Honest question and not trying to be contrarian, but was Biden's EO actually helping to cap/lower prices or was it more of a symbolic move?
Honest response. I don't have enough information to answer your question.

However, I will respond with the following. Is the Trump revocation going to lower prices or likely raise them? Did Trump do it to help the public or spite against Biden.

I think he mostly did it to spite Biden, same as he did to Obama.

The Legislation and the EO did lower drug prices but they were no where near done with price negotiations under the EO. They only completed the first 10 drugs back in August. So it was the beginning of a process to negotiate lower prices for Medicare.

Lol the spiteful orange baby. He’s removed secret service detail on John Bolton and other former cabinet members. Well technically he removed it back in 2020 but Biden restored the protection.

Trump has shut down approval of wind power projects "Pending a review of the entire industry".

Those wind turbines in Scotland REALLY pissed him off.

Well Girls (and that means you too @Greenman & @brandonbull) the administration has fixed gender bias on day one by defining gender as the gender you are at conception.

Every fertilized egg starts as a female so we are all legally female.

That also takes care of the trans sports problem since everyone competing is female.

I don’t make the rules Trump does and this is what America voted for ladies.

Trump signs EO to withdrawl from the World Health Organization. Good luck with the next pandemic when the US is left out of the loop.

Yes, it’s the old “The US is getting ripped off!” thing, because he personally sees no value in being the leading member of a world-wide organization that doesn’t make money, it just prevents major health catastrophes. If there’s no immediate, monetary benefit to the US, he values it as ZERO!. The US is the largest supporter of WHO, and to Trump that makes us "suckers". WHO did take into account infromation from China regarding aspects of how Covid happened. That makes them LOSERS! Plus, they had the gall to disagree with him on COVID, making him look bad. You know that ’deserves a paddlin’.

Or rather, since the WHO didn’t align with the right’s world view during COVID, they’re now just as untrustworthy as the scientists who inform them. So this may be a personal issue for Trump, but rank and file Maga will love this.

When Trump does a thing, he does it for one or more of five simple reasons.

It gets him money.
It gets him praise.
It gets him power.
It gets him laid.
“Fuck you, that’s why.”

It isn’t any more complicated than that. Withdrawing from WHO is mostly the last one.

Shit, government enforced sex changes were not on my January bingo card.

I'm Surprised trump has not started a new Federal agency, Department of Gender Examination (DOGE)

Pretty sure Trump did not write this, but signed it. He is a moron, of course. And the religious fanatic who wrote these orders is uneducated, and trying to get away from DNA, which clearly show more than 2 sexes. Are all intersex people going to be rounded up? Or just forced to pick one box which might not conform to the one they want or were assigned at birth?

If I remember my biology classes correctly, the ovaries also drop and become the testes.

So when push comes to shove, the GOP still can't define male and female. It's going to be a looooong 4 years of ignorant, religious anti-science, rigid thinking bullshit.

He really wants gilded age 2.0. And most American brains implode when trying to conceptualize any form of history.

As Trump, Vance and some of his family were in a church for a sermon, the Right Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, gave a sermon that scolded Trump and may have been The Most Uncomfortable Non-Judicial Speech that Trump has had to listen to in a very long time.

In short, she explained what Jesus actually WOULD do, and essentially exhorted Trump to lean in that direction – y’know: the antithesis of his entire agenda.


After which, Trump told the press that he “didn’t think the prayer service was very good.”

Watching him sit through this Prayer Service was.... a chef's kiss. He was bored as fuck, with a constant puss face. If given the choice, would have chosen drinking gasoline over attending.

I predict a forthcoming memo to Kash Patel, suggesting another addition to the Enemies List.

Blessed are the rich, for they shall become richer!
Blessed are the proud: flattery and continual praise shall be theirs.
Blessed are the strong: they shall conquer the world!
