TRUMP

[Dingus]

A White House meeting with pharmaceutical executives that President Trump said would occur on Tuesday is now off, people familiar with the matter said.

A pharmaceutical industry source said "there was concern that this would not have been a productive meeting" and that companies are still discussing how to move forward after Trump signed a series of executive orders on Friday taking aim at drug prices.

Trump had announced during Friday's signing ceremony that there would be a meeting at the White House with industry executives on Tuesday, which he said would give drug companies a chance to propose an alternative to one of his executive orders. Drug companies, however, never publicly confirmed that they would attend the meeting.


The White House on Monday indicated it was still interested in having the meeting, but it appears that drug company executives do not want to move forward, at least not yet.

"The White House has been more than accommodating in attempts to schedule this meeting," a White House official said.

The executive order in question would lower the prices Medicare pays for certain drugs by tying them to lower prices in other countries. Trump said Friday he would delay the order from going into effect until Aug. 25 to give companies time to propose an alternative.

"We’re going to see them on Tuesday," Trump said last week. "We’ll see if we can do something here."

Another issue cited by the pharmaceutical industry source was the fact that the White House has not released the text of the executive order in question.

"We don't even know what we're negotiating against," the source said.
The White House has declined to say when it will release the text.

More broadly, there is a question as to when any executive order on drug prices would go into effect. Further steps in the regulatory process would likely have to play out, making it unclear when or even if any changes will take effect and lead to lower drug costs for consumers.

Democrats have dismissed the executive orders as election year stunts that have no real teeth.

WORLD WAR II ended because of SPANISH FLU. 50 to a 150 million he said were dying and the WAR was stopped because of EPIDEMIC.
Ya know a lot of PRESIDENTS weren't exactly brilliand minds. But that's why you pic Advisers that do research for you. Not just spout history with not knowin one thin about it. Hows that ILLETERATE PRESS SECRETARY doin. She probably covered that INANE remark by sayin, DUMBELL meant: SPANISH AMERICAN WAR.
There has never been a STUPITER PRESIDENT than this DRAFT DODGIN JAGOFF.

If they go after his business and him for money laundering then he's automatic jail and the thing is. Bank documents and a trail of paperwork do not lie.  Those crimes are easy to prove. Who knows. It sure is odd that Deutchebank loaned him billions of dollars when he has defaulted and that many of his condos in Trump towers were sold to Russians for cash.

I guess we will find out down the line whether that is true or not

"How many mail boxes will be removed by MAGA Trumpers in black lives matters areas during the vote."

Yes, I know this is from Fox, but it is a perfect example of how the media and the dems turn an issue into an all out assault on Trump.    This time Pelosi and Chuck are calling an emergency recall of the house, because Trump is appointing people to USPS, to rig the election. 

Interested to know what your perception was on this mail in ballot issue, before reading the article, and after.

DeJoy and his wife, Aldona Wos, have significant investments in companies that do business with or compete with the Postal Service. According to disclosures filed with the Office of Government Ethics, the couple hold between $30.1 million and $75.3 million in such investments, mostly in XPO Logistics, where DeJoy was a director until 2018.

1) If these significant investments are real, you confirm they have been disclosed  ******    I don't know how the ethics committee works, but if they didn't stop it, I'll assume it isn't an issue.   

2) The president of the United States does not control the operations of the Postal Service nor does he select or appoint the Postmaster General. The Board of Governors does both of these things. The Postal Regulatory Commission sets rates, service levels and decides on postal closings, not the president.
The governors are appointed by a president and confirmed by the United States Senate. No more than five of the nine governors may be from the same political party.
******   that sounds like plenty of oversight with respect to USPS decisions and operations   ********
