President Donald Trump cringed hard as he tried to crush a vial of super-sturdy glass that will be used for packaging pharmaceutical products.On Thursday, Trump met with several top pharmaceutical executives to announce the investment of more than $500 million into a new type of glass for drug packaging.
To demonstrate that money going toward the glass was well spent, pharmaceutical executives egged Trump on as he tried to crush one of the vials with a clamp.
