Donald Trump has had a fascination with words recently.
First, it was groceries.
On Monday, the president claimed he invented a “new word” while talking about his proposal to lower drug prices by 80%.
“Basically, what we’re doing is equalizing. There’s a new word that I came up with, which is probably the best word,” he said.
“We’re gonna equalize where we’re all gonna pay the same. We’re gonna pay what Europe’s gonna pay ...” he continued.
But “equalize” didn’t just enter the English vocabulary on Monday.
According to Webster’s dictionary, “equalize” was first used in 1599.
On Monday, Trump signed a sweeping executive order setting a 30-day deadline for drugmakers to electively lower the cost of prescription drugs in the U.S. or face new limits down the road over what the government will pay.
The order calls on the health department, led by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to broker new price tags for drugs over the next month. If deals are not reached, Kennedy will be tasked with developing a new rule that ties the price the U.S. pays for medications to lower prices paid by other countries.
While giving his “Liberation Day” speech last month, Trump became enthralled for the word used to describe a common group of items.
“Likewise, an old fashioned term that we use: groceries. I used them in the campaign. It’s such an old-fashioned term but a beautiful term: groceries. So, it’s a bag with a lot of different things in it,” Trump said during the speech from the White House Rose Garden, where he announcing 50% reciprocal tariffs on several countries.
