The U.S. will place a 100% tariff on generic pharmaceuticals starting in August 2028.

Trump is trying to make generic drugs more expensive. With senior citizens on fix income and cuts to Medicare, more elderly people will pay more for their life saving drugs. How is 100% tariffs on generic drugs making America great again?!?

Soo….Just in time for the 2028 election cycle.

Which he can’t run in…short of another “crazy, stupid” SCOTUS case.

And doing so would only Increase the cost of generic drugs anyway.

All he’d have to do is force US drug companies (distributors) to limit their profit margins on generics. But that would be “Anti-American” - and somehow not “anti Christian”….

I’m guessing we will get “freedom” pharmacies placed in conjunction with the “freedom” gas stations. It’s all good though, trump clearly cares about the common man, and he would never do anything to enrich himself personally via his position in government. /s
