Donald Trump announces tariffs on pharmaceuticals are next:
“We’re going to tariff our pharmaceuticals... Once we do that, they’re going to come rushing back into our country, because we’re the big market.”
35% of US pharmaceuticals are imported btw, people are going to die
Good
FIRE FUCKING EVERYTHING!
Ah, once again. Tariffs implemented without an accompanying change in industrial policy.
We should sell our medicines to europeans and Russians
Kek, I don't even care that it hurts our industry if the amerilards all go either bankrupt or die.
We deserve what’s about to happen
people are going to die
They are going to GIVE him a national security emergency then?
You are a very naive shill.
I dont think this fucking retard understands why pharmaceuticals are coming from outside the country. All you dumbass fat obese boomers are fucked
The ~free market~ will fix it, appears to be the logic in play
Good. People reliant on medication deserve to die. Genetic piss in the gene pool
Maybe he wants total boomer death.
They don’t care. They know people will pay it.
My life saving medicine is 25% more
guess Im dying
No way the invest millions building US factories when Trump will be gone in 3 years
such a shame trump is going to poison himself to death soon, very sad, happens all the time!
fucking with big pharma is like biting the jew clit. they’ll take everything under the sun because who gives a shit. go after their drugs and you’re fucking dead
We will get turbo globalism in 2028, it will put Clinton to shame, the outcome will be equally as disastrous because China will refuse to lift the tariffs
It’s batshit insane this was ever allowed to be all made overseas.
Subsidies. Slave labour. Massive gouging on arbitrage.
This. Tariffs can encourage reindustrialisation etc but they have to be implemented strategically, can just shotgun the fuckers all over. So many industries have huge tails and often run on jit provisioning. Eg that car factory need to source, steel, rubber, electronics, software etc etc, takes time to onshore everything reqd.
Moving pharma manufacturing into the US is of highest national priority. We can't do war if women are killing everybody because their Xanax has been embargoed
I need my medicine tho :/
We have 3.5 years to fix everything or it won't happen
can
*cant
big big market
with a
big big crunch
Remember, a dozen Democrats like Corey Booker voted against a bill that would allow drug imports from Canada because safety regulations aren't as close to the US.
But they allowed imports from India to continue.
I heard about this book, supposedly it's about how broken the Indian pharmaceutical industry is. They either don't have correct doses of generic drugs, they're contaminated, or just filler. That's also along with how contaminated their facilities are.
You don't want important shit like this made in other countries.
$15,000 insulin
American Exceptionalism is one hell of a drug. We are sooo going to be turbo socialist lefties when this guy's term is up.
POL IS RIGHT AGAIN!
all Amerifats die
more space for the entire Indian subcontinent to move in
Trust the plan.
thats smart because vital medicine is something consumers can do without.
Trump already said he'll negotiate tariffs, I don't see why India would be any different.
No companies is going to spend billions to build in the US when tariffs can be dropped next week.
Industrialization would take about 12-20 years optimistically.
We are no longer in the optimistic outlook
free market
tariffs
Have Republicans been retarded all along? I notice they mostly stopped quoting Thomas Sowell in the past few months.
Anon Babble is always right without exception
Pretty soon we are not going to have access to penicillin. MAHA
I get that, but the market only moves on events after they happen. Businessmen aren't psychic, y'know? Proactively getting them started, discussing with leaders of pharmaceutical firms about what they'd need to realistically make American medical manufacturing self-sufficient and working to make ensure those requirements are met... that would've made sense! I would've supported that!
Hell, it would've made Trump look like a smooth businessmen who makes canny deals. It would've played to his ego! Fucking dammit.
because we’re the big market.
Yes, keep Americans drugged up and the cash flowing to big pharma.
Thats basically why markets all over the world are going nuts, nothing gives them the shits like uncertainty.
US citizens don't belong on chink made meds faggot, no wonder everyone's so crazy in the west eating that poison.
They had months to start doing this they knew what he planned.
remember his first term when he made it so Americans could get meds from other countries for very cheap prices?
remember when he campaigned in both 2020 and 2024 on how he lowered drug prices for americans?
i remember
medicine
The word is drugs you dumb leaf. Pharmaceutical companies are drug dealers.
Letting foreigners build all your shit isn’t right wing. It’s just treasonous.
They think they can use punitive market interventions without government incentives or investment to encourage growth, and they think everything will work itself out in the end.
It’s some kind of BDSM free-market policy. It’s not coherent.
Cults of personalities don’t end well
They’re building a massive plant in Ontario to mass produce stem cells . That might actually be medicine.
Trump is a dumb retard
Neoliberal economics is a nation wrecking religion. Always was.
people are going to die
billions must
Are fruits and vegetables rotting in the fields yet?
And the president
It's quite foolish how republicans embraced excessive tariffs but not central planning. The free market ain't bringing the factories back, so start subsidizing their construction
HAHAHAHAHA
Mutts weren't paying enough for medication already
Pay up more
HAHAHAHA
This wouldn't have been a problem if we never gave up our pharma industry overseas in the first place. Tariffs are needed to bring pharma manufacturing back. They will not on their own. We need to start making medicine in the US and be less reliant on overseas supplies.
We are the second largest manufacturer in the world by a large margin. It could be done in 2.5 years
Yes, but proper planning and policy changes could've prevented a sizable portion of the pain these tariffs will bring!
The free market ain't bringing the factories back
Not so "free" then is it now?
Under a "free market" someone would see the opportunity to make a profit and invest only could regulations (controls) stop them from doing so.
Coulda shoulda woulda.
Government should direct and incentivize and coordinate industry to build the factories and THEN do the tariffs. Trump has it backwards and it’s going to fuck us all.
Did the countries with tariffs on the US say the same thing when they implemented the initial tariffs?
our $3000 insulin jabs are going to cost $3500 now
Womp womp
Yes and no.
If you acknowledge how corrupt the system has come you understand you need the other side of the equation to overthrow it, while you cut off the funding for "opposition".
good. medicine should be made in the usa.
and also every last jew needs to be utterly destroyed and to the last.
Medications aren't the issue. Medical care is what's expensive because like everything, jews cornered the market
I dunno, you go read some history and tell me whether they had local industry before tariffs.
Imagine Vietnam, crawling out of the war of US aggression, decides it wants to become a strong manufacturing economy, and so it sets up tariffs and does nothing else.
How many years would that take?
How many lives lost along the way due to high costs?
How do you know they aren't? The specific materials being targeted are crucial to the DOD. I can guarantee contracts are being issued to supply domestically-produced aluminum and steel.
Compared to just dropping the tariffs on everybody without preparation?
Oh thank goodness we’ll be able to build our death drones.
let's just ask the mega corps nicely to return
Explain how you would get companies to produce domestically. Financial strain and low taxes are the only way.
people are going to die
that is literally the point.
We have the cards and we can destroy them so they should better say please and thank you.
Or else.....
Who cares? How many lives will be lost if we can't get shipments in the upcoming WW3? This ultimately will affect Canada too. We need production on the continent.
Orange retard fucks everything up again
I hope yall retards die if cancer
lmao, jews are gonna be pissed
I always see comments about $40 aspirin or acetaminophen on their bill. Who the fuck is actually taking or accepting those in the ER?
If your pain is bad enough to end up in the ER, at least get some vicodin or morphine.
Aren't they just taxing their own product? Why doesn't anyone mention tariffs are taxes anymore?
Americans were fine with Ozempic, they can give it up.
Yeah, losing a war would be way better. What do you think happens to the US when we lose reserve currency status? It becomes a free for all with kikes buying up everything left that they don't currently own. See what happened to Germany after WW1
Wait there was some time he announced it weeks before doing so even gave the car companies extra time when hey asked.
Generic ozempic is already available from the chinks. Congrats, you just got your first lesson in how those parasites do business and respect patents.
when we lose reserve currency status
Our current economic policy will get us there regardless.
Do docs in the USA still give pills like oxycodon out like candy or are those times over?
That’s done. They mostly just give you ibuprofen now.

