Tr*mp is going to reduce drug prices by 1,000%!

So, in other words, they'll pay us to take drugs?!?!?!

(SNIP)
President Donald Trump is getting heat on social media for making a claim on Tuesday about cutting drug prices that’s essentially mathematically impossible.

Trump began promisingly enough with a complaint shared by Democrats and Republicans alike: the high cost of medication, and how much more Americans pay for some medications than patients in other countries.

No way he could've passed them himself--not having this kind of dimwittery rattling around in his cranium. Stay-bull JEENYUS? Ri-i-ight.......... In a battle of smarts, a leafy vegetable could take him.

But the media just skims over it. If this were Biden it would be headline news about his mental fitness and/.or lying. It would be a big story. The media is the state media controlled by the GOP now.

He can only remember big ideas but no details,
so he magnifies them with big numbers that
make no sense.

His mind is blown.

His willful ignorance is stunning, but it's his fans' deification of this idiocy that will forever have me scratching my head. As a younger teen, I was always skeptical that a little piglet like Adolph could have conned an entire nation. As an adult, I realize he didn't have, he only needed to con 20% of 'em to get the job done.
