Even keeled response.
You start choking off oil supplies of which they have crap refining capacity as it is, then the people will start getting even more restless. I'd be surprised if the CIA isn't working on an inner coup as we speak.

Speaking of drugs, can you explain how
a drug price can be reduced 500%?

Prescription Drug Claims: Throughout 2025, President Trump repeatedly stated he had "slashed" drug prices by figures ranging from 200% to 1,500%. He attributed these claims to a "Most Favored Nation" (MFN) policy, which aims to ensure Americans pay no more for drugs than the lowest price paid by other developed nations.
Mathematical Context: Economists and fact-checkers noted that if a drug costing $100 were reduced by 500%, the new price would be negative $400.
Government Initiatives: The administration has signed executive orders and agreements with pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and AstraZeneca to lower costs. While these agreements involve significant discounts (such as 654% lower compared to past prices in some contexts, or 91% actual reductions), the "500%" figure is often described as a rhetorical claim rather than a literal mathematical possibility.
Direct-to-Consumer Platform: To facilitate these lower costs, the administration launched TrumpRx.gov, a website designed to allow Americans to compare and purchase medications at reduced "Most Favored Nation" rates.

I think Trump was looking for leaks. Let slip he was going to talk about a different thing to see where the leak slipped out.

actually i believe tucker carlson was simply making stuff up and claiming sources which is now what he does because youtube doesn't care.

This says everything.

because that is not possible mathematically. 100% reduction would be free. A 500% reduction would mean the drug supplier would pay you to take drugs.
I'm an AF extremist, nazi, racist, homophobe, xenophobe, communistphobe, and transphobe according to your ilk and heros, not a drug trafficker. So how would I know if even possible?

Y’all’s obsession with Trump invading someone so you can call him fascist is comical

The closest US territory to Venezula is 600 miles.
