President Donald Trump dished out the most bizarre story as he spoke about reducing medicine prices in the US. The story is the context of why the president thought medicine prices should be controlled but it set the social media on fire as people thought the story was hilarious. Trump said US has been subsidizing other countries but paying the most for medicines. “I’ll tell you a story. A friend of mine who’s a businessman, very, very very top guy. Most of you would have heard of him, a highly neurotic, brilliant businessman, seriously overweight, and he takes the fat, the fat shot drug,” Trump said, introducing the story. “And he called me up, and he said, ‘President’, he used to call me Donald, now he calls me president, so that’s nice respect. But he’s a rough guy, smart guy. Very successful, very rich. I wouldn’t even know how we would know this, because he’s got comments.”“President, could I ask you a question?” “What?” “I’m in London, and I just paid for this damn fat drug I take.” I said, “it’s not working.” He said, he said, “I just paid $88, and in New York I pay $1,300. What the hell is going on?” He said, “So I checked. And it’s the same box, made in the same plant, by the same company. It’s the identical pill that I buy in New York. And here I’m paying $88 in London. In New York, I’m paying $1,300.”“Now, this is a great businessman so, but he’s not familiar with this crazy situation that we have. But he was stunned. But it was just one of those stories. And I brought it up with the drug companies, represented by somebody who’s very, very smart, good person too. And we argued about it for about half hour. And then finally he just said, because they can’t justify it, he just said, “Look, you got me.”
Why does everyone think it’s Elon Musk?
Trump dropped enough hints that it was not Elon Musk as Musk does not call Donald Trump by name. But X users had a field day making fun of Elon Musk as he acknowledged taking Ozempic, the fat shot drug that probably Trump referred to. Also, Elon Musk is not overweight and during the election campaign, Donald Trump praised his abs.
