"I mean, you've got alsoyou've got the president fighting for drug prices to be lower, fighting for energy prices to be lower, fighting for interest rates to be lower. Those are the three big pushes. And then the other side of the coin is bringing in these trillions of dollars of investment that are going to drive jobshigh-paying jobs, great jobsto get the earnings up. And you have the golden age coming."
"I negotiated directly with the drug companies and foreign nations, which have been taking advantage of our country for many decades, to slash prices on drugs and pharmaceuticals by as much as 400, 500, and even 600%. Well, if you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to zero. If you cut it by four or five or 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you to take their product."
Consumer confidence has fallen roughly 16% since President Trump took office, creating a disconnect between positive economic indicators and public sentiment. The administration emphasized efforts to lower drug, energy, and interest rates while attracting trillions in investment aimed at creating high-paying jobs and raising earnings. A specific presidential claim stated drug prices were cut by 400, 500, or even 600 percent, which is mathematically impossible because a 100 percent cut reduces cost to zero. That numerical impossibility raised questions about the use of hyperbole in economic messaging and the gap between perception and measurable outcomes.
