    So Trump isn’t wrong then when he says Biden is taking credit for something he already did, is he.

      Executive orders, like Trump’s insulin price cap, can easily be undone.

      Biden signed the IRA, which permanently capped insulin prices. So Trump is wrong when he says Biden “had NOTHING to do with it”.

        Yes, it’s possible that Biden improved on Trump’s solution by making it an actual law rather than an EO.

        Either way, this is really just political posturing from both sides. Both of them are exaggerating their own achievements in order to dunk on their opponent when in reality, each of them just made incremental improvements.

      Yes. Trump is lying again.

      The price cap on insulin passed by congress and signed by Biden is an actual price cap. The EO from Trump was not. It was words with no effect for most insulin users
