Dusty,

Of course I copy and pasted data, that's called proof. I asked for you to show some proof of what you were saying, still waiting. I merely countered what you claimed. But you have failed to provide anything, other than, " I heard this or that". Sure.

As for people 'liking me' on this forum, not sure that is true, but whatever.

Still waiting on your 'facts'. Please link those, to supplement your argument. As you must have that to be so assertive in your claims. Or are you just a bag of wind? Like the orange slug that you look up to?

Says a Kool aid drinking Trumptard!

Someone I should clearly hold in high regard. That was sarcasm, as any input from you is clearly from a place of delusion.

But keep going, you're nearly there.

'Cos Trump and his cronies played the short game. Prove me wrong.

Still an idiot. None of it passed anything, speculation is NOT the same as FACT.

Learn the difference.

BTW, fat Americans are NOT my problem.

They have been that way since the 70's.

NHE Fact Sheet

Yes it's from 2023 as 2024 figures are not out yet.

Still cannot find that $1T for Ozempic!!

" Novo Nordisk's (NVO) American depositary receipts (ADRs) slipped in pre-market trading Wednesday morning after rising sales of the company's weight-loss drugs failed to boost earnings to the level of growth analysts expected for the quarter.

The Danish company behind Ozempic and Wegovy saw a 25% year-over-year jump in revenue to 68.06 billion Danish kroner ($9.96 billion), but that was less than analysts expected. Net income grew 3% to 20.05 billion kroner, also missing projections.1"

THAT is fact, from their own website dated August 2024.

So, how many decades before that $1T mark?

Yes, I do think he lies, they all do.

Committee or not.

Listen turd, 2024 figures are not out yet.

Do you even know how much $1t is? I suspect not, the US military budget, the highest in the world is not even $1T, $900b is closer. Yet you seem to think that some how the US will spend $1t on a fatty drug?

Show me the proof, send a link, tell me where to look and not some Fox News shyte either.

You are an idiot. Period, that is fact.

You claimed that the spend of Ozempic was 1 trillion?

The whole of the Medicaid budget for 2023 was $880b due to the pandemic, but somehow they spend $1T on an anti-fat drug?

You are beyond delusional. You've gone down that rabbit hole haven't you? Watch the alternative facts briefing from the WH podium.

Show proof and not some BS that some air head said, 'cos we all know how truthful Trump and his team are.

Moron!

Please use more than a single nano-cell of your brain, otherwise you are just a smooth brain.

No really, go back under that rock.

"but $50 million to gaza, for condoms."

are you mental???

never happened ffs.

total us spend on global health care prevention spend was $42m, that was to combat the spread of aids in africa and the developing world.

telling everyone to not pay attention to media yet you quote a load of ******.

biden could not get a plaster into gaza but you want to believe $50m worth of condoms?

tell me you are a complete moron without telling me!

go back to the rock where you crawled out of and hide in shame, pitiful.

Do you actually know what goes in food in the US? You should be glad we in the UK and Europe have banned most of those ingredients they allow in the US. That is the issue, not individuals choices.

But will he do anything about it? Of course not. You want to know why? Lobbies.

They have a lobby for everything, a lobby literally pays government officials to pass laws that are in favour of said lobby.

Perhaps if they had a 'citizens of America lobby', that may be a different story.

So, health care is down to education, but if that is lacking then what do you expect?

Perhaps it is you that is somewhat myopic?

Crsipy Turtel,

Sorry, no one over 60 should be running for a leader of a country that has that much influence over the rest of the world.

I could give a rats ass who is the latest dictator in the US, if it never affected anyone else, but they do.

RFK Jr is a POS too. Flips more than an circus acrobat. Don't trust him.

Anyone that speaks and shows loyalty of another country over their own should not be allowed to be president of a condo association, let alone the US. So far, they all have, which means that all those in the US government, have zero loyalty to the people.

If you are asking me about healthcare, that should be down to each individual, not mandated by any government body.

MTI, do be quite. That 'attempt' was completely fake, rigged to make him win. An amateur could not miss that orange pumpkin head.

but you are outraged, yet your type cheer when these same clowns assassinate foreign leaders," for democracy" or " he was a bad man". Get a grip.

NotZero,

Again, you making assumptions. My 'mate' Blair is a war criminal and should be in the Hague. So stop deflecting and projecting.

Blair, BoJo, all controlled by the US. Just educate yourself, please. You would be so much better off. FDJT, is also a criminal.

NotZero,

"As for Trump, that old trope, he's about the only president to leave office with less money than he went in with, didn't take a salary either. "

Simply for the fact that he was not making false claims about his wealth, now it was under scrutiny by the IRS, also, he could care less about a paltry $500k salary when he was having people like the Adelsons 'donating' $millions to his 'campaign', do behave yourself, you are just showing that you would rather be lied to than be convinced of the truth. Would that hurt you too much?

You seem to also make the assumption, like many of your kind, that because I hate Trump, I must like Biden? I'll let you into a little secret, I cannot stand him either, bent as a $3 dollar bill. All of them are. It was Trump's admin that pushed for the UK to use all the US resources, it was him that did deals with BoJo to sell the UK from under the British people, it was him that said that no one in the UK should have the NHS and what a brilliant business opportunity it would be for US companies to have a piece of that, guess what? They have a BIG piece of that now. Give it 5 more years and you will need private health insurance in the UK. So, I'll pass on Trumptard phase thanks very much. What do you get in return? A US passport? Citizenship? Access to their Medicaid system? No, nothing.

Badland, not a fan of crooks, conmen or thieves. I know, simple rules that I try to live by, why should I accept less from others?

I feel no need to harm others, even if there could be profit or wealth for me, would rather be a human than a complete and utter twat.

Also don't get why people in the UK or Europe feel to cheer lead Trump. It's like grass voting for the lawnmower.

I'm sorry, how are we better off than the EU? We are getting hit just as hard. EU is our closest trading partner, not the US.

Don't me me wrong, not and EU fan, but Trump will want to burn everyone, they seriously need a regime change in the US. Crackpots to the right and crackpots to the left.

Trump only wants to enrich himself, if it hurst the US people, so what?

AZ, prime twat, there I posted that for you. Stay in your border, please. The world would be a safer place if the US stayed in it's stolen borders. 750 military bases around the world.. so who is the problem?

Who needs an ally like the US? No one. The US shoots it's allies in the back, at least when we have enemies we are looking at them head on.

AZ, you need to go. Bots like you are what is wrong with this world.

PEAKREAD, I do believe the time is now for the good people of the US(not the magadaggas) to take back their country. A revolution 2.0 would be a good start, heck, I'll even buy the beer and popcorn to watch the shyteshow erupt.

Nothing like a civil war to reset one's goals and humility.
