One of Donald Trump’s most well-received and attention-grabbing campaign promises was that he would allow the federal government to negotiate the price of prescription drugs it covers through Medicare. “If we negotiated the price of drugs, Joe, we’d save $300 billion a year,” he rather optimistically asserted. The reason this money-saving method had not been used, he told audiences, was the influence of the industry. “We don’t do it. Why? Because of the drug companies.” Liberals actually support the idea, which would allow the government to use its bargaining power to hold down prices, and which fed into Trump’s image as a populist outsider breaking with party orthodoxy. Trump claimed that other candidates were too compromised by their donors, but he had the financial independence to do the right thing. “We’re going to negotiate like crazy,” he said.

says this guy
do you know how everyone figures out the first second that youre a fag that sais "its only democracy if we win"
Still salty
Well he's backpedalled on everything he promised, so it looks you, the hilldrones and I all lost, huh?
hahaha benis
lel
So in affect,
OMG so like everyones been abandoned, life is hopeless!
If the best they have is a new york fluff piece about how the president is not being left wing enough their future is fucked.
YEAH FUCK DRUMPH HE HASN'T FIXED LITERALLY EVERY PROBLEM IN LESS THEN 2 YEARS I BET YOU WISH YOU VOTED FOR HILLARY NOW DON'T YOU DRUMPHTARDS LOLOLOLOLOL IT WAS HER TURN AND SHE WOULD HAVE SOLVED LITERALLY EVERY PROBLEM EVER IN LESS THEN A MINUTE JUST LIKE OBAMA DID HILLARY 2020
for his kike billionaire donors
est unemployment since ford
gee, redditor, I thought those statistics were fake news, your cheeto elvis told me so
just lmao
another literal lmao at america awakening becuase based kanye said he loves trump. And emma gonzalez.
…for sheldon adelson
Impressive list of acomplishments. What about the Big Wall, huh, big guy
what problem did he solve anyway, besides those high taxes for his jewish donors?
this guy
This tbh
what did he fix anyway? seems like all his big promises fizzled out, he is just Bush 3.0
Hey look he didnt fulfill his promise to fix Obamacare yet.
you mean slashing taxes for adelson?
Yeah slashing peoples taxes and getting rid of the red tape.
yeah, I'm sure his donors are very glad, what about the "silent majority"? seems like all his populist promises just dissapeared. I'm sure in 2020 he will say he never promised any infrastructure plan. And his presidency was bigly the best presidency there is. And the wall? Hillary wanted the wall, not him!
...
Retard everyone got a tax break. Some even got bonuses from employers who got breaks too.
So are you saying Obama lied? I don't get your point.
of course you don't you voted for trump and think everything is going according to plan. That explains a lot.
yeah, 80$ a month for working class people and millions for his kike donors.
literaly his biggest promise and pretty much nothing is happening, he has no funding, turns out his wall is just repearing some fences.
Well the working class can't get a million dollar tax break moron, its income percentage based.
Also love how libs pretend to love the working glass but they'd rather the working class got a $0 tax break than an 80$ tax break.
Awhile ago you claimed it was just nothing lol. Who knows how far you'll backpedal tomorrow?
like trump on the wall? I don't know if it's possible to backpedal that hard.
yeah stupid libs and their silly programs that actualy help the working class, so cringy amirite?
"We knew he was a snake when we let him in"
Fucking what?
Don't let this thread distract you from the fact that in 2016, Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in a 10:1 upset victory for the Presidency of the United States of America
He specifically endorsed:
• A constitutional amendment imposing term limits on members of Congress
• A ban on federal employees lobbying the government for five years
• A ban on members of Congress lobbying for five years
• Tighter rules about what constitutes a lobbyist, instead of letting people call themselves consultants
• Campaign finance reform limiting what foreign companies can raise for American political candidates
• A ban on senior government officials lobbying for foreign governments
Not one fucking thing. And for most of them, his actions have been the exact opposite.
He's signed a 5 year ban on lobbying, it was the first thing he did.
Rest of those things require a bill to be introduced into Congress, Trump can't do that, it would be an impeachable offense.
lol @ you guys being so young, that you actually think America used to be great
Incomplete statement, sir. What the fat fucking idiot did was simply to ban administration officials from ever lobbying the U.S. on behalf of a foreign government and imposing a separate five-year ban on other lobbying by his administration.
The corrupt process of private industry lobbying in Washington, creating policies that are terrible for the American public is even bigger than ever.

