Math matters

As a retired math teacher I am both amused and horrified by President Trump's math failure. He is going to reduce pharmaceutical prices by up to 1000%.

If you have one whole object you have 100% of it. If you cut 10% off you still have 90% and so on. The most you can get rid off is 100% or all of it.

Not even Donald Trump can do more than that and to say so is either ignorance or lying or maybe in this case both. Please have someone check your calculations and don't be surprised if the next insurrection is from a bunch of math teachers.
