Without evidence, Trump accused the pharmaceutical industry of fueling the impeachment push, suggesting it was payback for his administration's effort to lower drug costs

President Donald Trump charged Thursday without evidence that the pharmaceutical industry was behind House Democrats' impeachment proceedings, suggesting it was payback for his administration's effort to lower drug costs.

"Lowering the cost of prescription drugs, taking on the pharmaceutical companies, you think that’s easy, it’s not easy. It’s not easy. ... I wouldn’t be surprised if the hoax didn’t come a little bit from some of the people that we’re taking on." Trump said."They’re very powerful, they spend a lot of money, spend I think more money than any other group in the world actually in terms of lobbying and lobbying abilities.

The president was speaking at a Florida event to sign an executive order aimed at beefing up Medicare and its offshoot run by private health plans, Medicare Advantage. Trump has supported moves in Congress to lower drug prices, although the status of that legislation is unclear. On Wednesday he brushed off House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's offer to help him pass a drug pricing measure, calling her efforts "camouflage.

Another distractions tactic good luck with that 45.......

And another one under the bus!!

He’s done nothing

If only!

He never stops his accusations. Very strange man, DJT.

He never lies, he just accuses.

Someone must be affected by drugs.

Right. Like Lying Don really did anything to lower drug costs.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The Cabal is wide, deep and long. It involves the pharmaceutical industry, politicians and judges. They don't want decreasing drug prices or new medical technology that lowers pricing. They certainly dont want new cancer eliminating drugs unless they can overcharge.

Donald Trump has lost his damn mind.

Repeal the NVCIA which makes pharmaceutical companies unaccountable for injuries from vaccines. And repeal McCarran-Ferguson! We support your fight realDonaldTrump to stop the domination of US politics by the government-pharma-media-establishmebt complex!

He manufactures and endless succession of conspiracy theories all aimed at him.

Paranoia

That’s one way to get the left to openly defend the pharmaceutical industry. He should keep at it.

Propaganda

Where are we at on the lie tally?

Politico ate the onion

He never has an proof

What efforts?

Is he off his medicine?

Not a far out possibility. Them among others.

Get the popcorn!

orlandogoncal

Wow

the volume of lies coming from Trump is astonishing. it seems like everything he says is a lie. I've never seen anything like this mendacity.

Omg he's so cuckoo!

Liar. TrumpIsALiar

Wow, literally everyone looking to get real realDonaldTrump should unfollow and boycott . We need Reporting not Parotting. Do better.

Thank you for making it obvious that he was, once again, lying.

Another lie👺🤡

bobmuellerwkrn A fabricator of lies only knows lies to spread.

Of course he’d say that because he knows he won’t do anything about drug prices so at least vilify them and link them to Dems! HeSucksAsPresident GottaGoNOW IMPEACHTrump

He knows the media will cover it anyway. Why are hallucinations from this guy automatically 'news'?

For all the impeachment fanatics on here:

Tongue in cheek comment? Used to be called flippant or humorous. Now it’s called an impeachable offense by American press

The squad said promise not let the president have any rest. They are coming with the attacks.

Without evidence Politico contradicts the president.

Yes the lady who said we got eat babies. Aoc was not surprised or called for security. She just let Lady finished talk. Acted upset cause the people Another attack on the president Trump supporters. Trump supporters want bring shame. Is this real Trump supporters?

realDonaldTrump LIES. You’ve done nothing about drug prices. HouseDemocrats have passed BILLS. senatemajldr won’t allow those bills a vote in the Senate. But YOU’VE DONE NOTHING about legislation for the people WHATSOEVER. You’ve been too busy COMMITTING CRIMES & TREASON.

Everything he says is without evidence.

No facts Donny strikes again

I would have guessed farmers, not pharmers. He's fucked farmers and taken contributions from pharmers.

What does big pharmaceuticals have to do with the Ukraine?

In other words...he lied...again

I haven’t seen any of our prescription drug costs going down. Is he talking about his drug dealers costs? The man has done NOTHING for working America. And Moscow Mitch blocks all the work the House sends to Senate.

Paranoia setting in ? Oh, My..............

He's off his meds 🤦

Trump is going to strike at anything his narcissistic paranoia mind is telling him. Wake up ppl Trump is dangerous, when are you going to realize you are protecting a mentally disturbed president of the US. React before its too! Forget your pride, our country’s safety is at risk!

More lies

Trump will nuke an American city. TrumpCivilWar

If all of their billions were behind this, he would have been removed last week.

I think I’m paranoid 🎶🎶🎶🎵

Lol. Trump himself forgot something. It's ' conflict of interest '. :)

Blames everyone but himself

He hasn’t done a thing to lower drug costs for almost 3 years! Idiot. They have tripled. Please.

Wow off his Rock he goes lying

WOW ...... HOW LOONEY TOONS IS THIS

A cornered animal will do some pretty wild things in panic

If media stopped reporting Trump's lies, there would be no news.

Someone tell the cancer on our democracy that it is the Ds who r trying to bring bill for that. POTUS doesn’t even know what side has sent all the bills to senatemajldr and he is doing nothing.

