Pharma insider Sasha Latypova explains how "PfizerForAll" has been rebranded as "TrumpRx" and how Trump could make $500 million/year off the deal: "[Pfizer's] being forced to license Trump's name...based on previous deals...typical terms are...3-5% off wholesale revenue." For reference, Latypova notes that PfizerForAll, which appeared in the news in 2024, was/is a direct-to-consumer online retail pharmacy "with the capability of searching drugs and ordering and getting discounts directly from Pfizer." Per White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, TrumpRx "is...a direct-to-consumer website for Americans to buy drugs." Note that Latypova says that while the Trump administration has advertised this site as a way for Medicaid patients to save money, this is not truthful, as "Medicaid patients don't pay for their drugs."

But what happens when a new president tries to undo that damage done? According to Hanson, the courts have flipped the rules. “The incoming administration who wants to rectify that abuse, in other words, it wants to enforce the law and say that you came in illegally and you shouldn't have because of the prior laxity of this government, now you've got to leave because you're still breaking the law.” But the courts are not applying the law evenly: “And they’re stopping these deportations for the most part.” Hanson concluded: “It is lawful to be unlawful—if you’re Joe Biden, according to the courts. But it is unlawful to be lawful—if you’re Donald Trump.” In other words, the rogue judiciary can pick and choose when the law applies or not.

MARTIN ARMSTRONG: He has shortened the 50-day period to 10, and he will impose massive tariffs on Russia, which is exactly what FDR did to Japan. That began World War II.

Thank you to Martin Armstrong @ Armstrong Economics for "Neocons Playing Trump for a Fool," July 28, 2025.

Trump has been bamboozled by the Neocons. He has shortened the 50-day period to 10, and he will impose massive tariffs on Russia, which is exactly what FDR did to Japan. That began World War II. Trump needs to get his head out of his ass. I thought he was smarter than this. He knows there is no answer. This will only promote war, and he has been played as the fool by the Neocons all over again. He might as well bring in John Bolton as VP now.

With Europe gearing up for war and drafting everyone, you really expect Putin to fall to his knees. If he wants peace, he should honor the Minsk Agreement, which was negotiated in good faith. Before all of this started, Putin even told Zelensky the Minsk Agreement was important to honor. I would not bend the knee to Trump if I were Putin. The West has made a fool of him with the last peace agreement.

Video is here.  https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Putin-Explains-Minsk-to-Zelensky.mp4?_=1.

Then there was another peace agreement that Putin agreed to. Boris Johnson flew to Kiev to dictate to Zelensky that he was not allowed to sign that one. Trump has been played for a fool. I guess not even he can beat Socrates. Trump is taking us into World War III, even if he thinks he is negotiating.

BTW, if there is a war in Europe, the EU will lose.

The EU will lose, and it will no longer exist. The target of 2026.03 will be the culmination of the 8th 8.6-year wave from the Treaty of Rome, signed in 1957.23. The final capitulation of the EU is expected by 2030. pic.twitter.com/H6ocBNx7dU

Thank you to Martin Armstrong's "Tariffs Are NOT Reciprocal," @ Armstrong Economics, April 4, 2025.

How did the Trump Administration come up with these tariff rates? Why would a nation like Madagascar, for example, with a small economy, be hit with a 47% tariff? Reciprocal tariffs were determined based on America’s trade deficit with other nations. They took each nation’s trade surplus with the US by total exports and divided that number by two, proclaiming we are asking them for half of what they have been charging the United States.

The assumption behind this method is that a trade surplus means one country is “taking advantage” of the other. However, trade imbalances do not function in such a cut-and-dry manner. The US runs trade deficits with some countries while running surpluses with others. The global economy is interconnected, and imposing arbitrary tariffs based on a deficit does not reflect the broader picture.

For example, China may have a surplus with the US, but it also imports raw materials from other nations to manufacture goods. If the US places a retaliatory tariff, it does not necessarily mean that China has been unfairly charging the US. China’s advantages of natural resources and lower production costs are part of the trade deal. There is a reason the US and China were once the largest trading partners, as China relied on American consumers the same way that America relied on cheaper Chinese goods. China was then investing in US debt, which it once viewed as a safe trade, but that is no longer the case, and America will suffer as a result. All of these measures are causing America’s trading partners to flee.

Look at Canada, where the population is far smaller than America’s, which is one of many variables. There is less demand overall and while Canada relied on the US for numerous imports, America was not subsidizing Canada. A trade deficit is not a subsidy! The US pays for Canadian goods and services with USD, which Canada then reinvests in the US economy. This is how global trade works; it is not a one-way street where Canada simply takes advantage of the US.

