'Doofus' Trump Mocked After Numbers Failed Him In A 'Hard To Believe' Way

President Donald Trump on Thursday made a claim even he admitted was “hard to believe.”

And his critics were quick to point out why it’s so difficult to grasp: It’s literally impossible.

While unveiling a new program to reduce the cost of IVF treatments, the president boasted that he’s delivered steep discounts on the prices of all medications.

“Now I’m getting them down... 500, 600, 800%,” he said. “In some cases, even more than that. It’s hard to believe.”

IVF clinics and pharmaceutical companies are NOT going to pay people to use their services or products, which is what it means to get prices down "500, 600, 800%"

Did no GOP voter, office holder, or official ever take (and pass) a basic math test?

because if he doesn't know...

What's "hard to believe" is that the so called "leader of the free word" does not understand grade school math.
