It's the normalizing of it that is despicable. The mainstream media is complicit in the destruction of our societal norms.

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began.
Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

Did anyone expect TrumpRX to be best?
Hey so trumprx actually went live and it's got the same cost savings as goodrx. Exactly the same. However it's worse because it doesn't include generics. Generic protonix is about $6.
This literally does nothing. What a joke.
