No wonder the economy is fucked.
OriginalPrice - OriginalPrice * PercentReduced = TotalCostNow
Original Price = $100
Percent Reduced = 87%
Total Cost now $13
100 - 100 * 0.87 = 13
It's not down 700%, it's 13% of the original. The original $100 cost is 7.7x higher than the $13 cost, but you don't just get to keep making up bigger numbers to make yourself look better especially when none of the prices they're talking about are actually less than the original price--and in the rare case the prices have gone down, it's not significantly down.
These dudes are gonna start claiming math is fake news. They’re dumb as humans can possibly be given the technological advancements they have.
They've always claimed math was fake news. Republicans have been calling legitimate science fake news since long before Trump took to the scene. For at least 50 years Republicans have been screaming at our education system for making kids dumber because when kids learn the correct stuff it completely nullified any republican talking point. They've made up their facts for decades.
No, there was no attempt to math. There was an attempt to deceive. And a lot of people in this country will buy right into the deceit and repeat it as fact. Think of how many people believe every single word that he slurs our of those juicy lips.
