So far President Trump has brought down the price of the F35, he's brought down the price of the new Air Force One. If he succeeds in applying pressure to Big Pharma, even marginally his public reputation as someone who get things done and keeps the promises he made on the campaign trail, the more difficult it will become for the Democrats to obstruct either his nominations or policy initiatives.
It should be fully expected that at some time in the not to distant future President Trump will hold a prime time press conference and outline what he has accomplished, however marginal in reality, and what he hasn't. He will then lay blame for lack of progress in specific areas squarely on the heads of the Congressional Democrats. He will then ask his supporters to directly contact their Democrat Congressman and Senators, especially those Representatives in vulnerable districts and Senators up for re-election in 2018.
Having already out manuvered the left on the 501 (3)(c) front and given the fierceness of they loyalty of his supporters Democrats can expect that their snail mail and email in boxes to get jammed and their office switch boards to get flooded thing call from angry constituents.
Good luck to them in resisting that kind of pressure. Oh Chuck U Schumer will come out and make teary eyed pleas about some allegedly damaged family from Syria and Nancy "stretch" Pelosi will babble incoherently about "Astro turf" to be sure. Given that politician's first instinct is that of self-preservation it's not had to figure which side of the balance they will come down on if they have to choose between party loyalty and keeping their flat bottoms in Congressional chairs.
In tennis it's called "game, set, match".
