Trump: "I took a lot of heat -- I'd say, 500, 600%. But we also say sometimes 50%, 60%. Different kinds of calculation. There are two ways of calculating it."

There is a difference between 50% and 500% 50% is half 500% is 5x the cost Its not a matter of 'saying it this way or that' 2 different math equations We can see how he went bankrupt 7 times

The math says that in order for Trump to save people 600% by charging $200 med the initial cost is 200x6 Making the intitial cost $1200 per month Which is complete BS Its $16 per month at Costco Trumps cant do basic math ref. Howard S. Interview

The stupidity is breathtaking. And to think this is at our highest level of government. He’s also the intellect who starts wars and can’t get out of them.

I'm just imagining telling my middle school math teacher, Sister Mary Agnes, that there is more than one right answer to a basic math problem like percentage decrease. There would absolutely be an eraser flying at my head.

QUESTIONS FOR EVERY REPUBLICAN: Q1: If a $600 drug drops to $300, did it decrease by half? Q2: Does 50% of something mean half of it? Q3: Do you think it's ok to have a President and an HHS Secretary who are both so stupid they can't understand this?

One of which is mathematically wrong. But percentages can be counterintuitive for those without some basic mathematics skills. For example: 125 is 25% more than 100, while 100 is only 20% less than 125.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Iran should send a message notifying Trump they're now either 60% or 600% less likely to open the Strait and just sit back and listen to the gears grinding from thousands of miles away

Indeed, there are two ways to calculate most anything. The correct way and the wrong way.

Actually, there are many many ways of calculating it. One way is right, which is the way Trump never does it, and all the other ways of coming up with numbers, including pulling them out of one's arse, which is what Trump does, all of which are wrong. bsky.app/profile/atru...

this is a lesson to folks .. if your dad is rich even an IQ of 60 as evidenced by Trump and his cabinet and Kushner .. can get into Ivy league if you buy your seat and donate . For all the rest of peasants .. even a perfect 4.0 and valedictorian .. u may be 1000th on waiting list

Again, what's troubling is that all those standing behind him know full well that he's mentally unfit and a criminal on multiple levels (not to mention a complete dumbass), but they humor him by laughing nervously and simply being there...

A reporter with any brain cells left should tell him that if his grandchildren did this on math tests, they would fail. And then ask if this is really the example they want to set. I once told an English teacher small minds can only spell words one way bc I was a bad speller. I got detention...

We say sometimes 100% of my business ventures have failed, other times we say 1000%. Jim over there the other day said to me, “Sir, it’s such an honor to work for a man who is batting a thousand.” A thousand! Think of it.
