Try to KEEP UP as you watch Trump’s “math” skills
MS NOW
0:01 according to president trump he is one of the most intelligent people alive
0:03 and if there's one way that he
0:06 loves proving it it's showing off his mathematical
0:09 expertise speaking at the villages in Florida on Friday he again cited a recent
0:14 cognitive test that he aced to prove it watch this tough questions, you know.
0:24 They say take a number, any number, okay, I'll take 99, multiply times 9, okay?
0:30 Divide it by 3, good.
0:32 Add 4 ,293, that's good.
0:35 Divide by 2, SUBTRACT 92, SUBTRACT 93, DIVIDE BY 9, WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER?
0:45 YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO SPARE YOU HOW THAT TRUMP DIDN'T STOP THERE.
0:49 THE PRESIDENT ALSO TOOK THE TIME TO VERY SIMPLY BREAK
0:52 DOWN THE ALLEGED PRICE CUTS HIS ADMINISTRATION HAS DELIVERED FOR AMERICANS.
0:57 TRUMP DIDN'T STOP THERE.
1:00 We are delivering you the record-setting
1:03 discounts with price differences of 400 percent,
1:07 500 percent, and 600, 700, and even sometimes 800% reductions.
1:14 Now, some people would say it's 80, 90, 70.
1:18 It depends on the way you phrase the statement.
1:20 But it could be 500, 600 percent.
1:22 It could be 90 percent.
1:23 It's all.
1:24 It doesn't matter.
1:25 We've gotten you the largest reductions in history, the largest reduction.
1:31 It doesn't matter.
1:32 I can just lie about it and you are
1:34 going to be dumb enough to believe it because, you know, mathematically,
1:36 if I tell you something has gone down 600 percent,
1:40 then you're basically telling the consumer I'm paying you to take the medicine.
1:45 I got to give him this.
1:46 It's kind of brilliant because like my eyes just glaze over when
1:49 he starts saying all those percentages and I'm not like even trying.
1:52 And then you're just kind of like, oh, whatever.
1:55 I know, right?
1:55 So then that's but that's the point.
1:57 It's just to completely get you so turned upside down and knots that you have
2:02 no YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING
2:04 AND YOUR TAXES ARE PROBABLY GOING UP ANYWAY.
2:07 YOUR TAXES ARE PROBABLY GOING UP ANYWAY.
2:08 I WAS GOING TO SAY, WE SHOULD BE FAIR.
2:11 YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO CALCULATE Well,
2:14 anything over 100% decrease, as Eamon pointed out,
2:17 means that the price is negative and they're paying you,
2:20 which is not how anything works.
2:22 Not how it works, yeah.
2:23 And I just want to point out that Donald Trump Trump has a league
2:28 of cabinet members and other flunkies to back him up on this new map.
2:33 Let's play some of that, RFK Jr.,
2:36 for President Trump, these are discounted from $242 to $10.
2:55 I don't know what the math is on that.
2:56 We can't even calculate it.
2:58 It's a lot.
2:59 It's too high to calculate without a more studied APPROACH.
3:06 DR.
3:06 OZ IS A HEART TRANSPLANT SURGEON, MAYBE RFK COULDN'T CALCULATE IT BUT DR.
3:11 OZ KNOWS WHAT DO THEY REQUIRE YOU TO GET ON YOUR MCAT
3:15 TO GET into whatever anyway whatever um i just want to offer some advice
3:20 to the the youngins who may be watching this which is kids don't grow
3:27 up to work for someone who makes you say two plus two equals five.
3:32 Right?
3:32 Don't grow up to be employed.
3:35 Nothing is worth it.
3:36 Nothing is worth it.
3:37 Your soul is not worth it.
3:39 To be clown and humiliate yourself this way by wearing
3:42 the big shoes that don't fit and saying he has a different.
3:46 My boss has a different calculating.
3:48 Never, ever, ever go to an accountant who practices
3:51 new math because you will end up in trouble.
3:54 I just want to play one more of this.
3:55 And this is a lot Nick explaining Trump now.
3:57 Let's take a listen to Howard.
3:58 Now what he's saying is if a drug was
4:02 $100 and you bring the drug down to $13, right?
4:08 If you're looking at it from $13, it's down seven times.
4:12 Well, but it's 700% higher priced before.
4:17 It's down 700% now, right?
4:19 So a $13 would have to go up 700% to get back to the old one.
4:23 So it all depends on when you look at it.
4:25 You could say it's down 87% or you could say it
4:28 would have to go up 700% to be the same one.
4:32 So So it just depends on what you look at it.
4:34 Tighten a finance, right?
4:35 No, the secretary of commerce.
4:38 That one was more painful because he's the secretary of freaking commerce.
4:42 And again, he ran Cantor Fitzgerald, right?
4:46 Like he clearly knows better.
4:47 Makes you really wonder about the world of levels.
4:50 Anyway, all right, we'll leave it there still to come.
