During his campaign, Trump famously broke with Republican orthodoxy with his support for having the government negotiate lower drug prices.

(snip)

Pelosi’s staff spent months over the course of this year trying to get White House support for her measure to allow the government to negotiate prices for up to 250 drugs per year, with tough financial penalties for companies that refused to come to the table.

Democrats think highlighting Trump’s lack of follow-through on negotiating drug prices for Medicare will be a strong line of attack in the 2020 campaign. The high cost of prescription drugs became a powerful campaign issue in 2018 for Democrats, who retook control of the House.

(snip)

The pharmaceutical industry is a powerful force in Washington, making any action difficult. Even the more modest Grassley-Wyden bill faces a tough path, given that many Republican senators oppose one of its key provisions, which would limit Medicare drug price increases to the rate of inflation.

5. I knew he'd never pursue this, a lot of his oligarch colleagues are in the drug business.

Notice how he’s ignoring his other campaign promises as well, such as term limits, rebuild the infrastructure, bring back jobs from overseas, etc.
He’s been a complete failure.

17. It's amazing that Trump's base can't see this man has no integrity what-so-ever.

I guess that says a lot about why these people voted for him as well. We know that.
