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.
