Twitter now fact checking him. Seems pointless as it just links facts from the "evil MSM" and his MAGAts don't care about facts if they've been told the source is evil.
Overall, I’m going to say no - because it sounds good, but really isn’t going to help a lot of folks. But I haven’t seen the details published so educated guess here.
Best I can tell, this only effects plans that have a coinsurance cost instead of a copy for insulin. Coinsurance means you pay a % of the total cost of the medication as opposed to the set dollar amount of a copy. I’ve seen coinsurance be 15-65%. For those plans, $35/ month will generally be cheaper and consistent to help with budgeting each month at the pharmacy.
However, those plans tend to have lower premiums which is why folks pick them. The article you linked says premiums will go up a “$1 or 2” per month to which I say horse hockey...or maybe it is the first year, but It will jump up next year when the costs roll in and Trump is no longer trying to woo the elderly back in an election year.
Also, this does nothing about deductibles which for Part D are around $400-450. And since a months supply of a single low dose of insulin is minimally -$200, a patient still has a high up front cost to get their insulin in January of each year. The $35 copay would not kick in until the full deductible is met and many folks don’t have the savings to cover it.
Manufacturers could easily reduce the cost of insulin and this would not be an issue at all.
Or we could even contract government pricing, but socialism or something.
...and injecting insulin when you don’t have diabetes is about as smart as injecting bleach
We should really have a ”choose the drug/cleaning product he is going to suggest ingesting/injecting for healthy people” bingo card setup.
Although Trump having diabetes would not be that surprising.

Twitter Refutes Inaccuracies in Trump’s Tweets About Mail-In Voting
Twitter added a link to two of President Trump’s tweets in which he had made false claims about mail-in ballots, urging people to “get the facts.”
He thinks the internet is a box under the stairs
Radical stance: I hope he gets twitter and facebok shut down. It's literally the sounding board that allowed a fat imbecilic manchild like him to become president.
The utter shambles openly saying he wants to shut down open platforms, how can people not see this?
He is going to cling desperately to power now. After his utter abortion of an attempt to deal with Covid19, watch him dial up his attacks on the media and the integrity of the voting system. Even if Biden wins this clown won't go quietly, if at all, and his supporters will clap while it's happening.
