As it turns out, none of them were doing it. It\u2019s one of these promises that politicians make to their constituents, knowing that they\u2019ll never have to do it,\u201d Kennedy observed, noting that they never do it, in part, because \u201cCongress is controlled in so many ways by the pharmaceutical industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy explained that big pharma spends \u201cthree times what the next-largest lobbyist spends on lobbying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was an issue that people talked about. Nobody wanted to do anything because it was radioactive. They knew you couldn\u2019t get it by Congress. We now have a president who is a man of his word, who has the courage,\u201d he said, observing that the difference with Trump is, he \u201ccan\u2019t be bought, unlike most of the politicians in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd he is standing here for the American people. \u2026 There\u2019s writers \u2026 who are saying that President Trump is on this side of the oligarchs. There has never been a president more willing to stand up to the oligarchs than President Donald Trump,\u201d Kennedy said, telling the president that he is proud of him, lauding his courage for pursuing this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never thought that this would happen in my lifetime. I have a couple of kids who are Democrats, are big Bernie Sanders fans, and when I told them that this was going to happen, they had tears in their eyes. They thought, this is never going to happen in our lifetime. And we finally have a president who\u2019s willing to stand up for the American people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The presser follows Trump previewing the executive order on Sunday, announcing that \u201cPrescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH the full presser below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"President Trump holds a news conference with RFK Jr.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QD1kTfYe3W4\" width=\"678\" height=\"444\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThere has never been a president more willing to stand up to the oligarchs\u201d than President Donald Trump, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.
