Trump says he's taking 'revolutionary' action to lower drug prices, allowing Medicare to negotiate directly with drug companies


President Trump said his administration is taking immediate action to stop the ��global freeloading�� by foreign nations when it comes to the price that American patients are paying for prescription drugs.

In a speech Thursday afternoon at the Department of Health and Human Services, Trump said his administration would be taking the ��revolutionary�� move of allowing Medicare to directly negotiate prices with drug companies who he says have ��rigged�� the system, causing U.S. patients to pay more for their medicines.

U.S. will deploy 5,200 additional troops to the Mexican border, officials say, more than tripling the military presence there


The development comes as several thousand Central American migrants make their way through Mexico toward the United States. Though they remain hundreds of miles from the border, President Trump suggested in a tweet Monday that the mass of people represents an "invasion" of the United States, warning them "our Military is waiting for you!"

Correct me if i'm wrong but if they somehow manage, against all odds, to keep the entire caravan out of the good ole US of A does that not disprove the need for a wall?

There was a time way back when a free press was an integral part of a democracy. Now, they are the "enemy of the people" which is clearly a symptom of a failing democracy.

One of the finer principles of democracy that involved checks and balances...and what is now a foreign word: accountability.

Assuming the caravan ever reaches the US. I doubt that it progresses more than 20 km per day and it started about 3000 km from the US border.
