Trump: "...remember, this was done by us, and nobody else." SURE it was. Just NOT in the context he's suggesting.

“Because I have invoked FAVORED NATIONS STATUS FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, DRUG PRICES ARE FALLING AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, 500%, 600%, 700%, and more,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Trump has frequently wielded numbers in this manner throughout his second term, claiming in July that he will cut prescription drug costs by 1,500% — despite numerous fact-checking outlets noting that percentages don’t work that way. Price cuts exceeding 100% would, in theory, mean customers themselves are being paid.

“No other President has been able to do this, BUT I HAVE!” Trump wrote Saturday. “This is also the answer to much less expensive, and far better, HEALTHCARE! Republicans, remember, this was done by us, and nobody else.”

He continued, “This is a revolution in medicine, the biggest and most important event, EVER. If this story is properly told, we should win the Midterm Elections in RECORD NUMBERS. I AM THE AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT. TALK LOUDLY AND PROUDLY!”

Oh my god, Trump has discovered a new word and we're going to hear it over and over again. I suppose if he repeats it often enough it will magically come true.
