yeah, they were clearly talking about it. Seems the deal isnt happening.

Thing is trump is routinely talking about the US buying into companies, the fact that 1/2 the time he's full of shit doesnt change that they are indeed looking at doing more. 3 so far

Amazing what a get out of jail card can do for your attitude !

Maxwell said she "admires Trump's extraordinary achievement in becoming the President now," and she further reiterated Trump has "absolutely never, in any context" done anything inappropriate.

Here's Trump playing stupid again... claims he didn't hear anything about a certain supreme court ruling today... I guess he actually fools some people with this obvious BS... :lmao:

Trump: "Who are we talking about? You know, I haven't heard the name in so long."

Local Walmart in Seminole County. I paid that last week. I note Aldi was slightly higher. About $2.59 as I recall. I don't shop Publix. They are typically a ripoff. Great bakery though. Winn Dixie for beef.

Credit where its due, there are some short term benefits to strong-arming the world with tariff threats.
(long term I think many of these efforts will fizzle as tariffs are rarely a long term solution)

It remains to be seen though, its not yet a reality and its a limited number of drugs.
Are they just telling him what he wants to hear to stretch things out for 3 years like so many others have done?

....I still think that there is a question mark surrounding how onerous the tariffs would actually be, particularly for European Union-based drugs companies,” Streeter said.

Meanwhile, U.S.-based financial services and investment research firm Morningstar said in a Sept. 25 report that tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals would likely have only a limited long-term effect on major drugmakers.

Sadly, the airline industry is much like so many things nowadays, absolutely NO SELF-AWARENESS, no objective introspection.

The Trump tariffs were always a negotiating tool to get America a better deal. I'm not sure how anyone could miss that and think these were long term and set in stone. Never did understand the hysterics and anyone who knows anything about negotiating knows that persuasion by leverage is Negotiating 101. It is true that we do not know the long term implications but handing everyone a jar of Vaseline and bending over is never a good negotiating tactic. The old strategy of being an unpaid whore was not working. I like that we have someone who is trying and using tried and true methods to get a better deal.
