Trump's first business negotiation ... and he caves completely

[mamooth]

Way to go, "businessman!"

Trump's campaign promise? To force big pharma to give bulk discounts to Medicare.

And he meets with Big Pharma. How did it turn out?

After meeting with pharma lobbyists, Trump drops promise to negotiate drug prices
---
Today, after a meeting with pharmaceutical industry lobbyists and executives, he abandoned that pledge, referring to an idea he supported as recently as three weeks ago as a form of “price fixing” that would hurt “smaller, younger companies.” Instead of getting tough, Trump’s new plan is that he’s “going to be lowering taxes” and “getting rid of regulations.”
---

So, no discounts. Instead, Trump promises them tax cuts, and more deregulation of things like safety standards. What did he get in return for that? Bupkiss. At least as far as the people go. Who knows what bribes he collected.

So, he's either a totally incompetent negotiator, or a skilled crook. In either case, the Trump-fans here are still going to tell us how wonderful he was for doing it.

This is why the Republicans won't stand up to Trump. He's allowing their donors to loot the treasury, and that's all they care about.

Hey, it's only hundreds of billions of dollars or so (in the long term). You're right, no biggie. DearLeader shouldn't have been expected to spend more than a few minutes on it. He's got many other people asking for his help in looting the treasury.

So even Trump's own statements are fake news now?

You've completely left this reality, Frank.
