Prices falling 500-700%


For the past year I have sincerely tried every possible way to avoid blogging anything about Donald Trump, in part because I find the topic so depressing and aggravating, and because the available material would overwhelm all the other more interesting and useful material I would like to post.

But... some things are so egregiously stupid, so extraordinarily incomprehensible that they beg to be emphasized.  An average, normal 5th grader knows that you cannot reduce things by hundreds of percentages.  Yet the above (which I understand he posted on Twitter for all the world to see) is expressed by a man who considers himself a business genius.  

Does even his base believe this utter crap?

Addendum:  As long as I'm creating a Trump post, I might as well throw in this viewpoint from the U.K.:

I think I'd better close comments for this post.  Let's move on to turtles and Neolithic shell trumpets.

Addendum:  I have read (I not on Twitter) that the post about drug prices was one of 400 posts in a 4-hour period, which some are interpreting as a mania-like episode due to dementia.  Somebody in the Republican party needs to stop him for their own good.
