To the Editor:
Trump acknowledged having boasted that his efforts to lower drug prices had reduced what consumers pay by “500%, 600%.” But he added, “We also sometimes say 50%, 60%” and called it a “different kind of calculation” that could go up to “70, 80 and 90%.”
“People understand that better,” Trump said. “But they’re two ways of calculating” and “either way, it doesn’t make any difference.”
We’ve all learned to live with fake news. Now we have fake math? If I pay $100/mo for prescriptions, do they now have to pay me $500/mo for taking them?
I wonder if MAGA supports or even understands 7th grade math. By the way, RFK in front of Congress supported this “new math.” One thing about math, you can’t spin it. It’s either right or it’s wrong.
Or is it just blind support for whatever falls out of his mouth, and we just “don’t get it”?
