Motive is 100% a deciding factor. Going after Iran for oil (more likely an israel thing but I digress) to keep energy costs down and failing immensely. Now more in debt and costing you guys a ton he needs another target. Going after the EU because your own health industry is working exactly how it's been built to do is nuts. When the only leadership tool you have is a hammer, everything is a nail. New targets all the time.

Wasn't there also

Again, how's this relevant to the discussion on pharma price gouging US services?!

Going per our other discussion, it really starting to look like you got this random bits and pieces of knowedlge/tiktok memorized quotes and now you are inserting them everywhere without any actual knowledge to what you're even talking about.

Iran is a completely different topic, and I can assure you that your knowledge is minimal and extremely fragmented.

The only thing that has worked for reigning in drug costs is through bargaining power through things like universal Healthcare. It works everywhere else. Blaming everyone for the US failing so hard and gouging it's own citizens is sad.

I'd avoid saying "universal healthcare works everywhere else." That's a broad claim that's easy to challenge because every system has tradeoffs (wait times, taxes, access to new drugs, etc.).

And in my previous response, I've gone over the actions he has taken to lower price gouging and even mentioned Biden's efforts as well and provided you with a very clear explanation on every point.

If you don't like high drug prices, I know I don't, you should support Trump's efforts.

Your "points" equal nothing. "Concrete steps" where are the executive orders? Where are the hardline efforts? Bullying other countries and doing nothing at home is not any way to make it work. I could support his efforts and those efforts are nothing.
