MAGA Math

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Is the border still closed? Oh my goodness, interest rates just came down, again. Prices down, wages up. No tax on tips and other perks.

MAGA math seems to be working just fine for our country ...

Rates came down because of Trump's staggering job losses. And prices are up.

You people live in an alternate reality.

Well, we could bring back Biden. He's sharp as a tack and gas only cost $7.00...

It's rare to see this amount of abject pathological TDS on a single thread.

If you're not going to discuss the subject matter then get out of the thread.

So now Biden controls gas prices. That's amazing.

Is he still controlling them? I mean, they're only about 9 cents lower per gallon than when he was president, a year ago.

If the President controls gas prices, then what is Trump doing for gas prices? We would all love to know.

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.

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

​

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.

LINK: Bondi Far Overstates the Impact of Fentanyl Seizures on American Lives​

​

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.

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

​

Feel free to add more fun math facts from the Trump Administration.

You don't look any further into those numbers. The joke in the thread is that MAGA math is nonexistent math, in case you didn't get it the first time.

Why global inflation (during Biden's tenure) that the US fared better against than our contemporaries? Why did this happen? Was it Biden policy? How so? And even if you successfully argue such a thing, you would only be arguing that Biden fared better against global inflation than our contemporaries did.

It's a dead end, in the world of educated people. It's a flimsy but alluring talking point, in the court of public opinion. But, politicians pay a price for it anyway, at the voting booth. They are in charge, after all.

Trump and the GOP will pay this price. Like it or not. Especially since Trump's policies are so directly and obviously inflationary.

Hmmm…I only ever paid a little over $4/gal

Do you look for the most expensive gas

Care to try your hand at post 26 and tell us how high tariffs will need to be to meet all of Trump's lies?

Or do you want to continue to be begged to be lied to?

No wonder Trump thinks you people are idiots.

DUMB ASS, what's your Dem plan just let other countries continue to F us over stealing our jobs and entire industries while preventing us from selling in their markets with sky high tariffs? F Democrats are DUMB!

 

[BluesLegend]

It's called a trade WAR for a reason. Yes we will suffer some short term price increases as the war is fought. The alternative is to surrender to these dickhead countries who have been ripping us off, stealing American jobs and entire industries with their tariffs on our products, unfair trade practices and outright theft of our IP.

“President Trump is the first American President to work with U.S. trading partners to ensure fair payment internationally for innovative pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients. For too long, American patients have been forced to subsidize prescription drugs and biologics in other developed countries by paying a significant premium for the same products in ours,”

Still lying?

Highest average gas price was Pennie’s over $5/ gal

 

[Hafar1014]

Still lying?

Highest average gas price was Pennie’s over $5/ gal

The highest average gas price recorded in California during President Biden's administration was approximately $6.38 per gallon for regular unleaded on June 20, 2022.

inflationary ? inflations at its lowest level in nearly 5yrs ..

What year was inflation at its lowest?


AI Overview

Yes, U.S. inflation has fallen to multi-year lows, with the annual rate hitting around 2.3-3.0% in mid-2025, marking the lowest in about four years and easing pressure on the Fed, following spikes after the pandemic, though it remains above the typical 2% target. This cooling trend follows significant highs in 2022 (over 9%) and shows gradual moderation .