We cannot expect a complete balance in trading. Look at poorer nations—they simply could never purchase the same volume from America. Wages in these nations are far less than the US minimum wage, and thus, production is cheaper from a labor standpoint alone. For example, no one from Cambodia will be seeking an American-made car. A Cambodian factory will not move operations to the US to avoid the 49% tariff.  They will look for alternative buyers outside of the US. Imbalances are a natural part of trade. Treasury Secretary Bessent said, “Let them eat flat screens,” but that is not the core of the issue. Americans did enjoy cheaper goods, but the bigger issue is that these tariffs make American investments LESS attractive as major companies cannot operate from a purely domestic standpoint.

The calculations do not factor in currency exchanges. Capital flows and currency values often influence trade deficits. If foreign capital flows into the US to buy Treasury bonds, real estate, or equities, it strengthens the USD, making US exports more expensive and imports cheaper. This is not a function of unfair trade practices but of the global demand for US assets.

By imposing tariffs arbitrarily, the cost of imported goods rises, which can negatively impact domestic industries that rely on those goods. Most American manufacturers rely on foreign goods to operate or finalize their “Made in America” products. Hiking up tariffs will cause the cost of production to soar. The workforce will shrink as profits decrease. Consumers bear the brunt of these policies through higher prices.

The assumption that tariffs should be determined by “half of the surplus” rule ignores the reality that trade wars are not linear. These tariffs are NOT “reciprocal” as the Trump Administration insists. They are not looking at the actual tariffs set by other nations. Those advising Trump believe that other countries will want to negotiate “tariffs” to permit free trade, but instead they are simply hoping to close trade deficits, and that simply cannot occur. Thursday’s sell-off is indicative of capital flowing out of the US. The Trump Administration basically told the world that America is closed for international business, and capital is responding to the threat. The real impact of these tariffs will soon come as we move deeper into a period of stagflation.

ARMSTRONG: NATO is telling every [European] leader they can conquer Russia without nukes and without the United States.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz informed Zelensky that Trump and Vice President JD Vance no longer wished to continue the meeting. They kicked Zelensky out of the White House, and rightly so.  --Martin Armstrong

Thank you to Martin Armstrong @ Armstrong Economics for his piece, "The End of U.S./European Relations," February 28, 2025.

Kaja Kallas, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, is one of the bloodthirsty politicians who hates Russians and cares nothing about her people, just like Zelensky, for she too does not want peace. But worse still, this is all wrapped up in the LEFT, fearing they are losing power with their crazy WOKE agenda moving ever closer to, "You will own nothing and be happy. "  All the EU governments are LEFTIST, and all have generated Trump even when he was running for president. They oppose everything he does and have their agenda, from climate change to raping Russia.

The EU has shown nothing but contempt for any democratic process. Kaja Kallas did not stand for election for this position. Not a single EU commissioner stands for any election. History warns that when you prevent the people from changing leaders, that is a dictatorship, and the solution then becomes revolution. The audacity to say that if the German people voted for AfD, they would simply nullify the election as they did in Romania demonstrates that we are walking down a very narrow path. Our computer warns that the EU will indeed not exist post-2030.

One nuke and her country of Estonia is gone. Nuclear weapons were supposed to be a deterrent to war. Today, nuclear weapons are no longer a threat. They think that they can invade Russia, and Putin will not push the button, fall to his knees, and surrender to be hanged as they plunder Russia. Putin was wrong. The NeoNazis are not just in Ukraine. They have taken over Europe to its destruction as they did before.

NATO is telling every leader they can conquer Russia without nukes and without the United States. This is the backdrop to what Trump said about the EU,

Let’s be honest, the European Union was formed in order to screw the United States. That’s the purpose of it, and they’ve done a good job of it. 

Trump will now most likely impose 25% tariffs on the entire EU. We are finishing a report on the European  Economy, and it does NOT look very good.

The Neocon Coup of Europe, Martin Armstrong, February 2025.

The European [Union] Community was funded secretly by the CIA. The declassified documents now clearly show this is NOT some conspiracy theory. This was another Neocon venture squandering American taxpayer money without Congressional understanding, no less approval. I have detailed this in this special report.

After today’s folly, where Zelensky thought he could get on US TV and turn America against Trump to send American money and “sons and daughters” to die for Ukraine, he had another thing coming. He has no intention of seeking peace, for he now assumes he has endless backing from Europe, so the money will keep flowing.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz informed Zelensky that Trump and Vice President JD Vance no longer wished to continue the meeting. They kicked Zelensky out of the White House, and rightly so. President Trump made a statement. Following the meeting, Trump said Zelensky is NOT yet ready for peace with Russia. Indeed, Europe is ready to send its boys to die for Zelensky. Trump said on Truth Social:

I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations.

