Edit: Trump already going back on his lowering drug pledge

I think it's safe to say we can't really trust what Trump says since he flip flops everywhere. He promises it one day, and the very next day after ONE meeting, changes his mind. Classic. What a fool.

If this ends up leading to something productive (And by productive, I mean lowering drug prices without giving pharmaceutical companies tax breaks), then I see nothing wrong.

I'm not too sure if drug companies making less money is decidedly all that good.

Actually, I'd probably want the pharmaceutical industry in particular to be making as much money as possible.

It really depends where that money is going towards,

Big Pharma money is all thrown towards anti-marijuana legalization, blocking studies, and propaganda.

I can edit it. Forgive me, the drug issue is one of the few things in politics that legit makes me livid.
