Mark Cuban Takes Heat for Cost Plus Drugs Partnership with TrumpRx
- On Monday, President Donald Trump announced a major expansion of the TrumpRx website at a White House event, partnering with Billionaire Mark Cuban to offer over 600 generic drugs at lower costs.
- Cuban boasted about his company's role, stating, "This is a special announcement, this is a special partnership—559 of those drugs are ours, so we're really excited to be part of this."
- Trump said his administration slashed costs for "weight loss drugs, fertility treatments, insulin, and much, much more" through the platform, which now lists generic options from Amazon Pharmacy and GoodRx.
- Following online backlash for appearing with the president, Cuban deleted an X post that branded anyone criticizing him a "f*cking idiot," later claiming the cursing hindered his message.
- Critics questioned the billionaire, who endorsed Kamala Harris in 2024, after Trump defended a controversial $1.8 billion fund for Jan. 6 rioters during the same Monday press conference.