I don’t want advantage; I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.

Trump will most likely retaliate with a 25% tariff on the EU, including Britain, which is now eager to rejoin the EU as they have plans to conquer Russia and carve up the $75 trillion in natural resources. I have even heard some say that when they do this, Europe will be the dominant power, and the US will be sidelined to be a subservient colony, as they should have been. I do not know what these leaders are smoking, but it is clearly causing Hallucinations of past glory. Perhaps the dream of Ergodan resurrecting the Ottoman Empire and Isreal for the Greater State has also infected the EU. Everyone is on the delusional kick of reestablishing old empires.

This is the backdrop to what is going on. To our European readers, you better get off your ass and demand an end to this war. The Neocon’s playbook is rule #1: prevent all communications with your opponent to prevent peace negotiations. This is what they had Biden do. Europe is doing this, so Zelenskyy has also refused to negotiate peace.

In Quest of Peace, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail S. Gorbachev, 1990.

I was in DC and can tell you that when Gorbachev indicated change was coming, Reagan wanted to talk. They told Reagan that you can never trust a Russian. They tried to prevent him from even talking to Gorbachev. This is their #1 Rule, and Europe is following this rule, and that ensures war even as soon as May.

"[Trump] knows how dangerous [the mRNA technology] is. The facts are on the table...And...Bobby is going to do everything he can...[but] he's up against...the whole control grid...[and] mRNA technology is an integral part of implementing the control grid." Former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report Catherine Austin Fitts (@solari_the) describes on a recent episode of the @ChildrensHD  series Financial Rebellion how President Trump knows how dangerous the mRNA injections are as "the facts are on the table." Fitts adds that while RFK Jr. will do "everything he can" to limit the damage done by the injections, "he's up against...the whole control grid" that is currently being ushered in and consists of things like digital IDs and controllable digital currencies.

"If you look at the pressure that started in early 2020, building enormous momentum in the investment community for this technology and for the control grid, this is at the heart of building the Internet of bodies and using the AI to connect with humans and living things," Fitts says of the mRNA injections. "[T]hese guys have huge global investment all over the world since early 2020 betting on the digitization of everything in part using mRNA technology." Fitts goes on to say,

So this is far bigger and deeper. And I've seen them do a great deal to try and engineer modified hangouts to support mRNA technology. And we see the Trump administration, the president, two days, three days into the administration, right after the inauguration proposing Stargate with mRNA technology, selling it as if it's wonderful. He knows how dangerous it is. So the facts are on the table. And I think Bobby is going to do everything he can, but...you need to understand that this is a much broader, deeper [problem], and what he's up against is the whole control grid. In other words, mRNA technology is an integral part of implementing the control grid. It's not just a health thing. We can't put it on Bobby that he's gonna be the great man who rides in on the white horse and saves us. We need a concerted effort of millions of people off the couch saying, "No way, Jose." In every statehouse, across the government, getting the congressman [to act] . . . don't put this on one person. This has to be a hugely broad-based juggernaut.

11:53.  It was an awkward event I mean yeah go ahead 

11:55. I was just going to say that was from the visit last Friday and there was a lot of that and of course she was lying.  National Guard troops did prevent a lot of people from going back to their homes.  It was a really awkward event very tense very tense awkward because it was Trump was actually calling them out. As an La resident, how could how did you feel about that conflict?

12:14.  Well, it was great show business entertainment.  I mean Newsome had the wherewithal not to show up after meeting Trump on the tarmac in a work shirt, jeans, and boots.  I don't know where he thought he was, but he did not go into that trap that Karen Bass went into.  It was highly confrontational.  She was dancing around.  She's now saying that her health czar now said that they can't go in there because there are too much hazardous waste, so she's now deferred to Barbara Ferrar, LA's phony doctor, Director of LA County Department of Public Health official who is stopping people from going in to deal with their homes.  They also have military vehicles there to prevent people from going into deal with her homes.  Three, they are never going to get permits to deal with rebuilding their homes.  The situation, if you look at Maui, if you look at Lahaina, that has been almost 2 years, Emerald, they lost 1800 homes; we lost 18,000.  So you're looking at 10% of the total here in LA.  1800 homes in Lahaina nearly 2 years, it'll be this summer, have 36 work permits and three homes have been rebuilt.  Think about that and the model that they are using here, the eco model, that LA uses is their sister city in Maui.  So three homes built in 2 years, 1800, 36 permits.  1800 homes lost here, it's 18,000.  Do the math. Never going to happen.

