    RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'"

    Trump: "Right"

      @aaron.rupar 100 to 600 is a 500% rise, Bobby

        @aaron.rupar Obviously neither one of them understand how math works, how it actually doesn’t work both ways. Or maybe they know good and well #I have a feeling that Junior at least knew it at one time in his past) and are just being trolls.

              @Thad @aaron.rupar That’s my favorite part. I laughed my ass off. It’s just a couple of guys who literally do not know what words mean acting like they’re the smartest guys in the room.

                If something costs $600 and you get it for 100% off, how much does he think it costs? $540?

                  Um... a sixfold increase would turn 100 into 600.

                    @huntingdon Motherfucker did you just "um" me?

                    A sixfold increase IS a 500% increase. 100 + 500 = 600.

                    Do you think if you increase 100 by 25%, you get 25?

                        Getting both parts wrong even.

                        Starting at $100
                        +600%
                        = $700
                        -600%
                        = $-3500

                        Not mathematically impossible, not even financially impossible (electricity prices will be negative here tomorrow), but druggies are going to get freaking rich if this was to happen.

                          @huntingdon @Thad if only RFK used the word “six-fold”, but he didn’t. He said “600% rise”. By conflating the two, you are trying to justify your obvious bootlicking. Hey math genius, show me the mathematical formula that turns 600 into 100 by reducing by 600%, or how to turn 100 into 600 by multiplying by 600%. I’ll wait to be schooled…
