Medicine and food aren't like everything else we purchase though. It's difficult to poison oneself with an adulterated or counterfeit shirt or piece of furniture or even a wheel.

From where does one get counterfeit medicine? We aren't talking about buying it from a street in Tijuana.

Read backward in the conversation. Buying it on a street in Tijuana wasn't far from what we're discussing.
And to answer your question, China, India, Indonesia, Thailand, etc.

My assumption is that you are concerned about buying medicines manufactured in other countries as you think it will somehow be tainted. I do not disagree to a point in that should we become less than friendly with... say... India, that all the medicines sent here could be laced with poisons. (And they could be very subtle poison that wouldn't generate an immediate cessation of import). What I find interesting is that it seems you believe the majority of our medicines consumed come from here in the USA, and I would wager that is way off. Medicine is no different than stuff at the Dollar Tree. But India's production facilities are a far cry form the streets of Tijuana.

Not so much. I'm fairly aware of where medicine sold in the US is made and that the huge majority of pharmaceuticals made overseas is good. The suggestion I had initially replied to was to 'let Americans buy from anywhere in the world' to keep costs down. 'Anywhere in the world' includes a home lab in Tijuana or Holston Hills. I mentioned the countries I did because I know there has been poisoning from adulterated or fake medicine there. My point was that we need the FDA or an equivalent to help ensure the quality of our medicine and also food.

There’s no rationalizing. He implemented a horrible policy. It was obviously going to fail. So he started walking it back.

Calling that market manipulation is a joke. Focus on the valid areas of attack.

What you described certainly isn't intentional market manipulation. The problem is that he didn't simply implement a bad policy and later make a correction as you describe. He spent the better part of two weeks changing direction, almost daily. It's definitely a rationalzation explaining it in that manner, but as I said it will be ok now

Sure he’s been back and forth on his policy. But indecisiveness and market manipulation are not the same.

To me, transgender men competing in women’s sports is the PERFECT litmus test for basic intelligence.
Would you vote for someone who believes the earth is flat for President. Because believing someone with a Y chromosome can become a woman is same level stupidity.

I agree with you Tsar but let's be fair as I try to see all sides. The Trump haters can put together a similar thought regarding Trump's comments in an ABC interview where he insisted that the words/letters MS13 really were tattooed on that scumbag's knuckles

I'm fine with none but they're evil people with oil. Getting in business with them is nothing to celebrate. This isn't surprising from Trump given his covering for SA during his first term

So you'd rather they sold their oil to NoKo, or Iran or China. Great plan