13:45.  Your home, you're blessed that yours did survive the fires, right.

13:50.   Yeah I'm in Hollywood, so I evacuated during the Sunset Fire and then came back 10 days later.  And then another fire started.  They are all arson.  They arrested the arsonists in the second fire.  These are all homeless transients with meth pipes that has been pointing pointed out by Michael Schellenberger and others.  Whether Nate Hochman, the new DA, will prosecute them is up to Nate Hockman at this point. So we'll see if he means what he's been saying about prosecuting people to the fullest extent of the law for arson.  Which these are arson cases whether they are deranged or not is a matter for the courts to decide.

14:30.  As a final note, just so we can hone in on this, do you think anything has changed since Trump showed up?  Do you think it put any kind of a fire under the feet of local officials?

14:40.  No.  Absolutely not.  In fact, it probably inspired them to stall even more.  These people are not going to be able to rebuild.  The homes are super expensive. It's not about even clearing the land.  Most of them are never coming back.  I predict the government, the state government, will seize the property at some point, two, three years down the road and build low-income housing which is what they want to do.  There's a chapter in Mike Davis's book called, [Ecology of Fear, 1998, Chapter 3, titled "The Case for Letting Malibu Burn"] Burn Malibu, Burn. There are many progressive people, Marxists, in this city, who wanted Malibu to burn to the ground economically, politically, and socially, and in a Marxist way, they want to get rid of those wealthy homes there.  They've made private homes illegal to build in LA County.  That's against the law.  You have to build multiple-family dwellings now.  There's an entire Marxist movement that was rooting for Malibu and Pacific Palisades to burn to the ground.  Hundreds of fire trucks were in their repair shop.  The money that was cut by Karen Bass to the fire department, roughly $20 million, went to the public library system that was forced to do away with late fees that they claimed were racist.  So that put the public library system in the red because they were not allowed to collect late fees on books any longer.  So the money for the fire department went to the library system.

THE FEDERAL PLAN ON VACCINE DISTRIBUTION

OWS released a document in mid-September outlining how it would distribute vaccine doses. It has a military tone; the title is From the Factory to the Frontlines. General Paul Ostrowski, Perna’s deputy, has said the goal is to begin delivery within 24 hours of any approval or emergency use authorization, with distribution centralized and farmed out mainly through McKesson Corp., a Texas drug distributor that had an existing contract with the CDC to deliver vaccines. To track where every dose goes, OWS is building an integrated computer system that brings in the CDC’s existing systems. OWS says it expects to have as many as 75,000 injection sites across the country. States have sent the CDC proposals for how to manage distribution locally, but in mid-October the bipartisan National Governors Association submitted a long list of questions to the Trump administration about everything from funding to storage, making it clear the states don’t see a workable federal plan in place.  

from Tom Luongo's Market Report for August 7, 2024.  

Tom's remarks about Mark Walz, Kamala Harris' new VP pick, were extremely interesting. 

33:36. And as Alexander Mercouris pointed out ages ago, he said "But then that effect of this has been to hold everything in this band and hold everything and Innovation behind the curve technology then the lack of competitive then the lack of competitiveness of German industry is exposed badly, especially with the rise of China.  So now Germany is ultimately the target.  Now you can kill the ECB, and you can kill the EU.  If you were a bunch of predatory Fed and New York and Tokyo bankers and you like more open Capital markets than the Europeans do, well then you're going to not argue; you're not going to be down there.  That's why they hate Trump who put Powell in place and they replaced Libor with Sofr.  This is the story I've been telling for 3 years.

from Luongo's Gold, Goats, and Guns:

What is SOFR? The Secured Overnight Funding Rate. It is the U.S. domestic replacement for LIBOR. SOFR is market-driven and arrived at through actual transactions in the U.S. money markets with the daily quote arrived at by real data from real US banks.

LIBOR, on the other hand, is a rate set by 17 foreign banks and 1 U.S. bank (JP Morgan Chase’s London Division). It’s still not market-driven but arrived at by consensus. Regardless of that, it represents the activity within London’s and Europe’s banking system, not the U.S.’s.

Ad therein lies the rub.

For all intents and purposes for decades, LIBOR was the mechanism by which the City of London and Europe controlled the flow of dollars into and out of their banking system. No wonder the Fed had no real control.

Broadly speaking, when the Fed raises rates and it causes a drain on the eurodollar system, it puts upward pressure on LIBOR. If Europe’s banks are more exposed to a rise in the cost of dollars then LIBOR should blow out faster than the Fed raises rates.

