President Trump

The Rock is going to live the political life that Arnold wanted to have.

 

anyone have thoughts on North and South Korea talking / shaking hands? South Korea says Trump was key to the talks happening (I don't know to what extent).

If he is the main person and North Korea gives up nukes (both very big Ifs), he's due for a Noble Peace Prize. I know he'd never get it, but would be more than worthy. Obama got one for giving a neat speech while bombing other countries every day of his 8 years in office.

 

I don’t believe a thing coming out of North Korea. I think they think we’re all stupid because our representative is a caricature of American stereotypes. I’m waiting for Kim Jong-un to jump out from behind a giant curtain at any moment as it slides back to reveal a pile of armed nukes ready to go while yelling

Spoiler: Language

 

Trump went after Big Pharma today. One of the main things he is trying to do is lower the time generic brands and competing brands must wait until they can compete with new meds. I could be wrong, but I think right now they have to wait 6 months. Rx meds are WAY TOO EXPENSIVE, so I'm happy to see him go after them. I'd like to see us be able to get Rx from other countries, but I wonder about the quality. Maybe the FDA can approve 10 or 20 countries that we can negotiate with to lower prices.

 

I use a rescue inhaler for asthma. Here, on my plan the unit costs $40 and is only available by prescription. In Kenya, the exact same unit is available at pharmacies without a prescription for $3.

 

Not going to lie. I'm ok with the 20 year thing. Like Sirron said, it takes a lot of money and research to make these drugs. Yes, they overcharge, but if you created something and 6 months later anyone else could make it and sell the exact same thing, that'd suck.

 

Meek Mill will no longer be attending a White House summit on prison reform on Friday (May 18), according to TMZ.

Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver remarks at the summit, and Meek felt that appearing alongside the president could distract from his message of bringing positive change to the criminal justice system.

Meek provided a statement to TMZ to explained his change of heart.

“I was originally scheduled to be part of a panel on Prison Reform at the White House to help shed light on the issues within the system. Unfortunately, the focus turned to the President and Myself which concerned me that it might take away from creating a positive result from today’s discussions. As a result, I decided not to attend so that the focus would be solely on fixing our prison system. Most importantIy I remain fully committed to improving our criminal justice system.”

TMZ also reports the decision came after JAY-Z called his Roc Nation artist to discourage him from the visit.

Meek also reportedly got calls from other “high-profile African-Americans” who advised him against it.

You can't complain that you're left out when you refuse to join the discussion when invited. Obstruct! Obstruct! Obstruct!

 

Trump pardoned former heavyweight champion Jack Johnson today.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday issued a pardon for the late boxer Jack Johnson, an African-American convicted a century ago for the crime of taking a woman across state lines, saying the move corrected a wrong in American history.

The heavyweight champion was arrested in 1912 with Lucille Cameron, a white woman who would later become his wife, for violating the Mann Act, a law that had passed two years earlier in response to a morality campaign.

 

Shocker

 

Tamed a continent...



I really hope that was an idiotic poor choice of words and he’s referring to the land or buffalo or something, because if he’s taking about people...
