they love AI but are too stupid to use it

Wow, that might be one of the dumbest things that has ever been spoken.

“Different” is doing a lot of work there.

RFK Jr and Trump - Not smarter than a fifth grader.

even if you allow for maybe he's trying to express the % increase from $10 to $600, 600% is incorrect nor does it make any logical sense.

I guess the convicted felon's way of calculating explains why he thinks he won the 2020 election.

TrumpRx is a ripoff? shocker

That’s not even correct doing it the wrong way.

It's not called different. It's called wrong.

And why should I care if maga cult members want to buy trumprx drugs at a much higher cost?

That’s wild bc it is free on Medicaid in Colorado.

So, that would roughly be a roughly 4800% increase in real math.

Okay, so he hasn't reduced any drug from $600 to $10, but he has increased a drug from $13 to $600. That's about par for the course for "Our Favorite President."

“Alternative math”

Funny. My prescriptions are 5 times more than they were before.

Candidates should have to answer a question about percentages and if they fail, be disqualified. A simple way to get Trump disqualified.

the difference can net you $10B

The right way and the wrong way.

Not to you; but how many bankruptcies do you have?

Just as there are 2 ways of declaring how popular you are. 2 ways of declaring whether you are winning a war. One is fake news.

it's also still a lie to say any drug prices have been reduced by that much! Even setting aside the insane person math

There is technically the right way and the wrong way, I guess. Or a jillion percent as many wrong ways.

Bingo. If you say you are saving 600% out of a budget, that gives you more to "repurpose" somewhere else. A GD scammer

MAGA will be telling us all now that they have different math. I freaking hate these people

There is the right way and the wrong way. Two ways.

He was very good at conning people out of their money. Now I see why.

I have a different way that I calculate my taxes so I can’t really criticize

Two ways to do percents: the right way" and the *OMG, how much more wrong can this possibly be!?!"

Ah yes I see what you mean. I hadn't realised you could express Trump bullshit in symbols, I thought of it more as an amorphous mass of, well, bullshit.

(Realized how "well, actually" that sounded. Didn't mean that. Stand by multiple ways to do percentages for, say, quarterly versus annualized growth. They're not relevant here though.)

could be kennedy heard somewhere about the two different ways of expressing changes in risk (i.e. 1% to 2% is both a 1% and a 100% increase) though maybe even that’s too kind

Did anyone ask Linda McMahon

Two ways of calculating percentages: the right way and the wrong way

They are different, equally valid methods that produce the same result. That’s a really common thing in math. And yes, actually, there are technically infinite methods, although most involve simply introducing extraneous steps.

Plus by their own idiot numbers, that should STILL only be 590%

Yeah, the right way and the wrong way

Orwell would like a word

Bring back failing grades in school, we need to stop letting kids just coast by without actually learning anything like this ...what do you mean he's 72?

So next time your kid comes home with an F on a math test, you demand it be changed to an A because in Trump math, you kid got everything right.

Mathematics is a liberal hoax

I worry about our nation. Math is what DJT says it is? No thank you. I think I'd rather remain part of the world community that relies on the basic rules of mathematics, physics, science, etc.

So, it's the same explanation I tried in 6th grade math.

Math is hard

Calculating percentages 'different' is not a thing. This is math. That's just called lying.

Trump also has a different way of counting his scores on the golf course.

When he says different, what he should say is wrong

Ignorance definitely rules in the GOP.

Elizabeth Warren is so smart, it must physically hurt her brain to try to talk to that withered, old catcher's mitt.

Alternate calculations!

"Alternative Math" I am sure that the Wharton School is so proud of the undergraduate degree that they apparently awarded President Trump.

No wonder he went bankrupt 6 times. The correct answer - reduce $600 by 600% = -$3,000. Lots of people would like it if they would get a refund of $3,000 every time they purchased a drug costing $600. What he is talking about reducing $600 to $10 - is a 98.33% reduction. So not even 100%.

Better yet... I'll take two !

"President Trump has a different way of calculating" most everything from jobs, taxes, anything he want to calculate. He is a stubborn sleep deprived emotional five year old who can do anything he wants to do about anything and everything including his college sports problem that he is fixing.

Brainwurm counting matches with senile 🍊🤡 counting 🤷

I wasn't gonna get into his entire history of using fuzzy math. I will note he bankrupted 2 casinos, and Casinos have the house advantage.

...and the grift goes on...

Wtf

Let's see / A 10% reduction would lower it to $540. A 50% reduction would lower it to $300. A 90% reduction would lower it to $60. A 100% reduction would lower it to $0. Uh what now coach?

Let the man speak! 😂😂

Heck, standardized tests for 5th graders should do.

The Yankees have a different way to calculate a run: if you hit a home run it’s one run, if they hit a home run…

E Warren is the only Senator to write bills that threaten corporate charters when corps break the law. We need her to be elevated.

You just described his bootlicking staff! Don’t piss him off do gooders! 🤮🤬

Alternative math.

So this is why we couldn't land on the moon but had to go around it.

Or Emilie du Chatelet.

If there is a limit include l'Hopital (or the real autor Bernoulli)

I've seen no limit of characters inhabiting BlueSky...

Or Pythagoras

It's roughly what I got, and I wasn't going past the decimal point.

Math is hard. For Trump Cabinet members.....

“President Trump has a different view of patriotism and personal ethics. Every dollar that Trump LLC can claw from any source is a win for MAGA.”

Trump may lie about the economy and economics, but the economy won’t stand for being lied about.

You know, because if you are going to ascribe to a "new way" of doing Mathematics, you should follow the rantings and ravings of Trumpedo who has bankrupted 6 companies and (soon-to-be) the strongest economy in the world.

Good god insane

2+2=22. Obviously.

Have you not read 1984?

Yes, the wrong way

you've heard of fake news, now get ready for fake math

So... Trump doesn't understand percentages, got it.

I facepalmed myself so hard I got a concussion.

Was this an episode of "Are you smarter than a sixth grader…?"

The Republican Party has become so intensely stupid that it hurts.

Moron.

Still not right no matter how trump does math

Nobody has time for made up math.

No. It isn’t. Not an issue of perspective. It’s math. That’s wrong. Period. It’s either a lie or the claim of a person illiterate to basic mathematical concepts.

We are being governed by a bunch of morons.

And this explains how one person drove so many businesses to bankruptcy

Is that because his daddy paid off all his teachers to pass him?

FFS.

🙄

Shout out to Costco!

No, dumbass. $10 up to $600 is a 600% increase. Decreases don’t work that way, because you literally cannot decrease something by more than 100%. $600 down to $10 is a 98.33% decrease.

One for honest people. One for dishonest people. We know which one applies to trump.

Is this why he’s so great at failing a casino? Or steaks? Or wine? Or universities?