Trump tried to correct this by forcing the hospitals to disclose pricing upfront. It was a great idea that democrats didn't kill, but last I heard it was still hung up in court.
Next tariff should be on funeral services so that only rich people can afford to die.
We need production on the continent.
Yes because that would be used as a pretext to getting a country to go to war
If we take x we will control y
Like taking taiwan to control the semi conductor industry.
Please note the "environmentalists" ARE COMPLETELY FUCKING SILENT in their support for lowing the worldwide carbon output with all this by "making it locally".
All the grifts are being outed right now for all to see.
It's pretty restricted now. A few businesses have been sued over their distribution of pills.
Not so many doctors have been charged though even when writing dozens of prescriptions for patients every month.
There are special 'pain clinics' where you can do to get meds like oxys prescribed by unscrupulous jews. They're corrupt as fuck and not part of the normal medical system. Actual doctors are hesitant to prescribe these anymore.

Subsidizing factories doesn't do shit except spend more government money to unfinished projects. Every subsidized program under current business practices has been slowed down or made much more expensive than originally budgeted. See California High Speed Rail and Rural Internet Access projects. Also to see the effects of subsidies, see the CHIPS Act that was supposed to bring back semiconductor manufacturering, but hasn't even begin after 4 years, even though all the tech companies took the money and then issued stock buybacks. The best you'll get is just token factories that barely produce anything just to show Congressmen they did something, but the majority of trade of those goods still comes from overseas. One of the only ways for capitalism to do anything but profit maxxing by outsourcing away from the United States is through tariffs. Subsidies will not change global economics and force companies to do real business here.

