The OP is a BoB. If the world doesn't completely fall apart he'll make a thread about it as a job well done

Orange menace must not have any money invested in those companies. They aren't making money for him, so they shouldn't be making anything.

nah. He just doesn't understand what medicine does, but he does know his own are expensive. He's probably using statines for cholesterol or something for high blood pressure, considering he's overweight.
Trump isn't smart enough to truly lie about stuff that affects him. That letter of his health that he wrote was basically as much as saying "I have had cancer, do use drugs, and am not that healthy". He's probably had skin cancer, since that's fairly common with people who tan a lot, and he's 70 to boot.
You know what's really funny? A real doctor would have managed to hide that.
Dr. Trump could always cut out vaccines entirely to save some dough:
... Of course he's anti vaccine.
Is InfoWarz his homepage? Jesus Christ.
I'd say it's more that he has the fecal Midas touch.

The point is to absolve themselves from any guilt after their shitty political ideology lead them down the path of voting for Trump

It still blows my mind that Hillary Clinton, who herself has a sketchy history with alternative medicine, was the only pro-vaccine candidate of among Stein, Johnson, and Trump. Such a horribly depressing time to be an immunology researcher or pediatrician.
Everything Trump says is meaningless. He's held opposite views on every single issue, often in the same week. He finally said something hopeful on climate change only to suggest an oil lobbyist from Oklahoma run the EPA.
There's no comfort in anything he says because his actions will always betray any positive message he puts out.

Just a direct link to Trump's tweet about autism and vaccines, for the convenience of anyone (hopefully everyone) else who would be trying to verify it before commenting on it. He did say it, the fucking idiot.

In the past month my prescription cost has doubled! DOUBLED! From $60 which is already way too much to $120!!!!
Something is seriously wrong in this country if my family wasn't so well off how are other people getting by? They aren't, that's why healthcare costs is the leading cause of bankruptcy.

You could get a lot of good data by having mass-market clinical trials of hundreds of thousands or millions of patients.

The fact that you think there was an "angle" I was going for says more about you than it does about me. I just saw something and commented on it. You're the one looking for an agenda where none exists, when you should be wondering what you still stand for after your candidate was defeated by Donald Trump.
You don't seem to feel any guilt that your terrible candidate that everyone warned you that nobody liked managed to lose to Trump in the biggest upset in American political history. So I guess if you feel no guilt I don't feel like I should have any either. You should take responsibility for yourself before you throw stones at others.
Exactly. Talk is cheap, meds aren't.

Is his son one of those cases? He takes vaccines being the cause of autism very personally.
The problem with Trump on stuff like this, is he is absolutely right on the problem(very few of these so we are clear), but his general ignorance on so many topics surrounding the issue opens him up for misdiagnosing the cause and botching the treatment.
Especially when you look at who is around him and the party he has to work with.
My guess is the ultimate result will be a neutering of the FDA and superficial promises from the drug companies, who were already in the process of culling their gouging due to the growing outrage from Americans and the larger spotlight. But he will NEVER do the sensible thing like let Medicare negotiate drug prices or the crazy thing he suggested of allowing Americans to import the same prescription drugs from Europe.

Wat?
I'll toss all the stones I want at people who helped trump win. I played no part in his victory and your shitty attempt at logic does not change this.
Come on, man. You can't claim the absence of an agenda and then launch into an attack on Clinton at the slightest provocation. It's transparently hypocritical.
It's fine to have an agenda. But if you really were BoB during the campaign, you got what you wanted: Bust. I'm not sure why you feel compelled to grasp at the thinnest of straws Trump is offering you.
lmao... your no-angle OP included "LOL SO I KNOW TRUMP IS EVIL AND ALL SO WE CAN'T SAY ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT HIM, BUT LOOK AT THE GOOD STUFF HE'S GONNA DO" when it's clear he has stream of consciousness verbal diarrhea. Just check his Cabinet picks if you think he's going to follow-through on the "good" things he's said.
Trump getting elected is one of the worst things to happen to science in some time.

So this is what the fabled BernieBuster turned TrumpChump looks like.
-Voted for Trump because thought it was funny
-Voted for Trump because they believed him. Lol
-Protest Voted
-Didn't Vote
Or they have Hillary Derangement Syndrome and they are desperate to grasp at any straw to distort reality, no matter how wispy and glued to Donald's orange head it is.
