Life in America isn’t perfect and it’s not the cheapest place in the world to live, but under President Trump and the GOP congressional majority, things are certainly going in the right direction.

Case in point: Prescription drug prices just recorded their steepest annual decline since 1963 — down 3.1% over the past year. Seven straight months of falling prices, the longest uninterrupted stretch of declining drug costs in the 80-year history of the Consumer Price Index’s pharmaceutical category. The TrumpRx platform pushed discount generics and GLP-1 drugs into the market. Drug pricing agreements delivered what decades of political promises never did.

Scott Jennings said it plainly: “Every single politician, everybody who’s ever worked for them, said they were going to do it. Trump and the Republicans finally did it.” He’s right. And the word “finally” is doing significant work there.

Democrats spent years promising to lower drug prices. They ran entire presidential campaigns on it. They passed the Inflation Reduction Act and claimed victory. They held hearings, introduced bills, and delivered press conferences. Drug prices kept going up. When Republicans took back the White House and Congress, prices started coming down.

NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella put the contrast plainly: “Democrats promised this for years and never got it done. Republicans did it in less than two years.”

The mechanism matters and deserves to be understood clearly. The Most Favored Nation drug pricing executive orders required pharmaceutical companies to offer Americans the same prices they charge other developed nations — eliminating the arrangement by which American consumers have been systematically subsidizing the rest of the world’s drug costs for decades. TrumpRx made generics and newer drug categories accessible at dramatically lower price points. The market responded the way markets respond to reduced regulatory barriers and increased competition: prices fell.

This is not complicated. It is cause and effect. And it directly contradicts the socialist argument — being made by 58% of Democrats who now view socialism favorably — that only government price controls can produce affordable medication. The government isn’t setting these prices. It changed the rules so the market could work as it should have been working all along.

Every Democrat in the House and Senate voted against the Working Families Tax Cuts that created the legislative framework enabling these gains. They voted against it. Then some of them are running ads claiming credit for it. And now their candidates in swing districts are going to spend the next 80 days explaining why the free market approach they opposed is producing 60-year record results.

Trump told reporters: “I told you that was going to happen.” He did. The polls said it couldn’t. The legacy media said it wouldn’t. The pharmaceutical lobby said it was impossible without the price controls only they could administer properly.

Sixty-year record low. Seven consecutive months of declines. Trump and Republicans delivered it. Make sure every voter knows who to thank — and who voted no.
