'I won't get Corona', why did Trump mock his minister in front of the media?

  US President Donald Trump is often in the news for one reason or another. Now a video of Trump is going viral on social media, in which he is seen mocking his government's health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The video is from the White House. During a media briefing, Trump was discussing reducing drug prices. Suddenly, the health secretary standing behind him sneezed. Trump's reaction to Kennedy's sneeze made everyone laugh.

Trump's video viral
During a White House press briefing, Trump was announcing a deal with Pfizer and describing a plan to reduce drug prices. Trump said that his government had tried to reduce the price of insulin during his first term. Kennedy sneezed loudly during Trump's speech.

Reacting to Kennedy's sneeze, Trump said, "God bless you, Bobby. I hope I don't get Covid anymore."

Trump didn't stop there. He pointed to Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla and said he should get Paclovid (the COVID-19 vaccine) to combat the symptoms of COVID-19. "Do you have Paclovid?"

Trump said, "He (Kennedy) has already got Paclovid. Give me one quickly."

Trump imposes tariffs on drugs

It is worth noting that Trump has imposed tariffs on several products. However, Pfizer has been exempted from the tariffs for three years. This means that Pfizer will not have to pay tariffs to sell its drugs in the US, which will keep the prices of drugs in the US low and make them more affordable.
