Why???? People all across this country are taking medication for various illnesses and conditions and are already paying more than they can afford. Many people are self-titrating their meds because they are so expensive and they are desperate and suffering. This is a regressive tax placed on the sick and vulnerable. This is heartless. How much more can we take from a man that should be placed in the worst possible nursing home in the world? Send him to his beloved Russia to live in the Gulag where he belongs. Leave Americans alone.

my only question for my congressman at his next town hall is what his impeachment vote is going to be.

Talvi’s Mom's avatar

If he’s a Rethug he will lick his…boots and keep him. Why do you ask?

The worst and the saddest part about this whole situation is no one of authority is stepping up and forcing these criminals out of our government these murderers, these people who hate the American people🤬🤬 other countries have had the balls to stand up to this man, not the divided states of America🤬🤬🤬

David Draper's avatar

You comment "no one of authority is stepping up" must mean no Republicans. Democrats at all levels are speaking up but they don't have the votes to make a difference. The criminals are each and EVERY ONE of the Republicans in Congress.

It might take force, not votes, but if we start by removing the enablers, we might get there soon.

Talvi’s Mom's avatar

Make the authority happen.

Because the cruelty is always the point.

Fuck Trump with a pineapple 🍍!

Talvi’s Mom's avatar

I was going for a hot iron pole but if it’s a fresh green pineapple, I like it.

I look forward to his obituary every minute of every day!

After that BS White House physical report stating he's on excellent health!

Marsha Sherman's avatar

How can he be declared in excellent health when he's fat as a cow and mentally incompetent? Those doctors must make big bucks to lie for him.

EMB's avatar

Someone else took the ‘exam’ for him! No way his cholesterol is that low..

Semolina Pilchard's avatar

The doctor told him, Sir, you have excellent health like no one’s ever seen before.

Riiiigghhttt and I’m 20yrs old and a size 4.

I just watched an interview with Laurence Summers, ex president of Harvard and former Secretary of Treasury to President Clinton. After a thorough discussion of the damaging effects of Trump’s tariffs, he was asked whether he could see a driving strategy behind the tariffs. The only strategy he could see was self enrichment of Trump, his family, and his closest advisors. Basically, just what most Americans have thought all along!

It’s genocide. Apparently anyone who needs life saving medication is…disposable. That’s essentially what he said during the pandemic and about his own disabled nephew. It’s his Nazi/whitesupremacist

mentality.

And RFK Jr stating healthy people will never get sick from infectious diseases. Every Senator that voted for these Cabinet picks need to be voted OUT!

I have never hated anyone in my life! I didn’t even think I was capable of hate! But, I hate him…with a passion, I hate him! 😡

People are going to die and he knows it! He knows everything he is doing will cause people to suffer! I’m too infuriated now to even be afraid.

Leah Baum's avatar

I believe that’s his plan to kill millions of us through diseases.

Laura_Solidarity✊🏻's avatar

Yes, that’s one of his evil plans. I just heard 3 people have contracted Mad Cow disease or Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), which happens to every 1 in 1M people…it’s rare! And I’m horrified bc my cousin contracted it about 2 years ago and it was awful to watch her deteriorate so fast. It’s an awful disease…no treatment no cure! 😔

JNelliE's avatar

What may be a more sinister part of this is they now know how the market will react…which is another way of predicting the movement and making money.

Laura_Solidarity✊🏻's avatar

I can’t stand that these people are getting even wealthier off of our misery!

Aocm🇨🇦's avatar

They’re taking $$$$ in every way they can - pay taxes that go to the bnaires, buy stuff that’s owned by bnaires, etc etc etc⚫️

Laura_Solidarity✊🏻's avatar

Exactly…as if they need more wealth! They are attempting to bankrupt then starve us until we either give into them or die. It’s unfortunately a page in the fascist book for dummies! That’s why we’re working to get the truth out so the majority of us can rise up! 🌹

Carol's avatar

This is truly heartless. I am one of the millions who takes several different prescription medicines. Will I be able to afford to continue them? I highly doubt my Medicare Advantage plan is going to continue to cover the costs for me.

Marsha Sherman's avatar

I'm in the same boat. Just this year since Trump got elected one drug I used to get for free now costs me $47 on my Advantage Plan, and I have to take one every day.

