Trump says he cut drug prices "400, 500, 600, 700, 800%," which is not mathematically possible

[Independent thinker]

Trump once again demonstrates his inability to do elementary school math. It is not possible to reduce something by more than 100%. You would think someone in his inner circle would tell him to stop repeating this nonsense.

So? He cut drug prices.

so you are saying your side lies....just not as much...they still lie otto and you follow without question....

Name one that lies like trumpy and give the example.

 

[BlindBoo]

It is completely believable that the MAGA-NUTTERS believe in the impossible. They admit out loud that they believe in Election Conspiracy Theories that as so wild, they are impossible to prove!

That's Right Ladies. Benedict Donald Saves You Money. Donate today!

Name one that lies like trumpy and give the example.

are you telling me otto that the democrats dont lie to people?...

 

[otto105]

are you telling me otto that the democrats dont lie to people?...

I’m asking you, for an example of any Democrat politician that lies like trumpy and for an example of it.

Why is that hard for you?


Windmills cause cancer, right?

Still no example of a Democratic Party pol telling the lies of trumpy.

Why can you not source any single word?

Why are YOU a piece of shit for even engaging in this thread?

That’s a pretty lame and weak defense there….

It wasn't intended as a defense at all, but mere speculation, as can you really imagine a guy with 50 years experience in creating, building and running businesses generating billions of dollars does not really understand the numerical relationship of percentages?

Well, maybe he should be more careful about what he says when speaking publicly in his official capacity as POTUS

 

[toobfreak]

Or maybe he acts dumb because dumb people like it. They feel he's one of them.

There you go! That's another theory. The fatal flaw being that why then are not all the stupid people in the DNC attracted to Trump? Could it be because there are even far dumber people to honey up to in the democrats?

That said, amazingly, everyone seems to have still gotten Trump's point, maybe his only real point, that he has succeeded in slashing many drug costs to a small fraction what they once were? Then maybe his 600%, 800% reduction figure was just a colorful way for a colorful guy to expatiate his actions?

Is the color orange?

 

[Mr Natural]

So the drug companies are going to pay us to use their products?

 

[XponentialChaos]

Then maybe his 600%, 800% reduction figure was just a colorful way for a colorful guy to expatiate his actions?

Or maybe he’s just not intelligent and he just doesn’t understand percentages.

However, it is possible he raped 400, 500, or 600 women/children...

 

[0311]

What sounds better? 87% or 500%?

It's getting into the heads of stupid people. Telling them "this is great, this is amazing".

And stupid people follow him

Isn't that like a requirement.

No one ever said that and you know it. He is an adjudicated rapist, he is a felon. Over 20+Women of Sexual Abuse, Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment and Sexual Misconduct. No one ever anything about what you wrote. You tiny, pathetic MAGA MAGGOT WORM!

Trump has operated dozens of million dollar corporations, so I think it silly to believe the guy doesn't know basic math! This is likely more a case of Trump just speaking metaphorical campaign talk, partly because he might think this is more along the lines that many people understand.

Obviously, you cannot cut the cost of something by 800% without it becoming free and your getting a refund or payment for using it! My guess is that when he says prices cut by 800%, what he is intending to relate is that costs have been cut to 1/8th their former cost.

Trump is a bit of a carnival man, not that I think he is stupid or intending to actually deceive, he just has a tendency to relate stories and put things in dramatic big tent ways!

The biggest ever! Everything is biggest, best, longest ever.

Trump has advisors and accountants who handle all of that for him. Most people who have worked closely with Donald have called him a moron. This is a fact. A speech writer likely would have written what you've suggested about prices being 1/8th what they were, etc. An obvious lie, but at least the language and math would be correct in that statement. Trump probably took that to mean 800% less as he is as stupid as he is corrupt and spoke it how he thought it should be.

So what you're saying is Trump is a carnival barker. I won't argue with that. I think this is where he excels above anything else. It's how he tricks people into giving him money and fall for his schemes. He did it with his Trump phone, he did it with his election lies, he did it with his meme coin and trump media stock, it's endless. He's literally grifted his way to the very top by ripping off his supporters. If anyone could be described as a born con man, it would be Donald Trump.

My dad says his prescription drugs are much cheaper now.

 

[krichton]

Donald Trump has a tendency to exaggerate. Hope that helps..

I think the word you're looking for is, lie.

 

[ColonelAngus]

What he said was mathematically inaccurate.

I AGREE, HE WAS WRONG.

AND THERE IS ALGAE IN THE REFLECTING POOL!
