We will have reduced drug prices by 1000%, by 1,100%, 1,200%, 1,300%, 1,400%, 700%, 600%. Not 30% or 40% or 50%. But numbers likes of which you’ve never even dreamed of.
We’re gonna get the drug prices down. Not 30% or 40%, which would be great. Not 50% or 60%. No, we’re gonna get them down 1,000%, 600%, 500%, 1,500%. Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.

One of the only times he says something truthful: “Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.”
I’m no math major but if drug prices are cut 100% I think it means those drugs will be free. If prices are cut BELOW 100%, then the pharmacy will pay me to take the drugs off their hands??? What a deal! The more drugs I can buy the more money I’ll have. Thank you Dondal. I should have voted for you. (not)
My one drug is $3,000 a month. Using Trump Math, the pharmacy should pay me $30,000 a month to take Creon. 36 grand a year works for me. 🤣
We have a stupid, dumb ass President. I’d ignore him if I didn’t have children and grandchildren. But I do, so I’m worried about what the Toddler King will do to their future.
He’s just dirt stupid.
Remember his ‘eggs are down 400%’ remarks?
He’s deteriorating exponentially, and I’m not sorry to see it.
But then we’re going to get that asswipe JD in office, and he’s just as bought and paid for as Dumald is.
None of them care who they hurt.
that means that the government is going to have to pay you to take prescribed medications… a 1000% decrease in prices you pay, means a 900% increase in the money government is going to have to PAY YOU to take medications for which you formerly had to pay?
and he thinks he’s going to solve all our economic problems by doing this? 🙄🙄🙄
I’m surprised he didn’t say “by a gazillion percent.” He sounds like a preschooler describing how much money they want for their allowance.
I recall my small child discovering that some of their buddies got something called pocket money and asking for a monthly allowance to be paid ‘Um, err, mummy, shall we say on the 39th of every month?’ As you say, normal pre-schoolers mature and get to reason, to gradually understand number concepts, unlike this staple genius. I’m surprised he’s not yet responded to the ridicule by saying it’s maths that’s wrong and how schools should in future teach his version….., cos he’s always right about everything.
So pharmaceutical companies are going to pay me to use their medications? Cool! What does MAHA think about this? Don’t the MAHAs want us to eat cake, take turmeric, do cold plunges, and only eat meat in order to cure ourselves from all ailments?
