What to Know
If you want universal healthcare in the United States, the closest you’re going to get apparently is Donald Trump‘s online prescription service, TrumpRx. But even before the website went live, people were calling it a scam. It’s giving “we have universal healthcare at home,” only to go home and find a weird and hard-to-understand prescription and coupon service.
The website for TrumpRx is easy enough to understand, but is the bar so low that we all sigh with relief that the website isn’t complicated? Yes, yes, it is. All you have to do is type in the medication you want and wait for the website to bring up search results, telling you the retail price and how much you can get it for from TrumpRx. Except then, there’s a coupon you apparently have to take somewhere, and it’s a mess that many might not even try to use.
People are not impressed with what TrumpRx is and what it offers.
TONIGHT AT 7PM: President Trump, Dr. Oz, and National Design Studio Director Joe Gebbia will be officially unveiling TrumpRx — a state of the art website for Americans consumers to purchase low cost prescription drugs. This historic announcement will save millions of Americans…

When Karoline Leavitt posted about the impending TrumpRx unveiling early in the day on Feb. 5, 2026, on X (formerly Twitter), people commented to share their thoughts. At the time, TrumpRx still hadn’t gone live with its website, but given what was known about it ahead of time, one person commented on the X post to say, “Yet another scam.”
Someone else wrote, “The grift keeps grifting! What percentage goes to the Trump regime?”
According to the TrumpRx website, which went live in the evening on Feb. 5, after you select your medication, the amount you want, and how frequently you plan to take it, you accept the terms listed and click on the button that takes you to the next page. From there, a coupon is generated that you are to take to a pharmacy or use with an online pharmacy.
So with the Wegovy pen, for example, you get a coupon you print out, take to a pharmacy, and then pay the amount stated on the TrumpRx website. The only hitch is that you have to hope the pharmacy actually accepts the coupon. But it isn’t the same across the board, which only complicates things in an unnecessary way. If you try to order the Airsupra inhaler, as another example, the protocol is different.
A discount is available, but then you have to click a link to take you to the AstraZeneca website to complete your order.
What’s the point of the TrumpRx website for all medications that are available, then? Not only that, but when you do click the AstraZeneca link, the URL on the AstraZeneca website has the words “Trump” and “referral” in it, so is TrumpRx getting kickbacks for those sorts of orders on the TrumpRx website?
And the deep dive keeps going. Someone on X posted a screenshot of some of the fine print with one of the medications with coupons available.
“As expected #trumprx is a #scam,” They wrote. “$199 is only for the first two months. And this is already available through the company’s coupon code for the last few months. Putting his name on something that already exists.”
