It’s so ironic. Just a couple weeks ago he was touting how he’s getting drug prices down. Except the tariffs kicked in, and now we’re going to be paying 50% more for those generics. If this were a chess move, we just lost our rooks.
- herbst 1y agoHe claimed to bring prices down while (not after or before) increasing prices for meds from Switzerland for his people. With very little consequences on the Swiss market. He lied, obviously.
- Incipient 1y agoTo continue the analogy, if the US lost a rook, everyone would take notice "damn that was a big blow". I think it's more like losing a pawn. Except now others have taken 3 unanswered pawns and everyone said "eh we've still got our queen" but now the queens are looking shaky and you're staring down a 3 pawn short endgame and no one believes you can turn it around.

- lenkite 1y agoActually iPhone, Pharma and RING BELLS Processed Petroleum Products exported by India are currently exempt from US import tariffs. US wants to punish India for importing Russian oil - except when US themselves are consumers of that processed Russian oil.
