"The White House heralded $2 trillion in investments secured by President Donald Trump this week during his Middle East trip, but a new analysis found that at least a half dozen of those contracts were announced before he took office in January.
The administration released daily lists of the agreements reached by “the dealmaker in chief" during his visits to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, but the Washington Post reviewed those contracts and found several of them had been announced while Joe Biden was president.
In Doha, the administration announced $8.5 billion in projects involving the Texas energy company McDermott, including one focused on Qatar’s liquefied natural gas expansion," the Post reported, noting those contracts were announced in 2023 and 2024.
When Trump was in Abu Dhabi on Thursday, the White House announced $200 billion in 'new' commercial deals with the UAE," the report added. "Much of the corporate funding came from a cloud computing deal between Amazon and UAE state-owned telecommunications company e&, which the White House claimed would contribute $181 billion for the local economy by 2033. But Amazon had already announced that contract in October, and the company had only committed about $1 billion over six years."

The executive order set a 30-day deadline for the U.S. trade representative and the Department of Commerce to give drugmakers price targets set by the Department of Health and Human Services.
If drugmakers do not lower prices within six months, the health secretary will impose lower prices through rulemaking, the White House said.
The executive order doesn’t change drug prices; it puts regulatory hurdles in the way of drug makers who don’t cut their costs. For most Americans, though, prescription prices are set by their health insurance companies.
Facts are completely useless to someone so deeply indoctrinated they can’t even recognise when they’re being spoon-fed complete nonsense. Understanding the nuances of reality requires the ability to be educated beyond primary school level, some curiosity, and an effort to reach out to people who exist beyond the comfort zone of the echo chamber you’ve grown up in. But why bother thinking critically when it’s easier to parrot opinions of another echo chamber dweller, but one who has the technical ability to produce Youtube videos and memes. Indoctrination breeds ignorance, and confirmation bias makes sure it sticks.
