From the mouth itself, on the drug EO

The interesting part, starts around the 30 minute mark, how the other people describe how the EO will work. Apparently, the regime will dictate to the drug companies what they must charge for their products in other countries, then, they will receive the same price in the US. I can see the other countries crying “we have a contract at this price”, to which the drug companies will cry “force majeure”. TIG will apparently use his tariff club to try to beat other countries into submitting to the much higher pricing.

Rather depends on whose spin you hear. Either drug companies will be forced to dramatically cut the prices they charge USians, or, the version presented here, that other countries will be forced to hand a lot more money to the drug companies.

Fun little tidbit, Kennedy says, and TIG nods in agreement, the pharma industry handed him $100M.

The U.S. is becoming a command economy based on the whims of Donald and Judi. If you comply, the benefits are substantial. If you do not, the penalties can be significant, particularly if you do not have the resources to fight back in court.

The Markets, and other Nations, have so far discreetly slapped Trumped down on his “bully pulpit” schemes. Why is this going to be any different ?

Behind door number one is a Qatar 747. The price is right!

Saw a hilarious cartoon this morning. “Someone” standing in the door of a 74, that had “Grift Force One” painted on it, telling a little girl that three dolls are too many, and she has to make do with less.