He really needs to learn some coping skills◉‿◉I would love to be a fly on the wall of the white house. unhingedTrump

He's off the rails. Another normal day in D.C.

paranoia will destroy ya

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️😅🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣

Taking a page out of AdamSchiff's playbook.

This is hilarious. Which drugs have gone down in price?

Ladies & Gentlemen.......Tonight's 'BLAME GAME'

Can someone just put him in a padded room already!?

Asking for a friend in the pharma biz: Would Donald John cease and desist if Big Pharma boosted room purchases at Trump International? 5x, 10x current purchases?

This man is nuts.

What

He’s off the rails crazy...

He just needs to be put in a white jacket and hauled off to putin's house.

Lowering drug costs? A thing he has not done. Next up, claiming he made our waterways cleaner and our pork less deadly. Geez.

Really?! I haven’t seen drug costs go down.

Everybody is doing it to him

Our you all that naïve; he knows the culprits.

Just to jog your memory, the President has access to every phone call, text message from the USA & around the world. His claims are not 'baseless' - exactly the opposite. The NSA (and other agencies) inform him regularly of national security matters, treason and foreign plots.

What effort to lower costs? He’s so delusional!

Seriously? What move did he make to lower drug prices? I feel like I’m living in an alternate universe where nothing is true. BigPharma Pharmaceutical drugcosts

🤔

Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news

Cool. Push back for something he never did.

No amount of stupidity seems to affect his base, which raises the question: Should these people be driving? GOP

Well, when everyone hates you I guess it is easy to be paranoid.

Remember when he said he was spied on in Trump Tower? Everyone thought he was a crockpot for saying that. It turned out to be true.

Man - can this guy do anything but propaganda?

bobhobe If you really want to make him crazy everyone should block his Twitter account!!! Take his audience away and he'll explode

I wish that were true. I’m sure big-pharma gets a lot more done in DC than “we the people” can.

A mad dog is mad but is still dangerous.

Wow....he's really going off the rails now.

Trump 2020

Without evidence, Politico said ... well, everything Politico says.

And what exactly has trump done to lower drug prices? Nothing!

Why don’t they all suit him for defamation....

His aderol costs must have gone up

Lowering drug prices, give me a break, letd hear one drug price they have tried to lower

Trump accuses everyone for everything. One day he blames his pick of the Fed for the stock market. Than it’s the Dems fault because of the impeachment inquiry. It’s never because of his tariffs.

GOP realDonaldTrump another distraction ImpeachTrumpNow

Maybe they should sue him

He's such a liar, They voted not to lower the prices, so pathetic

Well, that’s safe. Who’s going to defend the drug companies? Who’s going to defend trump? Oh, wait

another paranoid delusion.............

It is wild what a blob of jello can think up.

Lol without evidence. The entire Russian probe was without evidence....

Boycott medicine!!!

...coincidence though.

If I were the pharma industry, looking at Trump’s “attempts”, I’d be laughing my head off.

He’s spiraling out of control

He's not real big on evidence. But he definitely is on paranoia.

Standard Right? 'Panders' per audience, not unusual to assume a stereotype. Ignoring the vast range of cognitive ability, intelligence and experience within a community of Elders. This demographic wrote The Book!

This just in Roseanne Barr’s Twin Brother Attorney General Bill Barr has discovered that The Deep state is also responsible for Making President Ogre Turd Trump look Orange. Barr mentioned that the Deep state uses a filter called “Fat Carrot” that creates the Orange look.

Wow!! Pretty soon he'll be going back to Obama, Clinton, Meryl Streep, the Women's Soccer Team, nasty women. The list of people he blames is endless. But he never, of course, thinks to blame his fetid SELF.

Trump is clicking ball bearings in his hands and rambling about strawberries.

What effort?

Why does politico insist on printing his lies.

Oh my. Grandpas off his meds again

WH officials have been fearing for a while that T-rump would become belligerent and unmanageable. Here is clearly exhibiting paranoia and delusion.

He doesn't know how to say anything that ISN'T baseless. Loved Jimmy Kimmel: Trump's theory of inverted validity -- everything that is false is true/and visa versa.

Why not it's really not far fetched Greedy people who flooded our streets with Opioids w/no conscious They knew people were dying And lives we're being ruined arrogant people playing God even trying to patent our genes to control us & Rob us Of personal rights to our own Bodies

Trump is nuts.

Haha. Poor Donny everyone is at fault but him

Come on... What else does Trump have to do to prove he's lost his mind?

Wait did I sleep through his deal to lower drug prices? Oh, wait. He didn't.

Excuses excuses excuses

That’s total BS

😂

In my world that's called BULLSHIT

Blame everyone but himself. His actions are the cause. Hold him accountable

Grasping at straws that each accusation will cause another member of the media to deflect their attention. Stay focused on him.

He is out of control.

Trump’s out of control. He needs to be either in jail or a mental institution!

Apparently the democrats and personal at Political getting their prescriptions at a lower rate because POTUS is demanding lower prices

So now, Big Pharma is part of the imaginary Deep State?

