#MafiaState

I’m all for lower drug prices, but this will hurt #patients most.

#Trump sets 100% #drug #tariffs on companies that haven’t lowered prices

Makers of patented #pharmaceuticals can escape the import tax by agreeing to join Trump’s “most favored nation” program to reduce US drug prices or by establishing new factories to serve the #US market….

Companies that agree to build new US plants will face 20% tariffs during construction, which must be completed before #Trump leaves office [impossible]. The admin expects “the lion’s share” of patented drugs consumed by Americans to be produced in the #US.

We need some Africans on the job. Americans have no conception of the Art of the Deal, especially from this Clown - but I can assure anyone who may ask, if you want a good deal on Anything: ask an African, especially a Nigerian .

Marketplace Woman.

I could put fifty of these women on the job tomorrow and you would see Price Reductions. Oya na.

@Nonilex didn't the courts just curtail his ability to regulate trade?
