There is a massive contradiction at the heart of populist Trumpism claiming to stand with 'the little guy' whilst it is at the same time in bed with big business and opposed to green measures.

It is a con. Smoke and mirrors.

Is this RFK/Trump combo really interested in and capable of bringing down food prices whilst banning the methods and additives that produce such profits for a group of Trump backers? Can they really (and do they want to) bring down drug prices for the benefit of poor Americans without a comprehensive health system and prevent future opioid scandals?

Something has to give and I can't see it being profit under Trump.
Wasn't big business and greater funding etc behind Harris not Trump though?

Not that it changes the thrust of what you say, but I dont think he's bothered about upsetting people who didn't support him.
