Trump: We’re Being Decimated by Every Country We Do Business With

“The whole world is focused on this area and honestly, if our country doesn’t get it right this time, we are in big trouble because we going in the wrong direction. The economy is terrible. Our trade with foreign countries is horrible. They are taking it away from us. We don’t have the right people negotiating for us. And we are going to do some questions and answers very soon. I just wanted to say a few words because we are being decimated on trade. We’re being decimated. We are being decimated by China, by Japan, by every single country that we do business with.And it's never going to change with these politicians. We have politicians in charge of our country. We’re taken care of by special interests. I'll give you an example: Medicaid. So, we’re the biggest drug buyer in the world. We buy drugs to make people better. All of that is fine. But we don’t negotiate the price of the drugs. So we are spending perhaps $300 to  $350 billion more for drugs buying from our drug companies. Now people say, 'How’s that possible? It’s not possible.' It's possible because the drug companies have probably the second or third most powerful lobby in this country. They get the politicians and every one of them is getting money from the drug companies. Every single one. You know who’s not? Me. I’m getting money from nobody except for the small donor.”
