Watch live: #Trump & *#Health* Secy #RFKJr to speak soon on #DrugPrices.Trump plans to sign a wide-reaching #ExecutiveOrder on Monday directing drugmakers to lower the prices of their #medicines to align w/other countries.White House ofcls said the govt will give drugmakers price targets in the next 30 days, & will take further action to lower #prices if those companies do not make "significant progress" towards those goals within 6 months.https://www.reuters.com/world/us-china-tariff-live-updates-bessent-greer-announce-details-constructive-geneva-2025-05-12/

#Trump said on social media on Monday that #DrugPrices would be cut by 59%.The estimate followed comments he made on Sunday that he would sign the order pursuing "most favored nation" pricing, resulting in cuts of 30% to 80%.The White House did not specify any targets.The #ExecutiveOrder differed from what drugmakers had been expecting.Four #lobbyist sources told Reuters they were expecting an executive order that called for "most favored nation" pricing on a subset of #Medicare #drugs.

#Trump's order also directs the government to consider facilitating direct-to-consumer purchasing programs that would sell #drugs at the #prices other countries pay.Americans pay the highest prices for #prescription drugs, often three times what people in other developed countries pay.#medicine

Listening to this guy ramble is making my ears bleed. He is so stupid & a disgusting braggart. And he seems incapable of saying anything that isn’t a lie.#Trump is making statements about the #China #trade talks that don’t match what officials have actually said about what resulted from the meetings in Europe.#FactCheck #TrumpLies

#Trump has now veered dramatically off topic, to praise #JeaninePirro, his longtime friend, #FauxNews host & current pick to serve in some temporary *capacity* [incapacity] as #USattorney in #DC. He *digresses* about the ratings of “The Five” on Fox News.#idiocracy #kakistocracy #law

@Nonilex Sadly news channels in the UK - TV and radio - are addicted to his rambling speeches.Fortunately I know where the Off switch is.

#Trump, who is making a #prescription #drug announcement, is now riffing about “the fat drug,” meaning Ozempic or something comparable, that he said a “seriously overweight” & “wealthy” friend told him he was paying way too much for in the United States compared to the price in London.Now he’s claiming that cutting drug prices will pay for the #GoldenDome w/money left over. Of course he goes off on a tangent claiming Biden made the US unsafe so the golden dome is necessary.#idiocracy

#Drug #prices are insanely high in the #US, but #Trump as usual is grossly exaggerating.Trump is scheduled to leave the White House for his foreign trip in 20 minutes. He has yet to sign the executive order on drug prices.

In his first term, #Trump was focused on ensuring that Americans got the lowest #drug #prices. Now, he seems much more concerned about making sure Europeans pay more.Trump has still not described any specific legal mechanism for lowering #DrugPrices.Trump claims prices could come down somewhere between 59% & 90%

@Nonilex i can tell you how lowering drug prices worked out in the Netherlands, companies don't send us their products because other countries pay more. So lots of necessary medicine is unavailable or with enormous delays. You have to have a contingency plan like making the medicine locally

Both #Trump & #RFKJr, the #HHS secretary, have been falsely claiming that #Democrats have done nothing about high #drug #prices. Democrats passed legislation to allow #Congress to negotiate on the price of some drugs in #Medicare during the #Biden administration.In fact TV Dr Oz is now pointing to the #IRA [Inflation Reduction Act] which was the Biden bill.

#Trump is talking again.The fact is this #ExecutiveOrder is meaningless. It is correct that Americans pay substantially higher #prices for #drugs than peer nations. But that reality reflects the very different #legal rules governing #drug purchasing.This order will not change that.#law #medicine

@Nonilex my theory is that some drug exec didn't kiss the ring enthusiastically enough and this is trump shaking them down. he has no intention of lowering pharma profits to benefit actual citizens.

#Trump is now talking about how bewildering he finds the people in #Israel who want the bodies of their dead loved ones back from #Hamas in #Gaza. He keeps saying “they want back the dead bodies as much as if they are alive!” Completely confused by the concept. He says “maybe it has something to do with the religion or something I don’t know.”

Unreal. “White farmers are being brutally killed,” #Trump says of the #Afrikaners being brought to the #US as #refugees. He says he doesn’t care about “their race, their color, their height,” but that if it was the “other way around” — meaning Black farmers being harmed — it would be a news story, & this isn’t. He claims “it’s a genocide going on. But you people don’t want to write about it.”He is lying. The assertions of mass kililngs are false.#FactCheck #TrumpLies

#Trump tells an #ABC News reporter who presses him on ethical questions raised by accepting the nearly half-billion-dollar #Qatari luxury jet for free that she should be “embarrassed” for asking the question. He calls her “ABC fake news” & repeatedly bashes the network.

@Nonilex This is the “bribe” to pass it. And when drug prices soar he’ll blame whoever refused to pass his budget - even though it likely had zero correlation.

@Nonilex Regarding the jet as a gift: to me this looks like a Trump taking a hand-me-down jet. The air force will put some patches on the knees and ass and Trump will show it off like it’s special. It makes him look weak. He doesn’t see that. But the world does. So, reporters, ask it this way: “How does it benefit the USA to have the President accept a hand-me-down from a small middle eastern country. Doesn’t that makes us look weak and needy?

@Nonilex I didn't immediately know what bothered me about this but I think this is it - he thinks that when people die, they just stop being people.He doesn't recognize the gaps left behind by people who die because he genuinely doesn't love anything or anyone. He really only recognizes the loss of the functioning warm body and *not* the loss of the family or community member.
