Pretty sure the flow chart for identifying scams goes.

The Venn diagram is a circle
I wouldn't say that... there are indeed scams out there that aren't related to trump... at least not until the scammer gets caught and trump pardons him.
So would be more accurate to say on the ven diagram, the trump circle is completely inside of the scams circle, (though the scams circle is certainly bigger than the trump one).
No, the flow goes from the President's diapee, into that lady's nose, and then all the reporters have to leave
This is the first time I've heard of "TrumpRx", and let me say, goddamn, Trump is one stupid bastard piece of shit. He really called it "TrumpRx" with his own name in it. He obviously doesn't realize that "Obamacare" is actually the "Affordable Care Act", and that it was Obama's political opponents who first called it "Obamacare."
Trump is a walking fucking joke.
As an aside, I always hated how Dems completely caved on the terminology of the ACA. They should've been saying the words "Affordable Care Act" at every turn, keeping the actual goal of the whole thing more in the popular consciousness. Going along with calling it "Obamacare" implicitly accepted the GOP's framing of the bill and allowed them to more easily control the narrative.
It was in keeping with how they totally caved on the actual underlying policy and accepted the GOP's ideas there too at least
Yeah the Rs were determined to make it as bad as they could so they could point at it later and say how bad it was.
The Dems were also determined to make it as bad as they could so that it wouldn't affect their donors or rock the boat in any way. That's why they used Mitt Romneys healthcare plan to "gain bipartisan support" despite it not being needed with zero Republicans voting for it.
We could have had single-payer but instead we're left with largely the same model we had prior except now more of our tax dollars get funneled to insurance companies in the name of "subsidized healthcare."
As I recall, Obama ultimately made peace with the name. He said "I kind of like the name, because I do care!"
Only Republicans would think "Hey, that guy cares!" might be an insult.
And ego wins the day, once more.
Democratic Party politicians and caving on things: name a more iconic duo
He really, really loves to put his name on things. Any publicity is good publicity for him, considering he became the president through kayfabe and nepotism
As if he could resist making it into a scam to benefit him directly.
I think that every time he takes a dump he asks himself how he can profit off it.
Everything made or initiated by Trump is a scam.
"...question if it's a giant scam..."
Right, ask this one question:
"Does the {whatever} have the word tRUMP involved in or near it or have the obese orange paedo involved or near it?"
If the answer is no, then it's possibly not a scam.
If it's a yes then it's DEFINITELY a scam. Definitely.
No ifs or buts, it's just a scam. Could be blatant, or disguised very intricately but it's definitely a scam all the same.
If? You have to ask?
Let's do the math:
The president of a nation wants to run his own "cheapo" pharmacy. Said president loves Mammon more than his own children. If you don't know what Mammon is, Google it.
Big Pharmacy also loves Mammon more than their own kids.
Yeah. It's a scam. Idiots.
Of course I know what Mammon is....
Yes. There solved it for them.
Great, now your daily medication will be under the capricious supervision of Trump. Hope you don't take anything that your life or well-being depends on.
"Sorry, we can't give out your insulin, according to our data you said something negative about president Trump on Reddit three years ago."
Exactly.
The ICEstapo scanned your face while you were recording them doing crimes, sorry, no life-saving meds for insurrectionists.
If you order estradiol it gets hand delivered by five angry men with tiny teens, big guns, and bigger egos
Trump + words out of his mouth = lie. It's a law of metaphysics at this point.
It's a Trump deal, of course it's a scam.
... and, assuming it is, why aren't they getting their cut?
TrumpRx delayed, ~~as senators question if it's~~ a giant scam with Big Pharma
Fixed.
...and ask how they get cut in on the scam.
Anything with Trump's name attached is a GRIFT! No exceptions.
They'll all bend the knee.
100%. There will be a little questioning, maybe some token resistance, but it'll get just enough Democrat support to pass.
*if*, lol
How is any of this the least bit legal? And why in the fuck is it named after him?
He's jealous of Obamacare catching on as a name
And here the cons are showing themselves to be snowflakes again - they tried the same thing with ACA as they did with Hillary and "Hillarycare", hoping to attach a name to it to scare off morons - you don't want healthcare coming from a woman, they have cooties! They thought they could scare off most of the country by tying ACA to the black guy and thus sink the whole thing. So they kept repeating "Obamacare, Obamacare" at every turn for years and years, even long after it passed.
Turns out most people like having health care. And they like ACA, AKA, "Obamacare". It polls well. Yeah, as every liberal knew before and could tell you ever since - it's hardly perfect, it came from Romney and Heritage Foundation, and so on. Still, it's better than the nothing that the conservatives offered.
Now a jagoff like Donvict is jealous that it's commonly known as Obamacare instead of ACA.
🤣
TrumpRNuts
TrumpRX might be the ONLY good thing Trump has ever done for consumers, but I constantly see articles like this and Democrats pick it apart in favor of...our current prescription system?
There's a reason Mark Cubans cost plus drugs is revolutionary for low income folks and even myself.
If trumprx is a good system I will sing its praises in the same sentence I call him a kid fucker.
Definitely a mood
Narrator: "It was, but it didn't matter."
I think that they are going to try to do something with the weight loss drug. Like basically offer it super cheap to win over fat Americans. Cause most of us are over weight. Trump has already mentioned this drug multiple times.
But I really doubt that deal will happen. Some European county (Norway?) owns it. And they won't budge on the inflated price.
