“I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World,” the president posted Sunday on his social media site, pledging to sign the order on Monday morning at the White House.
“Our Country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens Healthcare Costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought of before,” Trump added. (snip)

The proposal will face fierce opposition from the pharmaceutical industry.
It was a rule that Trump tried to adopt during his first term, but could never get through. He signed a similar executive order in the final weeks of his presidency, but a court order later blocked the rule from going into effect under the Biden administration.
NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted.

Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%.
If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

Good morning, bloggers!!!
I am home today but had not planned on it.
I had a car accident Saturday morning. I was traveling east on Interstate 80 when a Dodge Charger clipped my car, causing me to spin across multiple lanes of traffic, and resting on the right hand shoulder as I avoided all vehicles.
I am sore and stiff in my left arm and shoulder but doing well considering. The car, however had to be towed. There is damage to the rear and front driver side doors. The passenger side front right and the bumper there is gone. The car can't be driven and I left it with the tow company.
After going to the ER (no broken bones, normal results from a CT scan), I went with my brother to the tow company. The driver told me that the police are holding the driver culpable. So, I am going to spend today talking to an insurance company that just gave me automated lines and no people this weekend and figure out which lawyer to choose.

REPORTER: Why are you creating an expedited path into the country for Afrikaners but not others?

TRUMP: Because they're being killed. And we don't want to see people be killed ... it's a genocide that's taking place. Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.
