Impossible 1,500% prescription drug price reduction
Trump claimed in early August: “You know, we’ve cut drug prices by 1,200, 1,300, 1,400, 1,500%. I don’t mean 50%. I mean 14-, 1,500%.” CNN and others pointed out that this is not only inaccurate but does not make mathematical sense, since a 100% price cut would make the drugs free and a cut of 1,200% or more would presumably mean Americans would be getting paid to buy medications.
Trump has continued using the fake figures anyway.
He promised Monday that “I’m going to be reducing drug prices by 1,400 to 1,500%,” then Tuesday that “we’re not talking about a 25% cut or a 50 – we’re talking about a 1,500% cut.”
