• Leftist Talk Show Hosts Absolutely Livid That Trump's Dropping Drug Prices

    “The View” co-hosts Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin blew a gasket on
    Tuesday’s show, reacting to President Donald Trump reducing the cost of hundreds of prescription drugs for Americans.

    Behar and Hostin railed about drugs being added to the federal
    government’s direct-to-consumer drug site, called TrumpRx, which now
    boasts more than 600 drugs. The pair claimed that Trump had bad
    intentions, thereby discounting the achievement.

    “First of all, you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas,” Behar
    said. “Once Trump puts his name on prescriptions, we’re all going to
    die, okay? He put his name on the Trump Shuttle, the Trump Vodka, Trump University, the Trump Hotel, and my favorite, the casinos that all went bankrupt.”

    Hostin said she was in complete agreement with Behar. She called Trump
    a “failed businessman” and bizarrely excoriated the president for
    saying he wanted to make Americans “wealthy.” Trump “didn’t say
    ‘healthy,'” Hostin reasoned.

    “This is not a well-intentioned person,” she claimed. “He is not doing
    this out of the goodness of his heart!”

    The peculiar take landed the pair at odds with some of their fellow
    leftist hosts. Sara Haines, for example, praised the price drop for
    Americans, even if she dislikes Trump.

    “This helps people,” she said. “People who are literally suffering from illness and cannot pay for their medicine.”

    In return, Hostin called her “so naive.”

    Alyssa Farah Griffin also pushed back on the naysayers. “A medication I
    had to take for IVF is a tenth of the price on TrumpRx,” she explained.

    “Whatever, it’s tacky that his name is on it,” Farah Griffin continued.
    “The average family, one third of Americans cut back on essential foods
    and utilities to be able to cover their prescription drug costs.”

    “You’re not going to convince me that, just because Trump is involved,
    we should be like, ‘Screw it, don’t bring down prescription drugs,'”
    she added.

    [Remember what someone said about Trump curing cancer?
    BTW, DoJ-certified imbecile Resident Joke Biden promised
    to cure cancer if he were elected.]
    --
    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.
