Trump’s the new sheriff

Donald Trump is going after Big Pharma now and its high pricing of drugs. All of this before he even he takes office. It’s about time that the largest purchaser or user of drugs regains pricing power over the distributors and manufacturers. Finally, the government will be run as a business and not as a charity organization as it has been for many years now.

Being the biggest buyer or purchaser or products should give your purchasing power or clout like it does in the private markets. Trump is going to be the first president to take this approach. It’s about time.

First it was Northrop Grumman, then Boeing, then GM, then Ford, then Toyota, then Chrysler, then Sprint and now Big Pharma. None of this would be happening under Hillary Clinton, who would have put the final nail in the coffin for the U.S. and was the least qualified candidate to ever seek office and is why Trump, hands down, is the best thing to happen to this country, despite his rude social gestures about gender, race, handicap, etc. Hopefully, Trump will get the social aspect of being politically correct sooner than later.

Making America great again is the most important thing that this country needs at this point and time. There is a new sheriff in town, boys and girls.
