Ciphern my numbers

[Meadow Ford]

Like Elly May Clampett and Jeffro Bodine I am not very good at ciphern my numbers. One room country shools may not be the best.
So can someone help me out?
Trump has said many times he is going to lower the price of perscription drugs by 200%, 400%, 1200%, maybe even 2000%.
Now I pay $14.99 for 90 pills of Sodium Bicarbonate.
Help me out here.
What will I pay, if true to his words Trump lowers the price by say 600%?

For example  if a drug cost $50 and you were getting a 600% (-600%) discount  you'd get the drug free and $300 handed to at purchase. 

Go plug in -600 in % and see for yourself:

Trump was handing in his bone spurs letter to dodge the draft the day they taught percentages at the academy. 

If only true, Trumpeepoo would be a GOD just like Jesus Christ, somewhat known to be a healer!

So why does Trump keep  repeating such stupid stuff. It just gives the late night talk show hosts an endless supply of good material.
Does no one tell him about basic math?

Historically Fear of Trump, Ridicule, and being Ostracized and Banished, and him even riling up others to Threaten if you cross him, in this case correct him. 

The rewards for being a Trump sycophant, loyal and dead silent during his bullshit are self evident, a simple lawyer (Trump sycophant) can be a US Attorney, the Attorney General, be a Federal Judge and even sit on the US Supreme Court.  Receive a commutation, pardon for fucking treasonous shit....

Unless you're big mouth MTG who turned out to be NOT Pro-Pedophile  and like his first administration, where in some cases he fired away until he was on to his 4th, 5th, 6th string cabinet level positions.    You don't usually win the "big game" when your stars are gone!

How come the Trump group here doesn't respond on this?

We are all waiting for their responses!

I am pro-president, this is the best I can muster.

Because if you hang on his every word, even his supporters would go crazy.
Concentrate on new legislation, action and results.
Tangible things that help and not hurt Americans. 

Border, immigration, inflation, economy, illegal felons deported!

[The Answer]

Here is what he means by big discounts. Of course you TDS ers what to focus on the language rather than the results because you know he’s right!

Savings relative to markups or foreign prices: If a drug costs $100 abroad but $400 in the U.S. (a 300% markup), reducing it to $100 eliminates that “300% extra” Americans were paying. This isn’t a true 300% discount (which would be impossible), but a rhetorical way to highlight how much lower prices could go compared to global benchmarks.

So why does "Drinking The Kool-Aid" come to mind?

ADHD is more appropriate!  Old school term is "RETARD" (IMO actually more correct and factual)!

I believe this has already started!

Many people have had enough of his policies because they realize they are doing more harm than good!

What new legislation?  How many years for health care?

Inflation, and the economy are far from perfect, FYI, it is his economy now, not Biden's!

OOPS, you forgot to mention how much ICE is "HARASSING" the good people (including police officers) because of the current policies!

Thanks for trying but you 'FAILED' AGAIN!

Please read and learn before you post.  It's never to late to improve yourself!

What new legislation?  How many years for health care?     *Tariffs are new legislation.   Reduction or elimination of Federal Education Ministry is policy.   What do you mean by "How many years for health care?"   You pose it as a question, but no idea what years you are talking about.

Inflation, and the economy are far from perfect, FYI, it is his economy now, not Biden's!
*****   Inflation January 2025   3.2%      September 2025   2.4%    exceptional reduction

OOPS, you forgot to mention how much ICE is "HARASSING" the good people (including police officers) because of the current policies!     ***  I support what ICE is doing.   Removing illegal felons from the country.

Thanks for trying but you 'FAILED' AGAIN!
