Hey, the Big Law firms and prominent universities forked over billions of dollars with barely a whimper---wouldn't want the pharmaceutical industry to be treated any differently, now would we?

Can't wait to see how much money trump makes off his second time as prez. As usual, he's making virtually no effort whatsoever to hide what he's doing---that's just what happens, when you're blessed with an essentially impotent political opposition.
