It's a long, boring... wait, no, it's a long exciting story about US healthcare! - Trump

"Donald Trump appeared to be about to refer to his lengthy discussion of US healthcare, drug prices and the new 'Great Healthcare Plan' as a 'long boring story' - before quickly stopping himself - as he spoke with the media in DC on Friday. " Isn't that an amazing, long story? I was going to say long, boring. It's not boring. To me, it's long and exciting. It's the biggest thing to happen to healthcare," he said, saving himself. The administration says the plan will lower prices and premiums, hold insurance companies accountable and mean better transparency in the system."

I'm getting off this cr*p! - Trump appears to junk his own notes for 'not explaining it properly' during 'Great Healthcare Plan' reveal

"Donald Trump appeared to be frustrated with his own notes - saying they 'didn't explain it properly' - as he spoke about his Great Healthcare Plan in DC on Friday. "I would say, Bobby, every drug, essentially, it doesn't have to be in that proportion. In some cases it's much worse, because what happened… I might as well get off this crap because it doesn't explain it properly," he said, before continuing 'off-the-cuff' about high drug prices in the US and why he thought other nations used to get a better deal. "What happened is these countries are very smart, and the drug companies would go to them, and they said, look, we're paying $10 for the pill. We're not paying more. Charge America. And this happened one time, then the next year, the next year - this is over 40 years. All of a sudden they're paying ten dollars for a pill and we're paying like 130 dollars for the same pill.," he said. The administration says the new plan will lower prices and premiums, hold insurance companies accountable and mean better transparency in the system. "

I may put a tariff on countries if they don't go along with Greenland - Trump

I may put a tariff on countries if they don't go along with Greenland - Trump

"Donald Trump quipped that he "may put a tariff on countries if they don't go along with Greenland" - and even joked "that'll end up being the story" - as he announced his Great Healthcare Plan in DC on Friday. He was discussing how he had threatened tariffs on European countries who did not raise their drug prices - which he has argued will bring down prices for US consumers. "I called Germany. No, no, no, we will not do that. I said, no, we're going to put a 25 percent tariff, which is, by the way, about seven times more than they would have to pay by raising their drug. Like, seven times. This wasn't like a little bit more. Seven times more." he said. "And I may do that for Greenland, too. I may put a tariff on countries if they don't go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security." "So I may do that. I'll give you a little. I'll talk about it. I'll take you out of that. In fact, that will end up being the story," he added. It comes amid his ongoing row with Europe over Greenland, with Trump repeatedly insisting he needs to take over the Danish territory. This week, NATO countries sent a handful of troops - 15 from France, 13 from Germany and one each from the UK and Netherlands - leading to media outlets questioning and joking about the nature of the commitment. The White House insisted it wouldn't change Trump's mind."

My friend takes ozempic, he's fatter than ever! - Trump

My friend takes ozempic, he's fatter than ever! - Trump

"Donald Trump joked that his 'friend' takes ozempic - the slimming jab - but he was 'fatter than ever' - as he unveiled his 'Great Healthcare Plan' in DC on Friday. "He took the fat, I call it the fat drug, I won't give you which one it was, it was ozempic, I won't tell you that," Trump quipped. He was discussing how his rich friend 'worth hundreds of millions, billions of dollars' paid much more for the drug in the US than abroad. "He said, it's the exact same drug. And because of his wealth and his business smarts, he had it checked. It was made in the same plant by the same company. It's identical. And here I pay $87, and in New York, I pay $1,300. So, it was too much to bear," he said. "Because after I told him that the drug does not work on him, because I saw him recently, he's actually fatter than ever. I said, the drug is not working on you. You're going to have to go to something else. But it does work on a lot of people," Trump joked. The administration says the new plan will lower prices and premiums, hold insurance companies accountable and mean better transparency in the system. "
