Trump signs 100% tariff on brand-name pharmaceuticals

The crazy part is that he rapes children 

He's trying to kill us, isn't he?

What a stupid, stupid man. But hey, yeah, keep blaming Europe for high drug prices in the US lol

Ahem. Trump's *autopen* signs the tax on American citizens who buy medications.

This the same guy who recently claimed he'd lower drug prices by 1500% 🤦‍♂️

There is zero doubt, across the board and by every metric. Donald J Trump is the worst President in the history of the United States. Period. End of story.

I f****** hate it here

An estimated 53% of the brand-name drugs in the US are imported. He just doubled the price of over half of the brand-name medication.  We're to the flailing phase.  Random bullshit go. This will cause deaths.

This is f****** stupid and pointless.

Here i was thinking a 59% raise in my health insurance left me too much gas money.

I really hope when Dems get back into office they strip Trump of the tariff power. Ever since he got into office he has been manipulating the markets via tariffs.

Hasn't it already been ruled he doesn't have the power to do this?  This entire presidency is a series of clusterfucks.

It's market manipulation. He'll suddenly change his mind next week.

I thought he couldn't pull these bullshit tariffs anymore?

Don't forget that we also import 80-90% of generic drugs. >Roughly 80% to 90% of generic drugs and their active ingredients (APIs) used in the U.S. are imported, with significant reliance on India and China.

Shithole country.

So the US can go bankrupt paying these back in 6 months when SCOTUS also deems these illegal?

I hate this administration so much. This move will price us out of my wife's medication.

Why 100? why not 450? or 700? or even 1300%? Or 3200 to 3500%?

A fire hose of crisis and corruption. These lunatics line up with smiles on their face knowing very well the American consumer ends up paying for tariffs. Almost every move he does ends up with a transfer of wealth tot the top, on a day he said they can’t afford daycare or healthcare. Gutless.

This dumb evil m***********, holy christ.

Is Trump dead and Putin running America?

Americans winning...jumping up and down because they will now pay more for their meds...yay Trump.

The worst thing about him kicking the bucket will be that he won’t be here to see everyone celebrating like it’s a global holiday

This stupid mother f****** piece of shit of a president needs to just disappear 🫠  Donald Trump is literally a f****** low IQ sadist. Can we f****** remove him from office already??!

I just want basic guaranteed healthcare. I'll literally die before this country figures out it's okay to make life better for one another, and I'm far from the only one. Unfortunately a large number of Americans are so concerned about who gets what slice of the pie they'd rather starve.

Remember when this guy raped children and your representatives did nothing about it?

What an unmitigated a******.

Oh Boy he is in trouble tonight when he can't get V***** tm and Karoline is left to go home to the other old guy in her life.

This clearly has nothing to do with the fact that Trump's illegal war against Iran has disrupted the global generic pharmaceutical industry... right? Nothing to do at all with the fact that many more people will have to use brand name drugs and pay through the nose for them so that this child raping ghoul can continue to fleece the American people. Nothing. At. All.

He just fucked diabetics

I look forward to a future president reversing all of the damage Trump has done.

Remember when freeing students from student loans was such a Presidential overreach that congress stayed up late, on a weekend, to make sure it didn’t go through? The same congress who are currently on f****** vacation during a partial shutdown… while the country gets raped by a rapist. Or more likely just autopen signatures on Miller’s wet dreams and wildest fantasies.

This will lower drug prices 75-80 percent. Some say as much as 300 to 500 percent.

Dude F*** this guy, get him OUT of office!

All this because too many would not vote for the black woman.

Didn't the supreme court tell him to f*** off with tariffs?

"Drug companies that commit to moving production to the United States will face a 20% tariff while they are transitioning and no tariff if they also agree to lower prices to so-called “most favored nation” levels paid by other countries, " So, drug companies can just say they are gonna move production here and gonna lower prices and all is good? Then in two years just not do it?

He’s working with the Russians at every level.

Jesus, this is outrageously illegal. Not only does he not have tariff powers (yes I know the SC only ruled on IEEPA but their logic extends beyond), this is a fundamental infringement on intellectual property and "corporate speech." It's not All Drugs Over A Certain Price, it's Drugs With Branding. The impact is absolutely not supplier neutral, and undeniably favors some companies over others. Rerun this analysis in your head for cola products. Would it be legal to tariff Coca-Cola, but not Shasta? Even that is a brand, so Kroger would have to just start selling a white box labeled "cola." Honestly, I don't know what would stop Pfizer from just selling the drug as generic at branded prices, so long as they still have the patent nobody else could make it. They'd still have a monopoly.

In what way is this good for the consumer? Jesus Christ, no wonder all of his businesses failed.

Yet again Trump shows a stounding ignorance of world economies. I'm all for trying to get lower priced medication for people. Don't think this will accomplish it. And that's not what this really is about. This is about the concept that everything needs to be manufactured in the United States along with Trump's other isolationist policies. And it's going to backfire and make things more expensive, probably won't actually be long lasting manufacturing, and quite likely will have other unforeseen repercussions .

This f****** dipshit

This helps us, how?

This is illegal and should immediately go to courts.

How do these things still go into effect after it was ruled he has no authority to levy tarrifs?

This stupid mf’er is spiraling. His entire 2nd term is a vengeance run, ruining lives at every turn, multiple times per day, nonstop, every week, for the last year. I’m so sick of him. My comment can be applied to almost everything he’s done for the last decade. I’m tired.

High gas prices weren't good enough?

Didn’t the Supreme Court recently rule that congress has the authority to impose tariffs, not the president? So how exactly is this 100% tariff going to happen?

So Trump, from the Epstein-Trump files is autopen-signing death sentences to many Americans. Anyway, release the file, send everyone to trial.
