RFK Jr: “President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 and you reduce it to $10, that’s a 600% reduction.”

      Yeah. I totally get that there are 2 ways to calculate percentages. One way involves math. The other way involves just making up numbers. 

      If anyone wants to know how to calculate percentages it’s this: (What I made – What I paid)/What I paid

      So in this instance where I made $10 for a truck I paid 600 for: ($10-$600)/$600 = – 98%. Notice how 98% does not equal 600%.

      This is the clearest example yet of how Trump’s cabinet speak to an audience of one. It doesn’t matter how stupid it makes you look to anyone else. Only Trump’s opinion of it matters.

    3. So he’s wrong about how math works. Just say it “Trump doesn’t agree with everyone else on the planet about *how fucking math works*.”

    4. how are we to believe anything that comes out of the government if they just make up numbers and math to exaggerate their position/illusions.

    5. I am almost at the point where I think this is AI. The guy looks made up, the arguments seem to out-there to be weird, and the whole vibe is just fictous…

      “Ah, so you see, Trump is a moron who is confidently incorrect, and expects reality to bend to his infantile and inconsistent understanding of the world”

    7. This man is a member of the Cabinet. He was approved by Congress. It is hard to fully grasp how fucked we are. It’s only been 15 months but the destruction they have wrought is, literally, incalculable.