In past cycles, before SOFR, all US debt was indexed to LIBOR. So, it didn’t matter if the Fed raised rates domestically, our mortgages, lease rates, and credit lines blew out with LIBOR even if there was no underlying stress in these domestic markets.

#Trump2024 is arguably even more popular than he was in 2016, despite a four-year term during which the establishment got everything it wanted – including the #Covid #lockdowns.

Why do his supporters still consider him a threat to the establishment?https://t.co/rW8Rp10HFV

Manufacturing jobs never ever made up more than 30% of all jobs.  In fact, it was always lower than that, much lower and more into the 20%, 25%, 27% range except during WWII when they were just making bombs to blow up.  Now this didn't make anybody richer; it temporarily made the people who were unemployed . . . they got money but that was all inflation and taxation.  None of this was real.  It was the same thing Hitler did.  So apart from all the death camps and all the evil crap that Hitler did, he also sent everybody to work making bombs and stuff and then claimed he had solved unemployment.  Manufacturing never made up that large of a percentage of the population.  In other words, at its very peak, manufacturing jobs, 70% of the population was doing something else.  So I think people have this idea that Trump is going to put on tariffs, and people are going to stop importing manufactured goods and like 80% of the population is going to work in manufacturing.  No.  It was never the case at the height of American manufacturing employment, and it wouldn't be the case any time no matter how many tariffs you put on.  So it really is just completely a retarded idea.  Be that as it may, he didn't even follow through on that.  Okay?  His advisors, a few of his loyal advisors, the people who really believed in him, were saying, "Don't back away," but all the other ones, whom people call RINOs, some even call Libertarians although that's kind of a laugh that anyone in Washington DC at all is a Libertarian other than Thomas Massie and Rand Paul, two of them, two people.  His advisors tell him, "We're going to have a recession, you're going to lose the next election."  So he backed off.  

16:37  He made a deal in early 2020.  It was signed, and manufacturing immediately rebounded by the way.  So if you trace the IMS Manufacturing Index to see when it was in recession and when it came back, it locks in step completely with those tariffs and their removal.  So he didn't do that.  I keep wanting to think that his supporters are really antiwar.  I actually think Trump is sincere about not fighting at least as many wars.  And I always wondered is it just because he says that that his supporters go along with that when all they really care about is immigration and tariffs?  Or is there a critical mass of people who are sick of this crap?  If there is and if the antiwar part of his message is at all part of the reason why people want to reelect him, well, he didn't do that either.  He promised in 2018 he would be out of Afghanistan with all the troops home by Christmas, and then he sent more troops, and then he never left.  Then he made some deal, "Oh, we're going to get out, but you have to elect me again first."  No.  No, sorry, Donald.  We've heard that too many times.  The fact that it was Joe Biden that got the troops out of Afghanistan is just a travesty.  As despicable a person as Joe Biden is and as warmonger as he's shown that he is and corrupt, and everything else, to allow him to be the one to end the Afghanistan War is just inexcusable to me.

18:43  He bombed Syria twice.  Now there's some murmurings that he bombed empty buildings, and if that's true, that's good, I'm glad.  That was an intentional thing, "Look, I'm going to do this bombing to get all of these people off my back, but I'm not going to kill anybody."  I hope that's the case.  And when he refused to bomb Iran over them shooting down the drone, I give him full kudos for that too.  In fact, he came out and said, "Listen, I'm not killing 150 Iranians over an unmanned drone.  I'm just not going to do it."  I don't think I've ever heard a president say in my lifetime anything that sensible.  So that's good for him.  But we got to remember that the whole Iran thing was his high-pressure campaign that he let John Bolton run.  How'd he think that was going to turn out?  He almost got us into a war while he was saying he didn't want one.  He did that and he funded Ukraine.  Now he tried to hold up the funding pending an investigation into his chief political opponent.  Boy, that was a bad precedent to set, wasn't it, Donald?  But I think he was always going to send it.  And he still talks about Putin like a Neocon now.  A lot of the foreign policy, the positive parts, have faded away during this campaign and I don't exactly know why that is.  Now, he's still saying some 

SASHA LATYPOVA: Pharma pays for his campaign, and the DOD is likely running it

[Trump's supporters] are forced to resolve the cognitive dissonance in favor of “well, he was lied to by Fauci, so…"

from Sasha Latypova,

Trump is shilling for covid vaccines again. Pharma pays for his campaign, and the DOD is likely running it - this is obvious from his consistency and dedication to this line of messaging. It is propaganda, pure and simple - lies repeated often enough to his base, normalize the most monstrous lies. So they are forced to resolve the cognitive dissonance in favor of “well, he was lied to by Fauci, so…”