Hey, setting up hi-tech manufacturing is a slow fucking process.
I shilled for Brandon thoughbeit. Everyone else deserves what happens for not supporting the scrappy kid from Scranton
Needs a realistic parody cover so a post isn't needed to describe contents that denizens of the internet would likely be interested in if they knew how much it would buff their racism.
California High Speed Rail
This was so corrupt that it was shut down by CA voters, so the feds stepped in and said "we'll have the rest of the country subsidize this stupid grift"
people are going to die
Nah, they'll just continue pricing at the maximal supply and demand point.
b-but mega billionaires are g-gonna s-suffer
Nah, they'll keep the price where they can make sales. Most foreign medicine isn't even covered by insurance, so they can't even get a free ride.
The idea that tariffs go straight to consumers has been retarded from day 1, as nobody is going to break the laws of supply and demand to just stop making money.

this (You) farmer always scores big and you faggots gobble it up
Also, chips was stupid. We're still moving forward with the projects that makes sense, and tranny bullshit like foxcon are being told to pound sand
A lot them didnt have tariffs, trump is counting trade imbalances and VAT as "tariffs"
Trump is surely not doing this with environmentalism in mind, and he just signed an executive order attacking state regulations on fossil fuel energy production.
Who didn't? I noticed this was a point that shills kept pushing on here, so I asked and one said 'Japan'. I looked it up and they were wrong and lying. So please give examples.
No they wont, your health insurance will just go up to cover the cost.
tranny bullshit
foxcon
what
At least we still have guns and BLM land, so we can just walk into the wilderness and end ourselves.
VAT is totally not a tariff BTW. Just like Canadian dairy "industry protections" are not a tariff.
kinda surprised pharma manufacturing isnt considered a national security priority
There are chemicals that are quite literally not possible to source from anywhere besides China. Even if you move factories here they can’t wave a magic wand and make the chemicals themselves
VAT is something Europeans pay on purchases from the EU. Americans dont pay it.
The niche they were playing in isn't needed. Other, better capitalized and not on the brink of collapse companies are working on low energy chips. They really shouldn't have pushed so hard on the green energy angle. I really don't understand how Qualcom isn't already making what they're trying to do, but it's been a while since I looked into investing or shorting this company so I don't remember all of the details except their positioning seemed too narrow and vulnerable to established players.
Isnt the reason people buy non American medicine because health insurance fuck us over and its super expensive ? Wtf is he trying to accomplish here?!!
No, I mean the 'tranny' thing, that was the part that tripped me up. I understood the rest of your post.
1) I don't believe this
2) if true, we should have liberated China a decade ago
Trump is surely not doing this with environmentalism in mind
Ah so only WHEN it is with IT in mind do they support it, thanks again grift confirmed.
Global tariffs here
en.m.wikipedia.org
and trump himself said the vat bit.
more obese and unhealthy Americans that can't walk 20 feet without dying will now die in their homes because they'll no longer be able to afford the medicine that keeps their goyslop riddled bodies afloat
Based?
People are going to die for this retards greed if this is true
The green and tranny cults have a big venn overlap. I throw tranny around very liberally when it's obvious this board is being raided by certain discord "people"
What country is being tariffed that didn't have one on us? You made the claim, I'm not arguing about VAT - I just know to price in an additional 20% for bullshit taxes when I'm in Europe
BOOMERS ARE LOSING MONEYYYY

Here's a thought.
How about offer companies stuff like:
Land grants
Tax breaks
Various subsidies
Streamlined process to production via a fast lane to clear all necessary paperwork that can normally take years
Build factories yourself and lease them for companies
When you have some initial contracts in place or at bare minimum letters of intent, then you start carefully applying tariffs on selected industries to speed up the return of industry..
That is how you can invite in business in a controlled manner.
Just blanket tariffing everything to shit at practically zero notice is fucking insane.
US has no alternatives for a lot of the stuff they're buying, so the foreign companies can force the US consumer to eat 100% of the tariff cost and even more if they feel like it, because what the hell are they going to do, not buy things that are needed like truck parts for the transportation sector?
This has been the most retarded way of handling the subject I can think of and it's all because Trumps brain, like with all other boomers, is still stuck in the 80s.
35% of US pharmaceuticals are imported btw, people are going to die
Psycho white bitches and schizo niggers loosing their SSRIs and diazaphrene on the same day.
Whhoo hooo! What a show.
People are going to die for this retards greed if this is true
Hope so. parasites get the pill.
Ozempic costs 20 dollars to import but it sells for hundreds because of US pharmaceutical companies being unchecked. Tariffs mean nothing
Where will I get my rhino horn powder now???
Tariffs arent set country by country, theyre set globally under wto rules, so if for eg burundi has a 5% tariff, its on all imports from anywhere. Thats unless trading blocks set different rates for block members eg the eu, or have negotiated favoured trading partner deals. The eu offered the US a zero for zero deal and got knocked back.
can he stop being a weirdo for a second?
literally kills all of reddit
b-b-based
Trump does not give a shit about reducing emissions and he has a bunch of other policies that increase emissions so it does not matter if his reshoring policy via tariffs could eventually decrease emissions from transport.
Under a "free market" someone would see the opportunity to make a profit
If I could just have slaves to pick my cotton I wouldn't need these bitchy Irish.
How can a schizo become president? Is this the American DEI thing?
soon Americans will all be off their meds
well that ain't gonna end well
I've dodged direct immediate impact by all of these decisions but I have people I care about who need medicine :/ not cool Trumpo-san...
people are going to die
Should have cut goyslop earlier in life
right, you can't answer the question because your claim is bullshit
Japan is playing theater with the US right now. You guys and those gay worst Koreans are going to be fine and the first countries we make a deal with.
