During the event, Trump riffed about his moves to cap the price of prescription drugs and slammed the media over what he claimed was a refusal to cover the topic.

They don't even know what they're looking at. They can't even see straight. But I have a new way out. I'm going to propose something the opposite of what I want, and we will have massive amounts of legislation, Trump insisted, adding: No, just all I have to do is say we will not build the wall and they'll"
