“Find the world’s lowest prices on prescription drugs,” TrumpRx.gov reads.

The TrumpRx site is part of the president’s “great healthcare plan” that he vowed will put Americans first and allow them to purchase their own healthcare options, lowering the cost of prescription drugs and insurance premiums.
Trump vowed Americans will “pay the lowest price” for medication.
“This is a very big deal. People going to save a lot of money and be healthy,” Trump said at the launch.
“You’re going to see numbers that you’re not going to believe,” Trump said of his website. “Americans have long been paying the highest drug prices anywhere in the world, while other countries often paid pennies on the dollar for the exact same drugs. We were essentially subsidizing the entire world and subsidizing by hundreds of billions of dollars every year.”
He vowed Americans will see costs decrease for prescription medication.
