Another Venezuelan oil tanker seized. https://news.sky.com/story/us-seize-another-tanker-off-coast-of-venezuela-13486172

All sorts wrong with this. It seems that Venezuela's choice is accept it's tankers will be seizes so stop exporting, or respond in some way and see themselves attacked. 

The pretext that the oil cash is used (presumably by the oil exporters) to fund drug exports (narco terrorism FFS) is as stupid as anything Trump has said.

Donnie claims that over 250 thousand American lives have already been saved due to the sinking of the "drug boats". How much of the supply entering the country has been interdicted, given that the official number of US deaths from drug overdose is 82500 this year.

Donnie has also said that he has reduces the cost of medical products in the USA by up to 600%.
I question the ability of maths teachers at the Whartons Business School where, apparently, he was an outstanding student!!

I saw a US news interview with a high-up from the Department of Commerce, and he went through the mental gymnastics of explaining this; The price has been reduced to a point where it would have to be INCREASED by 600% to get back to where it had been before the price cut.

Although, in reality what is happening is that the 9 largest drug manufacturers in the US have agreed to reduce the prices they charge, mostly to MedicAid, by up to 70%, thereby matching the prices they charge international customers - and to avoid proposed punitive tariffs being charged against them.

Would it not have been easier for people to understand if they had simply announced that prices were being reduced by 2/3rds.

You have to credit the Trump administration with curtailing what appears to have been a massive rip-off perpetrated against the US healthcare industry.

Scaramucci said even when they told Trump something and the figure was 85% he deliberately changed it to 96% in a speech. When they asked him why he changed the number to 96 he said it sounded better. Staggering how many want to trust this nutter.
