Trump’s “Worst Idea”: Undercutting Patent-Inflated Monopoly Pharmaceutical Patents

“It’s not ‘handcuffing’ US Big Pharma to make it harder to force US taxpayers and customers to subsidize Big Pharma by paying patent inflated monopoly prices. And by the way, don’t we hear regular from the same crowd that China doesn’t respect IP, it steals IP, and so on? Bu-bu-but if this is the case, how can ‘Chinese companies are announcing biotech breakthroughs almost every day?’ Either this is a lie or exaggeration, or patents are not needed for such breakthroughs, or China has a strong patent system after all. Which is it, IP fascists?” (05/08/25)
