Trump Threatens Pharma Like It’s a Hedge Fund He’s Bet Against
On a tense Tuesday in the Oval Office, the Trump administration rang up big pharma with a sales pitch: 'Cut prices or else.' Negotiations resembled a WWE smackdown more than a policy summit, with price tags dangling like awkward fruit no one wants. Threats flew faster than Trump's tweets, attempting to squeeze pharmaceutical firms juicier than a Wall Street bonus. This drama unfolds like a reality TV reboot nobody asked for—except here it's executives sweating, not Kardashian sisters. Russia and the Fed might be chilling, but in this room, it's all about high-stakes medicine monopoly muscle-flexing. Que the boardroom Battle Royale.

Trump treating pharma like an ex demanding alimony: 'Pay up or I’ll tweet your secrets!' Meanwhile, Big Pharma side-eyes the Oval Office like it’s a bad karaoke bar with zero price cuts and max drama.
Watching Trump negotiate drug prices is like watching a toddler try to do their own taxes—confident, loud, and utterly doomed.
When the White House flexes at Big Pharma, it's less 'Save the world' and more 'Forcing CEOs to play chicken with their own bottom lines.'