CORRECTION:
I'm a 54 year old professional illustrator (artist) using PicsArt
TEEN CHALLENGE :
are any of you old enough (or simply intelligent enough) to tell me what this image is based on ?
lol @ the 'political expertise' of people who were 2 years old when the '9/11 attacks' occured
The lactose Falcon?
You've fallen for the myth
it never was 'great'
lol
close
I'm not sure if by 'Great Again', you're referring to the civil war, or the Dust Bowl, or maybe The Great Depression, or the myth of the 1950's Gee Swell days, or the riots of the 60's and 70's, and the degeneracy that evolved from the late 70s into the 80s, or the cocaine fueled hedonism and Wall Street scams of the 80s and the 90s, or the Zombie-like 2000's….
But to 'Make It Great AGAIN', it must have been 'great' in the past
Which it NEVER REALLY WAS
that was all a marketing brainwashing bait and switch ad campaign
exactly WHEN was it so 'great' that you would like it to return to ?
It sucked
Trust me on this one…………….
It's always sucked balls
...
...
All to push your shitty fucking narrative with your worthless spamming.
...
The 'good old days' that you THINK existed never really existed at all…..
That was all a big bullshit marketing campaign
< Instead, he used all his fiscal running room on a large, regressive tax cut, which predictably has forced the deficit to a level where he no longer has political support for a deficit-financed infrastructure bill.
wew
The good old days are a myth
Still, the point is there. Trump is Mr. Get-the-economy-going, not Mr. Fix-the-fucking-deficit.
HINT: AMERICA NEVER WAS GREAT TO BEGIN WITH
...
Yet, although you're going to try and insist the 'economy is doing better than it has in a long time', that's simply NOT TRUE
work is hard to find, and the jobs that are available are all crap minimum wage fast food tier jobs
There are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of college graduates forced to consider working at Arby's to pay back their student loans. More people are on food stamps than ever before, and our economy is SHIT
Lol @ you being so butthurt by the truth
The simple fact remains:
America never WAS all that great
mm-hm… why? I thought trump said "believe me" the tax cuts are not going to be helping him at all? in fact, they were going to be bad for rich people like him, middle class was going to win. instead the rich got considerably richer and a couple years from now when the US can't pay for anything, they'll take those tax breaks back and just give again to the rich and to corporations to "stimulate the economy"
Goddamn, just look at that butthurt
You can see where this is going.
Trumpsteiners really ought to compete in special olympics in mental gymnastics, no one would be close to beating (((you))).
So he didn't go through with his evil economic policies. Surely this is good news for the left :^)
...
says her lackys
That's stupid and you're stupid for thinking like that. Your college education wasted years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars.
wew
You know what we're in such a fucking Bizarro world that Hillary might of been more on ourside than theirs
I mean recently she said China is trying take over Australia
...
Jews would love a 2 term Trump, they're afraid as shit that he'll be primaried out meaning they won't be able to start WW3
america must fall from within for the Americas to rise beyond precedent.
Here's to hoping Putin won't be a fucking coward and will defend Iran so we can get WW3

Feel free to start arguing like an adult at any time. Pro Tip - Contradiction is never good enough for moving your agenda forward. You also need a definitive replacement, that no one can assault without using dishonesty, to what you're contradicting
But I already know your next response will be some form of your old and outdated "Trump is a Jew!" screeching.
Kanye West while an absolute Nigger is probably going to take Trump out in the Primaries
I knew we should have signed that prenup before voting.
Seems alright to me.
t. Solidly middle-class American

Is that the silence of people ignoring the cheap provocations of the left.

What is with this stupid Reddit meme?
