He for sure knows that trickle down economics doesn't work and only enriches the top 0..05% in the society.

For some reasons which I do not know (mostly lack of education), alot of poor white folks feel trickle down voodoo economics works, therefore conservatives would always use it as a tool to fool there electorates.
Have seen these poor White folks in the South and Appalachia with poverty written all over them lining up with their Link Card buying grocery and they will wear Red MAGA Caps. These are the poorest of the poor living on Public dough and fighting for tax cuts for Billionaires and Multimillionaires who doesn't give a fvck about them. That's cultism right there. It's like the knuckle head here barely surviving and calling himself a Republican when the real Republicans will make fun of him for his accents and peanuts that he calls salary. Why some people work against their interests is beyond my understanding.

Obviously he was fixing a stubborn problem with the growing trade deficit from Obama’s admiration. He was in the middle of addressing it with the stupid democrats Russian enquiry going on for 4 years. Complainers with no solutions.

Did Obama even try to admit the deficit talkless of trying to solve it??

Trump’s Cash Stream Dried Up In 2020


Dan AlexanderForbes Staff
Billionaires
Senior editor at Forbes, covering Donald Trump's business.


When Donald Trump took the oath of office four years ago, the Trump Organization didn’t stop selling his properties. In 2017, it dealt $32 million worth of condos and land on his behalf. In 2018, it got rid of an estimated $53 million worth of real estate. In 2019, it ditched another $32 million of holdings. Then, in 2020, something strange happened: The president’s business seems to have sold almost nothing.

Sure, there were three units in Las Vegas, which generated $435,000 for Trump. And it’s possible there were other deals, but after reviewing hundreds of property records, Forbes didn’t find any. In previous years, the president offloaded New York City condos, but that didn’t happen in 2020. Nor did any sales of apartments in Chicago or lots in California.

As a result, one of the president’s most reliable cash streams suddenly turned dry. The drought surely impacted Trump’s financial liquidity, which was already somewhat limited going into 2020. At the end of the previous year, Forbes estimated that Trump’s $3.1 billion fortune only included about $160 million of cash. His net worth declined to $2.5 billion in 2020, and, since he likely had to cover losses at his hotels, it’s possible that the president has less cash today.

The Trump Organization tried to sell several properties in 2020. During the early months, the business was hoping to trade the president’s Washington, D.C. hotel for a reported $500 million. One buyer, Brian Friedman, offered $175 million, which the Trump family turned down. In March, when the pandemic set in, reports surfaced that the Trump Organization was putting the listing on hold. By May, Friedman estimated the place was worth about half as much as he had offered.

Even with the D.C. deal on pause, there still seemed to be a good chance that the president could sell two other properties, 555 California Street in San Francisco and 1290 Avenue of the Americas in New York City. Trump owns 30% of both office buildings. Vornado Realty Trust holds the other 70% and therefore controls the fate of the assets. In June, Vornado announced that it was looking to recapitalize the buildings. Since Trump has an estimated $784 million of equity locked in the properties, a refinance or sale could theoretically create a windfall for him. In late November, word spread that Vornado was no longer considering a sale and was planning to refinance instead.

Other properties remain on the market. Trump has been trying to sell his estate on St. Martin for years. There has been some interest, including from a Chinese billionaire, but the property is still listed. In October, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump Organization was considering offloading another mansion, Seven Springs, in Bedford, New York, which is worth an estimated $30 million. But it hasn’t sold yet either.

Trump should be able to tap new cash streams soon. Post-presidencies can be quite lucrative, as Bill and Hillary Clinton showed, hauling in more than $240 million from 2001 to 2015 by writing books, giving speeches and so on. Trump could also strike new licensing deals and charge foreign developers to use his name on their buildings. After all, the president certainly has more contacts overseas today than he did four years ago.

So he froze a policy that made insulin and epi cheaper and that's a good thing?

Why not keep prices low until you can figure it out.

Buy hey. He's a democrat. Obviously he gets the benefit of the doubt

And have you read the EO and what it forces these health center to do?
The measure, signed off on in December, aimed to require some community health centers to deliver savings to low-income patients for insulin and epinephrine in a bid to bring down unaffordable prices.
