Can someone help me with the prescription drug price cut math?

All this time, I thought a 600% cut in drug prices would mean I’m getting paid to pick up my prescriptions. But, according to RFK Jr. today, it’s a different kind of math that Trump uses to calculate the cuts. Kennedy said today that a drug that was $600 and is now $10 is a 600% cut.

I can't imagine being this petty. It is obvious to everyone what he means.

That's a 98.33 % reduction.
A 600% reduction would mean they pay you $3K each time you pick it up.
Right?
Or am I using normal math and not "new" math?

Good thing your psych meds got cheaper for you

So you’re upset about an almost 100% decrease in price? Am I understanding that correctly?

Trump calculates percentages differently than everyone else. He knows what’s best after all.

Imagine whining about a 98.3% cut.

This is a great reduction for sure but I can't help but wonder if RFK has some deficiencies. He seems off.

Nuh uh! It's not a 600% decrease, it's a 98% decrease!!
These people have no idea how ridiculous they look saying shite like this. Trump leads them around by the nose like the idiots they are.

That’s right, 98.3% is close to 100%. 600% is not close to either. Glad to clear that up.

Good lord. So it's a 98.3% reduction. Does that make you feel better?. Pretty damn good I'd say. What did Biden or Obama do?

And, here we are... a hater actually shedding light on significant price reductions.
I don't take prescription medications so I had no idea what the savings looked like for those that do... now, I know. Thanks!
Math is a formidable skill, wanna know a better one? Getting your naysayers to TRUMPet your wins.

I mean... yeah... It's a 98% decrease. That's pretty damn good. No need to sound stupid can call it a 600% decrease because you think it sounds better.
You can't change math. Math is math.

They hate Trump yet they still clap like seals for him.
And the funny part is that they think that the idea he does this deliberately is beyond him so they just keep on doing his bidding for him. And then they wonder why people call them retards.

You think the guy who has built an empire worth over 3 billion dollars can't figure percentages? He does this on purpose.

If a tree falls 98% in the woods, does anyone hear it?

Sally is right though. I had no clue Trump had cut the price of some prescription drugs by nearly 100%. In their effort to “own” Trump they are actually drawing attention to his accomplishments.
