A lot of people seem shocked that Donald Trump is doing things he said he'd do. At least two of my Trump-backing friends — and a lot of people I see writing on the 'net — say they voted for him because they liked some of the things he said and assumed that the stuff they didn't like was just empty campaign rhetoric…things like building that wall or banning Muslims.
Well, it's nice to know that he's not keeping all his promises. He promised to go up against the pharmacy lobby and to negotiate drug prices way down but today he met with "Big Pharma," and now he's against that. Kevin Drum has more.
I seriously doubt Trump will ever do anything that would prevent a rich person from getting richer, no matter how many poor or middle-class people suffer for it. That seems to be his big problem with doing things that help the environment. It often gets in the way of maximizing profit.
