Donald Trump has been explaining how maths works in his world and it’s 600% nuts
Math is objective. There is a right answer and a wrong answer. The right answer can be proven with a step-by-step outline of equations.
So when Donald Trump gathered some sycophants to stand behind him while he broke down his latest drug price reductions, it stood to reason that he’d be able to explain his reductions with a comprehensive explanation.
Let’s hear what he had to say.
Trump: “I took a lot of heat for saying drugs were going down 500%, 600%, 700%. But we also say sometimes 50%, 60%, it’s a different kind of calculation, and people understand it better.”

That… isn’t math. That’s just gibberish and trailing off at the end of a sentence.
As is always the case these days, Trump made sure to surround himself with a bunch of mouth-breathing, head-nodding stooges to agree with every word of drivel that came out of his mouth.
If the President thought he was already taking a lot of heat for his questionable math skills, he should avoid the comments below, because nobody is aligned with this updated number crunching.

Dumbest president ever who also assumes people are even dumber than him.

These morons want to win a trade war with China and can’t even do the simplest maths. The US is doomed.

“It’s a different kind of calculation.”? Holy shit. Only if “different” means absolutely wrong.

This MF’er is so dumb, every breath of oxygen he takes is a tragedy that could have gone to something useful. https://t.co/sSlLmOg91H

If you read The Art of the Deal – which I don’t recommend you do – he explains this tactic.
He calls it “truthful hyperbole” described as “an innocent form of exaggeration” (a lie)
It’s framed as an effective tactic for gaining leverage and creating the appearance of strength. https://t.co/4xzEG2nJCL
