No, he wants to lower prices here and raise them overseas so that they are in better balance. Kinda sad that you seem to be against that.Yeah, I saw that he wants to make drugs more expensive overseas to match the prices in the US.
A text wall? No way, never saw that coming.

You mean like he lowered them the first time he was president?
For better or worse, he's been more aggressive with his policies on just about everything in this term. I want to see it play out. Any progress would be welcome.
Yeah I would love to see any signs of progress too considering how much he's ed things up so far. And we're barely more than 100 days in.
How is he going to do that?
He did all about drug prices last time. Effectively raised them.
Great.
How?
Since you're pro-Trump, let ius all know how he's going to do it.
Price controls?
Tariffs?
https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-comp...n-to-retailersNvidia reportedly raises GPU prices by 10-15% as manufacturing costs surge — tariffs and TSMC price hikes filter down to retailers
A new report claims that Nvidia has recently raised the official prices of nearly all of its products to combat the impact of tariffs and surging manufacturing costs on its business, with gaming graphics cards receiving a 5 to 10% hike while AI GPUs see up to a 15% increase.
As reported by Digitimes Taiwan (translated), Nvidia is facing "multiple crises," including a $5.5 billion hit to its quarterly earnings over export restrictions on AI chips, including a ban on sales of its H20 chips to China.
Digitimes reports that CEO Jensen Huang has been "shuttling back and forth" between the US and China to minimize the impact of tariffs, and that "in order to maintain stable profitability," Nvidia has reportedly recently raised official prices for almost all its products, allowing its partners to increase prices accordingly.

Fake news. Ag salesman we're telling me early last summer that sales were struggling. The only sales were to livestock guys. Price was in the tank already.
Muh anecdotes
Lol from maga aggie sports message boards
Instead of negotiating with drug companies directly to lower prices, Trump's asking the rest of the world -- in exchange for nothing -- not to negotiate drug prices.
What's the path to lower prices here?
Do some research you fvcking tool. The AGCO CEO and the story ignore the facts that the struggle was happening last year.
(NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, reported net sales of $2.9 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of 24.0% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Reported net loss was $(3.42) per share for the quarter, which includes impairment charges and restructuring and business optimization expenses, and adjusted net income(1) was $1.97 per share. These results compare to reported net income of $4.53 per share and adjusted net income(1) of $3.78 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. Excluding unfavorable currency translation impacts of 1.8%, net sales in the quarter decreased 22.2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.
Ok so add to that how the tariffs are hurting them even further. Is that it?

https://www.npr.org/sections/planet-...e-already-haveWhy aren't Americans filling the manufacturing jobs we already have?
President Trump has been upending the global economy in the name of bringing manufacturing back. President Joe Biden signed into law massive investments aimed at doing something similar. The American manufacturing sector is reviving after decades of decay.
But there's something a bit weird undercutting this movement to reshore factory jobs: American manufacturers say they are struggling to fill the jobs they already have.
According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are nearly half a million open manufacturing jobs right now.
Last year, the Manufacturing Ins ute, a non-profit aimed at developing America's manufacturing workforce, and Deloitte, a consultancy firm, surveyed more than 200 manufacturing companies. More than 65% percent of the firms said recruiting and retaining workers was their number one business challenge.

Ancedotes good when it's a orange man bad hack story but not good when it's straight from the trenches? You're going to lose your when I tell you the fear of tariffs led to a e in ag equipment sales earlier this year. Oh wait, do you need to find a BuzzFeed like source for that? I
Anecdotes are rarely ever good as evidence.

SoftBank Group Corp.’s plans to invest $100 billion in artificial intelligence infrastructure in the US have slowed, with economic risks stemming from Washington’s tariffs holding up financing talks.
SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son and OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman unveiled the Stargate project in January with promises to begin deploying $100 billion “immediately” and raise that to around $500 billion over time. But more than three months later, SoftBank has yet to develop a project financing template or begin detailed discussions with banks, private equity investors and asset managers.
Preliminary talks with dozens of lenders and alternative asset managers — from Mizuho to JPMorgan to Apollo Global Management to Brookfield Asset Management — kicked off earlier this year. But no deals have ensued, as financiers reassess data centers in the wake of growing economic volatility and cheaper AI services, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named as the information is not public.
President Donald Trump’s aggressive trade policies have thrown a wrench into financial projections for AI. Higher capital costs — with lenders and debt investors shunning high-risk bets — and fears about how a possible global recession might sap data center demand are bogging down discussions, the people said. That’s despite resilience in AI-related demand across tech earnings in the March quarter and what some of the people described as keen interest in Stargate from investors.
Complicating matters is the emergence of a flurry of cheaper AI models — such as Chinese startup DeepSeek’s — and questions over how they might affect long-term profitability of projects linked to OpenAI.

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/15/b...prices-tariffsWalmart warns it will raise prices because of tariffs
Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, said President Donald Trump’s tariffs are “too high” and it will raise prices on some items as Trump’s global trade war increases the company’s costs.
“We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible. But given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said Thursday on an earnings call.
“The higher tariffs will result in higher prices,” he said.
Tariffs on China are raising costs on electronics and toys, McMillon said, and some food costs are going up from tariffs on Costa Rica, Peru and Colombia.
The price hikes will begin later this month.
“I’m concerned that consumer is going to start seeing higher prices. You’ll begin to see that, likely towards the tail end of this month, and then certainly much more in June,” Walmart finance chief John David Rainey said in an interview with CNBC Thursday.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/15/feds...hallenges.htmlFed’s Powell cautions about higher long-term rates as ‘supply shocks’ provide policy challenges
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Thursday that longer-term interest rates are likely to be higher as the economy changes and policy is in flux.
In remarks that focused on the central bank’s policy framework review, last done in the summer of 2020, Powell noted that conditions have changed significantly over the past five years.
During the period, the Fed witnessed a period of surging inflation, pushing it to historically aggressive interest rate hikes. Powell said that even with longer-term inflation expectations largely in line with the Fed’s 2% target, the era of near-zero rates is not likely to return anytime soon.
“Higher real rates may also reflect the possibility that inflation could be more volatile going forward than in the inter-crisis period of the 2010s,” Powell said in prepared remarks for the Thomas Laubach Research Conference in Washington, D.C. “We may be entering a period of more frequent, and potentially more persistent, supply shocks — a difficult challenge for the economy and for central banks.”

What could be causing these supply shocks?
