Wa Wa Wee Wa! Medicine Prices Go Boom Boom!

Jagshemash! Borat here reporting live from glorious U.S. and A! Today I bring you news of great importance like finding out Pamela Anderson wants to marry me! But this news about medicine... maybe not so good. It seems President Trump a man with hair like golden tumbleweed wants to put big tariffs on medicine from other countries. This make the drug companies cry like baby after seeing my mankini!

Big Pharma Companies Cry Like My Neighbor's Donkey!

Big companies like Eli Lilly AbbVie and even Johnson & Johnson (makers of the no tears shampoo I use on my horse!) are very upset. Their shares like my chances with Pamela Anderson are going DOWN! They worry these tariffs will make medicine more expensive for Americans. Is this great success? Or as we say in Kazakhstan is this 'chagga' (trouble)?! Very nice... NOT!

Trump Says 'Move Factories to America I Like!'

Trump says these tariffs will make companies move their factories to America. He wants them to build here make here and probably even drink fermented horse milk here! But these smart Wall Street peoples say it's not so easy. Moving factories takes time costs much money and could mess up the whole medicine supply chain. Like trying to teach a bear to dance – possible but very messy!

Democrats Scream 'Death to Patients!' (Maybe Not Really)

And now a group of Democrats are very angry! They say Trump's tariffs will hurt patients because there will be less medicine and the medicine that remains will be very expensive. They even say people could DIE! This is like when I tried to milk a cow... very painful for everyone involved!

Eli Lilly Boss Man Cries Tears of Sadness (And Maybe Profit?)

The boss of Eli Lilly Dave Ricks says they've already invested billions in America! He says these tariffs will force them to cut jobs and spend less on research. Is this a great plan? I don't know! Maybe he just wants more money for himself! He's like a very hairy very rich version of my cousin Bilo!

Chenqui! Is America Number One? Or Number... Something Else?

So what does all this mean? Will America be great again or will everyone be sick and poor? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure: it's a very interesting time to be Borat! Chenqui! (Thank you!). And remember America: High Five!
