"Almost half the 43 drugs listed on TrumpRx were already available more cheaply as generics and spending on TrumpRx typically doesn't count toward insurance deductibles.

At launch, the Trumpf junta bleated they would add "more and more drugs, week over week" to TrumpRx. A month later, the site only offered 44 drugs, a tiny slice of the 24,000 prescription drugs that federal regulators have approved."

The Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) are grifters extraordinaire, perpetually running cons against the American people.

An average Joe
From the grand design
He breaks his back for Big Talk
He pulls up
He pulls down
He's the one over at the lever
That puts the lids on the jars

Big talk
Better fall in line
Big talk
Always watching you
Big talk
When efficiency is cut
Big talk
Better buy more glue

Mr. Simpson says this business needs a strong arm
Some new part to clear out all the dead wood
So be sure to install this new Long arm by next week
'Cause that short arm over there is through

Ohh oh replace all parts with Long Arm
Ohh oh this business needs a strong arm
It's Big Talk

King Dotard's audience reminds me of the old Weekly World News. Every week there wouldd be a headline screaming something like "Aliens Kidnap the President" or somesuch, and then the next week the crisis would be completely forgotten. The audience never once thinking, "What ever happened to the President? Wouldn't that actually be a big deal in the real world if that happened?"
How many times can he scam and lie and his followers never call him on it?

The funny thing is you weren't even drinking coffee, nor wearing a t-shirt.

I am almost always drinking coffee and wearing a t shirt. Unless I'm asleep. And then I'm not drinking coffee but I am still wearing that same old T-shirt.

It's funny that you think you know me.

It's not Trump's fault. The pharmacists were trying to enter the 1500% discounts and the cash registers crashed.

"Almost half the 43 drugs listed on TrumpRx were already available more cheaply..."

Initial analysis showed it was worse than Good Rx. And NO generics??? GTFOH.

Like Trump Accounts, it's only for folks who don't know any better.
