Trump is not just ignorant about history, science, and reality itself, he is also mathematically illiterate. I also notice that his followers are equally innumerate as they swallow the ridiculous fake facts and figures Trump and his trucklers throw at them without question.
Let us begin.
1) Claim: “We’re gonna get the drug prices down — not 30 or 40 percent, which would be great. Not 50 or 60, no. We’re gonna get them down 1,000 percent, 600 percent, 500 percent, 1,500 percent. Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.”
FACT: No matter how wildly random you throw out magic numbers, reducing any price down more than 100 percent is quite literally unachievable.
2) CLAIM: "Since you have been in office, President Trump, your DOJ agencies have seized more than 22 million fentanyl pills, 3400 kilos of fentanyl, since you've been here last hundred days, which saved (turns and looks at assembled press, 'Are you ready for this, media?'), 258 million lives."
FACT: Every Trump Cabinet meeting is an embarrassing display of Politboro-level bootlicking of Donald Trump as he preens and glows at the attention. However, Pam Bondi set a new low with her claim that Donald Trump personally saved the lives of 75 percent of the US population.
3) Claim: “Every boat we knock out, we save 25,000 American lives.”
FACT: Trump repeatedly makes the claim that for every alleged Venezuelan drug-running boat blown up, 25K American lives are saved. However, the maximum estimate of drug overdose deaths in 2024 was 80K. Therefore, it would take only blowing up three or four boats and we would have no more drug deaths! Yay!
What's more, fentanyl doesn't come from Venezuela. It comes from Mexico.
Feel free to add more fun math facts from the Trump Administration.
Do not post in red. Please and thank you!

Link: Trump is promising to slash drug prices by 1,500%.

Link: There's no proof each strike on alleged drug boats saves 25,000 lives, as Trump claims
