This is nothing more than a distraction from the bribe. An EO cannot negotiate the cost of drugs per se. Pharmaceutical companies control the price based on supply and demand by country. His EO can’t force them to change that.

I other words: A bribe is acceptable if it's large enough.

The president scolds parents for giving their kids too many dolls only to corruptly accept a $400 million jumbo jet from Qatar.

It's shameless, shocking, and indicative of a president who believes he lives above the law and wants to fly like he's a king.
