Trump spent over two hours rattling off a list of his wins, which, according to him, included slashing drug prices by as much as 300, 400, 500, and even 600 percent under deals inked with pharmaceutical giants.
So something that was costing $1,300 is now costing $87, he said, appearing to reference an earlier anecdote from a fat friend who claimed that Ozempic, the GLP-1 medication sometimes used as a weight loss drug, costs $1,300 in New York but $87 in London.
The fake news doesnt want to write about it, Trump said. Thats why I do this. I dont like to do this, to be honest with you, but I do it because I gotta get the word out.
The stock market plummeted as Trump bragged about his economic policies. The Dow slid 870 points, the S&P 500 saw its worst day since October, and the Nasdaq shed 561 points as the market reacted to Trumps renewed threats to take over Greenland and impose sweeping tariffs on European countries that get in his way.

(21,957 posts)Trump didn't shut his fat mouth for one day during Biden's 4 years.
Think about former presidents like GWB, seldom heard from, and Obama, who's been more visible publicly than Bush, but still isn't in our faces 7 days a week.
Trump never leaves campaign mode. Never. The second he sees a lapse in news coverage, he shoots off his mouth. He's done it every day since leaving office the first time.
