I... can't complain about that.

His Twitter has become so powerful.

He might have to be banned from using Twitter, if it can influence stock indexes to such extremes. Conflict of interests yadda yadda. Anyone check yet if any of Trump's (former) business bought Boeing shares after they plummeted?
If I were a stock broker, I'd be glued to Trump Twitter, and immediatly purchase minus-options (or whatever those are called in english, the stock thingies that earn you money when a share drops) for every company he bashes.

Sheit, I should go to the bank tomorrow and propose a business plan based on shorting the stock of any company that Trump sets his sights on. I might become a billionaire in 4 years of Trump reign.

If they go bankrupt they wont sell or develop lifesaving medicines at all.

Combine that with Dolan's appointment of an anti-vaxxer as presidential advisor and you get extra fun.

Ah, I was worried at first that Trump would be too much of a loose cannon to manipulate, but, thanks to the objective and free Western media, I now fully know that Russia has enough compromat to pull his strings like a puppetmaster, no doubts being able to conduct any kind of pro-Russian activity in USA, such as, for example, dismantling all American nukes!

If he can survive the current scandal without being impeached, that is.

Even if this was real, I don't think having sex is an impeachable offense.

In the '90s it was.

I think it was more he appeared to be abusing his position to get sex, then lied about getting sex.

Then again, I'm going on memory, and was a child in the UK at the time.

Well, if they go bankrupt, their bankrupcy lawyer will sell their assets (including patents) to other companies, that will produce the drug.

Honestly, I'm kinda wondering if my parents will regret their vote for Trump. They personally don't think the ACA being in danger affects them, so they don't care, but if something demonstrably true comes up, I wonder if it'll change.

And be able to charge higher prices even once the patent runs out because the competition is reduced.

I need to read more on the subject, I suspect, but my main source of info about it is this and this. Comments section tends to be worth reading too, though it's godawfully long.


Although I remember seeing that after he bashed on a magazine, they reported their subscriptions increased 100-fold within a day or two. Spite will do that.

Seriously how much damage can Trump do?

I mean... outside start a war. lets put that off the table

How much damage COULD he do?

Though odd thing is... I am starting to think the only reason he doesn't ban Gay marriage is because it would be lengthy and costly and it ultimately is on the low end of what he cares about. Rather than it being something he either doesn't care about or is one of his less conservative notions.

Impressionably, a lot ._. Said damage rather than being tangible (and other than that) can also forward personal biases or other pressures in the environment that make it seem a lot bleaker than what really is.
Just like how impressions are held over a lot of time.

Especially since the news is all TRUMP lately. >_>
All the news here too. For some reason.