Trump doesn't understand that people often do things for reasons other than corrupt reasons. He is altogether unable to conceive that some people do things for others just because it is the right thing to do. He must think he is 'normal'

UNDER PRESSURE!!!

He’s running scared and want to blame everyone for his failures, corruption, lie, etc. resign or be impeached.

You’ve got to Trump credit. He’s the only person i‘ve ever seen who can say dumb stuff 48 hours a day.

Drug costs have lowered? No!

Hahahahaha

OMG paranoia will destroy you. Wow

When has he ever offered evidence for any of his claims?

TRUMPISTAS!!! INITIATE PHASE TWO OF CRAZY!!!!!!!!

May well have been . Pharmaceutical,s have been in bed with the politicians forever .

Can you say paranoid

Of course he did! Insane!!!

Politico on the attack because Politicos democrats are crashing & burning. Politico like other liberal media’s are working overtime to protect their democrats!

Without evidence! Con man at work!

Really go price drugs in other countries And they are responsible for the opiate crisis

Would not surpise me after SpeakerPelosi opened her trap. Always remember POTUS VP r quite privy to a whole lot of information that you in press are not. Did it not surprise you when johnrobertsFox asked Prez question on a nytimes article yesterday and he held up the report?

This guy really does say whatever the hell is rattling around between his ears!

Efforts to lower drug costs? What efforts by this corrupt, lying, traitorous administration? None.

clbjube Trump raves on about conspiracy theories! (Now the drug companies are after him!)

Ahh, but we could believe they would. Evil is lurking in America

Another 16 months of this? No worries. cc: comeonandfarce

WTF? Really? Wow!

This is hilarious. Hell Robert Wood Johnson, of Johnson &Johnson family, is his Amb to UK. Also he put a ton of money into their pocket. They LURVE him. This is some desperate move.

😂😂😂

He is getting very red-faced. Is he flustered or is the orange spray tan slipping?

He is looking for a winning adversary to whip up his flagging following, so he'll keep tossing out one after the other until one ignites them. He'll even go after his 'GOP' eventually.

He’s crazy

what’s your evidence it’s not

Sick man

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He’s such a con man. He doesn’t care if he’s right or wrong if it sounds like he’s the hero. It’s his extensive study on the literature he read. Comic books!

Justcivility waaaah, waaaah, waaaah.... sound familiar? That's what I hear EVERYTIME you speak. I bet your mom cried herself to sleep before the military school happened... but since you feel God chose YOU .... well, let us introduce you to KARMA...

trentdream He's so thirsty'

😳From TrumpedUp News: 'Big Pharma spikes America's pills biasing drugs to help bring on a Dem 2020victory!' Or..' Big Energy plans to turn off power on election night 2020 exposed!' Or 'Big Edu teaching alt facts don't exist!' Pick your latest annoyance & declare conspiracy.

He probably has evidence, but you'd never print that because it wouldn't serve your political agenda. The Dems are literally making up stuff to push an impeachment and you call it evidence pushing it without even vetting what 'Sources' give you.

Instead of trying to run them out business he should be using their products.

Trump did nothing no lower prices still killing they unborn

Marion75448155 His lies have lies now!

BREAKING FROM CNN 🚨 The “Whistleblower” is a REGISTERED DEMOCRAT. This was clearly Politically Motivated. Honestly are we really surprised?

It could also be the NRA looking for payback for Trump’s efforts to curb gun violence.

Liar

He needs meds and a straight jacket! A padded room would be good too!

Trump never says/does anything baselessly.

Hahaha 🤣

In the meantime: 1. DOW Oct 3,2018=26,951.81 2. DOW Oct 3,2019=26,201.04 3. -750.77 Loss YOY

Liar

“Without evidence...” Every single report of the BS Trump spouts should be prefaced by those words. Every single time.

Saggy,did someone not get paid off enough

We don’t care

He is throwing st at the wall and seeing if it sticks

nukkles56 Pharmaceutical companies response. “He’s on drugs”

He hasn't lowered any drug prices.

“He's caught. He's cold busted. And he's going to be impeached. Fish always flop around before they die. That's what we're seeing right now.” David Jolly

I like this script. Let him roll with it.

We need to say thanks to Trump because thanks to him we have discovered how bad a president can go before he gets removed. Also how is lacking and slow the justice. How is it possible?

Trumpublicans have done everything in their power to deny health care to those that need it most. Pushing Medicaid back to the poorest states, stating that if reelected he would be delighted to dismantle Medicare. Please read news sources. AntiHealthcare ImpeachmentNow

Bull

No actually you did it all by yourself

So you're saying trump is a liar

desparate times call for imbecilic actions.

heymaeghanrose itcould_besweet

He never has evidence

The 25th Amendment is near.

PASS THE SMELLING SALTS! I nearly fainted when I saw one of your Trump headlines begin with 'Without evidence.' What have you been waiting for?

Why must be tweet every brain fart he has a some kind of nut job conspiracy? He's obviously surrendered to the syphilis ravaging his hey matter!

I’m sure they don’t want to lower drug prices. Right? Do you have evidence that they aren’t fueling impeachment? 🤔

Lashing out at everyone and everything. Out of control
