Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is facing heavy criticism on social media after claiming that Donald Trump “calculates percentages differently from everyone else,” even when he is simply wrong.
Some say math is an exact science. That certainly doesn’t seem to be the case for Trump and his supporters, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who suggested that the American president simply does calculations in a way that is “different from everyone else.”
“If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that’s a 600 percent reduction,” said RFK Jr. However, reducing a price from $600 to $10 results in a 98 percent discount—not 600 percent, as he claimed.
This came after Trump said he had achieved a “tremendous drop in drug prices” in August last year. “You know, we cut drug prices by 1,200, 1,300, 1,400, 1,500 percent. I don’t mean 50 percent. I mean 1,400, 1,500 percent.”
Because of this, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s recent comments about Trump’s calculation method sparked widespread criticism on social media. “We are living in the dumbest timeline [ever],” wrote one user on X.
“There’s no way to work for Trump without humiliating yourself,” said another. “This is stupid beyond belief,” commented a third user. “Do you think the IRS would accept that explanation if I used it in a tax evasion case?” asked another.
“President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that’s a 600% reduction.”
