Damn sorry this happened and now you have to defend incorrect math
Nobody is defending the math. Pointing out how you reactionary dummies will literally complain about anything Trump is the point. The fact you idiots brought this huge Trump victory on prescriptions to the nations attention is funny too.

81 million people voted for dementiaman. Those must be who they're targeting.

So Trump lowers the prices on some drugs and all you can do is bitch about his math. You probably bitch about being hung with the new rope

If I were trying to win an argument about intelligence, the very last thing I would ever do is link to anything Elizabeth Warren said.
That is a stupid b!tch. She has credentials, but she's stupid.

There is no argument here, though.
It’s not an opinion. It’s math. It’s one of the only things on earth that leaves no room for feelings and “messaging”
It’s either right or wrong.

2) that they think the guy who DID lower drug costs by 98% and built an empire worth 3.5 billion dollars can't calculate percentages properly.

quote:Why do you suppose they went with 600% instead of 500%?
I guess you are unfamiliar with messaging. You are unfamiliar with audience reception. In that regard, you think an 86% reduction would have been a more effective way of expressing massive cuts to John Q Public? Juxtapose 86% with 600%. Which is the attention getter? The 600% pronouncement was not math, anymore than "a million reasons" represents an actual count.

Keep pumping this story. Please Democrats. Orange man can’t do math! He’s only saving Americans 90% on prescription drugs!
This is fairly disingenuous to say as well. Trump isn’t slashing prescription drug prices by 90-98%. He did negotiate some steep discounts - from what I’ve read roughly 50 specific name brand drugs where in many cases the generic is still less expensive. I could be wrong on the specifics, I’m neither a physician nor a pharmacist

This is not a big deal whatsoever. It isn’t even misleading…people that understand how percentages work know that a decrease won’t be over 100%.
Now, I see people using percentages to mislead people every day. I see them use incorrect benchmarks. I see them ignore percentages and use gross figures if it improves framing. Seen some people from this thread do this before. And in a way, that is what this thread is doing. The materiality of the misstatement of 600% is insignificant, but lots of weight being thrown at it. You are comparing Trump to Biden in terms of intellect…so I suppose your posting history would support that you are just calling balls and strikes?
People have been exhausted from the criticism of Trump since his first term. It has galvanized his support. These types of threads are nothing more than circle jerks for people that don’t have enough conviction to risk being labeled a supporter of a political movement, but nevertheless find themselves consumed by political matters.

The drug in the OP had a 98.3% discount.

It's funny for two reasons. 1) they don't realize that they're doing this specifically so his haters will publicize his accomplishment for him.
It is always impressive the mental gymnastics the cult will do to justify Trump. So now they are intentionally butchering simple math (over and over again) to call attention to lower prescription prices? TDS at its finest.

None of us were even aware of this huge Trump win until you morons started screaming about the bad math. Trump got you TDS infested clowns to do his marketing and victory lap for him.

Now use MAGA math to count Josh Allen’s rings you fricking homo

Thanks for reinforcing my point.

Thanks for bringing to our attention Trump successfully negotiated a 98.3% price drop on this important medicine.
That actually helps people and matters. Unlike the bad math quote that you losers are melting over.

No. My assertion is RFK gave the number, not Trump. I thought that point was pretty clear.
