Trump, 79, Gets Math Wildly Wrong in Another Senior Moment

[Jilly_in_VA]

Donald Trump promised drug costs would drop “1,000 percent”—then claimed a $10 pill would become $20—in a head-spinning arithmetic car crash.

In a Fox News hit that left viewers baffled, Trump said, “We’re gonna be reducing drug costs over the next year, year and a half… by a thousand percent,” before adding, “it’ll go from $10 to $20 for us.”

The two ideas cannot both be true. A 1,000 percent “reduction” from $10 would take the price to negative $90—meaning drugmakers would pay patients to take pills—while doubling $10 to $20 is, well, a 100 percent increase.

Trump was skewered on X for his mad math. One person derided him as a “moron,” while another described him as “Donny Dementia.”

Yet, incredibly, The Story host Martha MacCallum, despite looking a little confused, didn’t push back on his bizarre claims.

I'm 82, math was my worst subject, but even I could do better!

1. It wasn't a senior moment; it was a Trump moment.

Don't blame his colossal idiocy on getting old. There are centenarians out there who are still as sharp as a tack.

5. THANK YOU!!!

7. Ma'am...

2. He's been frying his brain cells snorting Adderall dust

for decades. Using Cankles math is how he ended up in multiple bankruptcies, which appears to be a warmup to bankrupt the nation.

3. Your not the product of growing up under Fred Trump.

Poor Donnie has lifelong mental illness coupled with dementia.
We are just at the beginning of suffering through this Hell.

I hope whatever he’s destined to die from, takes him soon.

4. Sounds like a small child's concept of large numbers where bigger is always better.

Any proof he ever spoke more realistically about percentages?

6. Gee, last month, drug prices were going to go down 1,500 %. oooops.

8. The only things going down for Trump are

His golf scores (because he cheats)
His dick
And Stormy Daniels.

9. More of a, he doesn't know how percentages work.

He has had problems with this before. For a guy who probably thinks he is a smarter mathematician than Archimedes, he is a real dumb shit.

10. "Left viewers baffled"? Not on FOXNews. FOX viewers think this is genius.

To nick a quote, Donald Trump is a stupid person's image of what a smart person is like.
