it right here in the U.S.A. The prices will come down, and the big pharma will be forced to take less money in profits... always a good thing.

 

I envy you your sangfroid. Myself, I want to lay on the floor and drum my heels against the hardwood while screaming.

 

Astonishing that nobody seems to give a $hit about this guy's flagrant conflicts of interest. I guess that's how it goes in criminal Trump World.



The astonishing conflict of interest haunting RFK Jr.’s health secretary nomination

As the New York Times reported last week, Kennedy has referred potential plaintiffs — people who say they have been injured by vaccines — to the law firm Wisner Baum, which is suing Merck over alleged harm related to the HPV vaccine. (He has also been involved in other cases for the firm.) Wisner Baum pays Kennedy for these referrals, in the vaccine case and other cases: He’s earned more than $2.5 million over the past two years, the Times reported. When the lawsuit concludes, if the vaccine manufacturer loses, Kennedy will get a financial reward.

Conflict of interest is so pre-2016.

 

I enjoy a good challenge, so let's see if you can think through this critically.

Why would that make it more feasible? I think what you mean is comparatively cheaper. However, why wouldn't it lower relative competition, causing further price increases?

First of all, that is a trade term that you are definitely using incorrectly. Second, price fixing is an interesting strategy. Why wouldn't price setting lead to fixing in this instance?

Why do you suppose that drug companies make location decisions on production costs? Production costs have little to do with pricing.

Seems unlikely. More than likely, it pushes it somewhere not engaged in trade wars, as that protects future earnings. Companies don't generally appreciate uncertainty related to future costs.

See no evidence of any of this, actually.

BTW, how about this for some critical thinking. Who is the largest purchaser of medications in the US? The federal government. He is signing up the federal government to pay higher prices for medications after they pass through the tariffs.

 

Their orange emperor can do no wrong. All hail the orange one! Anyone have a fiddle?

 

hardly- but you libs will never accept what actually happened, so enjoy your dance to the music of orange man bad- you have 206 weeks to go

 

Hmm, so what was his plan there?

 

What in the great gobley gook of nonsense is this post? You’re going to cause @docspor to have an aneurysm with this.

 

To suck all the cash out and leave the bones for his creditors?
