Fox News Finally Fact-Checks Trump’s Bizarre Claim About Drug Prices

Donald Trump’s commerce secretary spiraled trying to defend the president’s claims.

By Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling

excerpt: 

The White House has finally been called out for fabricating its

pharmaceutical savings—and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick did not handle it well.

For months, Donald Trump has seemingly grabbed numbers out of thin air to impress an ignorant public—or his sycophantic followers—on his allegedly great pharmaceutical deals, boasting that he has “cut drug

prices by 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500 percent.”

The Daily Blast With Greg Sargent

On Thursday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the world that the Kennedy Center has now been renamed after President Donald Trump. Her announcement of this great honor was bizarrely obsequious, mimicking phrases Trump himself uses and slathering him with unctuous flattery. We think it’s no accident that this comes as Trump’s decline is worsening both physically and politically: On Friday, he seemed to nod off amid his escalating physical deterioration. And a brutal Fox News poll finds his approval on the economy cratering, huge majorities saying economic conditions are bad, and even majority opposition to his mighty boat bombings. We talked to Moira Donegan, a columnist for The Guardian, who has a great new piece on Trump’s decline. We discuss how Trump’s minions are compensating for his deterioration with increasing cult worship, why his physical and political decline are connected, and what it means that the world is now looking beyond Trump.

 

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned

Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they "alarmists," and how did "anti-alarmism" become cool?
