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?

this makes absolutely zero sense. how does this benefit him or his people. bribery is the absolute only reason to do this.
Strange, I thought he wanted to reduce prices. He wouldn't lie, would he?
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.
I've got my trump "I raped that too!" Stickers primed and ready for the gas pumps
Do egg prices decrease now?
I just bought eggs and the price nearly doubled since last week.
You could always come up to Canada and get yourself some eggs for the equivalent of a boat $2.50 US. Of course, the prices up here are high because we have a marketing board that limits competition.
Would you like a vicodin egg in this trying time? It's the same price as an egg egg.
No. Still might be a cheaper way to get antibiotics now.
Yep! They’re now only 0.0001 insulins instead of 10 insulins! That’s a 1,000,000% reduction!
"Bandaid measure for systemic problem soon to be removed"
Lol fuck you old people! Wait?
