       #TRUMP: “You know, we’ve cut drug prices by 1,200, 1,300, 1,400, 1,500%. I don’t mean 50%, I mean 14 — 1,500%.” THE #FACTS: This is false. Cutting drug prices by more than 100% would theoretically mean that people are being paid to take medications. The Trump administration has taken steps to lower prescription drug prices, but experts say there’s no indication costs have seen such a massive drop.

       @Nonilex Which goes to show that Trump doesn't understand percentages.  More evidence that he has no idea what he's doing with his tariffs.

       @Nonilex Look, I can't imagine CVS wants to outright call Trump a liar. So I'll cut them a deal. Instead of demanding a couple hundred dollars next week when I pick up my prescriptions, I'll just take the full, unredacted release of the Epstein files.And maybe a couple packs of Altoids.

       Geoffrey Joyce, dir of health policy at the USC’s Schaeffer Center, called #Trump’s claim “total fiction”…. He agreed that it would amount to drug companies paying customers….“I find it really difficult to translate those numbers into some actual estimates that patients would see at the pharmacy counter,” said Mariana Socal, an assoc professor of #health policy & management at Johns Hopkins who studies the #US #pharmaceutical market. She added that Trump’s math is “really hard to follow.”

       @Nonilex   Donald doesn't understand numbers. If you don't believe me, ask the bankruptcy court.

       @Nonilex Yeah, 54% of American adults read at the grade 6 level or lower.This affects critical thinking, moral philosophy, and media analysis skills.Thanks Reagan.https://www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/post/literacy-statistics-2024-2025-where-we-are-now#literacy #criticalthinking #education #k12 #civilization #neofeudalism #democracy #fascism #serfs
