Former President Donald Trump blasted the FDA and pharmaceutical giants during his appearance on Theo Von’s podcast Tuesday, proposing a ban on government employees becoming lobbyists. Trump said, "You have to stop listening to lobbyists. You know, I was not a big person for lobbyists. And if they have even a little access to like a president or a senator or a congressman or woman, they get a lot of money"

"You could say that if you’re an elected official or if you work in government, you can never be a lobbyist. You have people that work in government and they give out contracts to the military, and then they leave, they work for the people that they’re giving out contracts to," Trump further said.
