During a stop on his “Affordability Tour” in Rome, Georgia, President Donald Trump put on a dramatic performance, reenacting a phone call where he claimed he screamed at French President Emmanuel Macron until Macron agreed to his demands. According to Trump, he called “heads of countries like France” and told Macron that France needed to “double or triple” its drug prices to make up for the lower prices in the United States.
According to Mediaite, Trump also claimed he had already cut drug prices in the U.S. by “400, 500, even 600%,” which he often presents as a major second-term achievement. The reenactment had Trump playing both sides of the conversation, raising his voice to mimic himself yelling at Macron.
