Donald Trump won last year’s election on a pledge to rid America of radical leftists but on Monday he was adopting some of their policies.
As the president ordered pharmaceutical companies to slash US drug prices on Monday, his Republican health secretary admitted there were clear echoes of Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders in the president’s plan.
“This was the fulcrum of Bernie Sanders’ runs for the presidency,” Robert F Kennedy Jr said, referring to the veteran legislator from Vermont. “I have a couple of kids who are Democrats [and] big Bernie Sanders fans, and when I told them this was going to happen, they had tears in their eyes.”