Talvi’s Mom's avatar

Advantage plans are when an insurance company buys your Medicare. No advantage. If you no longer have Medicare it reverts to that company which will refuse to cover you. Just wait.

The Whittakers's avatar

I have taken medication for my chronic neuromuscular autoimmune condition over 45 years. It's what has allowed me to live a relatively normal life with an emphasis on helping others.

For years it has been much more expensive in the US than for others in our global community.

Lisa Joy 🏳️‍🌈's avatar

I take like 16, manage diabetes and kidney disease. I guess he doesn’t care if he kills the high cost people.

Talvi’s Mom's avatar

He’s working on killing the elderly, disabled ( any age) and anyone that isn’t white. Project 2025/America First. White people only.

Tony Weighous's avatar

You’ve just written the most concise summary of what Trump is doing and accurately identified his bible as Project 2025. Wake Up and Resist Now!!!

Steve Glicken, MD's avatar

Nutlick is a huge fucking asshole.

Steve Glicken, MD's avatar

I’m happy that now Nutlick is being bombarded by true patriots who find him lacking in sanity and any sense of self-worth.

Rosemary's avatar

Dictators make their people poor, uneducated and sick. This is how the people are easily controlled and manipulated 😡😡🤬🤬

Stephen Birchett's avatar

And convince the people that it is the 'others' fault; minorities, people of different faith, migrants, lgbqt.........

Stop the BS247's avatar

Begging for bread and hoping for a sip of water is not my forte.

Talvi’s Mom's avatar

Keep letting them get away with it.

Darlene's avatar

Biden/Harris were able to lower insulin and other lifesaving drugs. Frump raised them back. Biden/Harris got negotiated pricing rights.....and now they (frump) not only can't be bothered, but are now putting taxes on them.

He said recently "you have to take your medicine " but what if you can't afford your medication?

He and the administration and cabinet need to be removed

If I was a duck's avatar

And don't forget crashing the stock market for inside trading.

Grumpy Liberal's avatar

Booby Kennedy, Jr, is going to make America healthy again so we won’t need all those drugs.

TCinLA's avatar

The wrong RFK got shot.

Talvi’s Mom's avatar

Put that crackpipe down. He’s going to kill us all.

Talvi’s Mom's avatar

You think? How long will we allow this to continue?

Johnny Canuck's avatar

They are trying to restrict voting as much as possible. You can't vote if you are dead. They want you poor, pregnant, ignorant and unhealthy so you are easier to keep docile.

Sheila's avatar

Sickening. I find myself wishing all the hardship these goons put on Americans comes back to them a thousandfold.

Sandra Tolbert's avatar

Heartless is the right word to describe Trump and his thugs.

Stephen Birchett's avatar

I think calculating is better to describe the kleptocrats. Their heartlessness is almost a given. All people outside of their agenda 2025 are merely chattels and subordinate to their program. Denying the right to vote, to health, to unionise and to live a productive, fruitful life is all part of the ruination of democracy and its replacement by kleptocracy.

CatChex's avatar

They also can be calculating AND heartless. You are correct, Stephen, that their heartlessness is a given. Those with compassion, humanity, moral compasses need not apply and don’t have a place in the regime.

If a drug company decided today to move a simple oral drug from where it is now made, they would have to find a US source for the active ingredient, all the inactive ingredients and the container, and have an available US site to fabricate the pills. The FDA would have to approve the move, with data to support stability of products made at the new site. Time required to locate a site and have data on the drug for submitting to FDA about a year and a half (if everything goes well) and FDA approval (with inspection of the sites involved) at best 6 months and probably longer. Meanwhile the drug (plus tariffs) would be imported in the interim. Also tariffs on imported raw materials that could not be replaced would raise the cost of drugs already made here. If there is no confidence that the tariffs would be in place all that time, why would companies make the investment? They would just pass tariffs on to the patient.

Jerry Styberg's avatar

Consumers will suffer from an increase in drug prices that are already too expensive!

Cathy Board's avatar

That scum bag not my president is handing a death sentence to the poor people of America! I live on Social Security and already had to stop some of my non essential medications to pay for the ones helping me to be a functioning human being. Instead of taxing the billionaires and millionaires he taxes the dumb shits who elected him and the ones who didn’t. Lord forbid he taxes his rich supporters…I was gonna say friends but he doesn’t have any. I wasn’t gonna say it but here goes…WE TOLD YOU SO!
