Donald Trump is well-known for making audacious statements. From his promises to rejuvenate the economy to his meticulous choice of language, the President of the United States consistently presents new ideas.
However, his most recent announcement may be the most perplexing to date. During a press briefing at the White House this week, Donald Trump confidently outlined his administration’s strategy to reduce prescription drug prices by as much as 80%, with the goal of aligning them with European rates.
At 78 years old, Trump described this initiative as ‘one of the most significant’ executive actions in U.S. history, instructing pharmaceutical companies to lower prices for American consumers.
‘The rest of the world will have to bear higher costs, while America will enjoy significantly lower prices, primarily due to its smaller population compared to the global total,’ he stated. This was followed by a moment that left many reaching for their dictionaries.
One individual recalled a touch of 1980s nostalgia, stating, ‘There was a television program in the 1980s called The Equalizer. Did he coin the term in 1983 and is merely reflecting on it?’ Furthermore, this is not the first instance of Trump attempting to elevate himself to a position of prominence.
He recently made a humorous remark expressing his desire to become the next Pope and even shared an AI-generated image of himself in complete papal regalia. Although he subsequently claimed he did not create the image, it somehow appeared on his official personal accounts.
Whether Donald Trump will eventually receive acknowledgment in a dictionary for coining the term equalizer remains uncertain; however, it is worth noting that we have witnessed more peculiar occurrences in the realm of politics.
