    I wonder how many of his loyal idiot voters noticed. They’ll probably somehow blame Democrats even though the GOP is running ruining everything right now.

    I wonder how many conservatives reliant on prescription drugs are going to be able to connect the dots on this one.

    Can you even connect dots if you don’t have multiple brain cells to connect?

      What are you talking about? It makes perfect sense, he will continue to enrich billionaires and business interests at all other costs. His supporters are gullible or weak or both and won’t fight yhe narratives that will come out. My guess is it’ll be an ego play combined with bribes - remove the actual government regulation and enforcement, then make himself the guy who “puts the hurt on” the drug companies and some fake stats about how much better it will get. It won’t of course, but his supporters are gullible or weak or both. He gets bribes and his ego inflated, health companies and pharmabros get their God and hero in him, and poor people get fucked and say thank you.

      As it ever was with him.

      No, he wanted to “reduce spend”. You can either do that by negotiating better prices: good.

      OR, you can just cut funding for medicare and social security entirely: horrible, what he said he was going to do, and what all the fucking morons who just decided to ignore his statements insisted he’d never do because it would “hurt the working class who supported him”.

        If you’ve been living under a rock for the past year you can try to stomach the new whitehouse.gov site which pretty clearly states he wants to “lower costs for all Americans”, then goes on to dog whistle about fascist policies.

        The annoying orange wants to reduce spending too, which is why he’s funding a brand new federal advisory board, DOGE. Satire is dead.

          Retranslate the page. “All Americans” means only the Americans he can see within 50 feet of him, which shocker! Are all fascist billionaires. And himself.
