Only the pharmaceutical companies get seats at Trump’s table. Consumer advocates are nowhere to be seen.
Give me, give me, and once you give me what I want, I will give you something in return. Trump, to no one’s surprise, is grifting again. His con never ends but grows like a cancer tumor.
“President-elect Trump hosted the chief executives of Pfizer, Eli Lilly and PhRMA Wednesday night at Mar-a-Lago,” Axios reported Thursday, “where they discussed how the public and private sectors can collaborate on finding cures for cancer, among other topics. ... The meeting at Mar-a-Lago included a pre-dinner reception and lasted nearly three hours.” Also in attendance were Kennedy, incoming White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and Mehmet Oz, Trump’s choice to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
No more hide and seek, nope, Trump realizes that there are suckers born every minute, and he knows he can take advantage of those suckers in plain sight! Don the Con has his two sideshow co-conmen with him, Brain Worm Kennedy and Snake Oil Oz, at the ready to grab the moment. Both Oz and Kennedy are facades, each empty and as oily as Trump.
Wow, how much MORE profit over people will the Pharmaceutical Pariahs demand, and how many more lives will be lost because they cannot afford to live or they are following the advice of two phonies?
