Maths is hard, especially for Donald Trump and his supporters it would seem, perhaps there’s a correlation there. Recently, Trump proudly boasted that he had reduced the price of drugs by an incredible yet mathematically impossible 600%, when questioned on it by a Fox News host, the Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, doubled down and insisted that the numbers were correct.
Lutnick, who’s certainly not the brightest of the bunch, was questioned by host, John Roberts, regarding a recent clip of Trump announcing his grand achievement in reducing the cost of medication. The president claimed to have negotiated directly with drug companies, taking as much credit as possible for his “mathematically impossible” feat.
