    So it was cut by 10 dollars?

    Kennedy said, “President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. There’s two ways of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that’s a 600% reduction.”

      a different way

      Well, it’s just plainly wrong and shows obvious lack of understanding how percentages work

        it’s not even right, that would only make it 60 dollars.

        10 * 600% = 60

    600% exists. For example:

    $50 item…

    Let’s take 10% off…50x0.1=5…50-5=45, so $45.00.
    Let’s take 600% off…50x6=300…50-300=-250, so -$250.

    So I gotta go shopping soon for these things.

      Asterisk means italics which is why this is a bit hard to follow.

        I was wondering why it didn’t make sense, thanks. The inconsistent decimals and use of ellipses to separate ideas probably doesn’t help either, though.

      yeah but you’re using the wrong way to calculate percentage. Not the same one Trump uses.

    so, that’s this. Americans changed the way colour is spelt, changed the meaning of billions, what a gallon is and are now changing how percentages work ? fucks sake!

    also with him getting rid of Medicare part D, the actual headline will probably soon be “Trump increases drug prices by 600%”

    I wonder if all the scumbags getting their grift on behind Trump just straight up lie to him to get him to get soundbytes for fox news or something.

    There is literally no universe whatsoever where Trump actually cares about fucking over senior citizens making their drugs more expensive which is apparently what’s happening now and almost guaranteed to be the reason why he made this claim. He wouldn’t care about it if it doesn’t make him any money, that’s literally all he cares about. I feel like there’s a really really good chance the fucking assholes doing that just told Trump “we cut prices by 600%” so his dumb ass can just say it and make it “reality” for the base.
