"There is a layer of irony revealed by the fact that it went down after Trump made clear to his staff assembled in the Oval Office to make sure it doesn't fail in the way that the enrollment process for ACA (also known as ObamaCare) also crashed in its earliest days due to popularity combined with poor planning a fact that anyone watching Trump's Oval Office statement was reminded of by Trump himself."
"To sell these drugs to all consumers at deeply discounted prices via TrumpRx.com, the president read from a prepared statement before asking aloud, When is TrumpRX.com opening? Someone off camera replied, The site is open, and it will launch in terms of giving people prices before the end of the year. Okay, got to make sure it's successful, it's got my name on it, Trump replied."
TrumpRx.com went offline minutes after President Donald Trump announced it as a portal offering discounted weight-loss drugs Wegovy and Zepbound, which are also marketed as Ozempic and Mounjaro. The outage occurred shortly after Trump instructed staff in the Oval Office to ensure the portal would not fail like the initial ACA enrollment system, which crashed from popularity and poor planning. During a prepared statement, Trump asked when TrumpRX.com would open and was told the site is open and would provide prices before year’s end. He emphasized the need for success and compared the effort to costly, delayed projects, commenting on cost overruns and schedule slips while the remarks aired on Fox News.
