An article by Ted Johnson at Deadline on December 17, 2025 is titled Donald Trump used primetime address to insist “inflation is stopped” and “prices are down” – and to blame much on Joe Biden. It says:
“He also talked of reducing prescription drug prices by 400% to 600%, defying mathematics.”
As is shown above, if we extrapolate beyond the 100% decrease which makes sense, a 200% reduction means the seller would instead nonsensically pay the buyer the full price. A 400% reduction fraudulently means the seller would pay the buyer 3 times the price - and a 600% reduction means the seller would pay the buyer 5 times the price. But that’s not the first time Trump made these very silly statements. Another article by Bruce Y. Lee at Forbes on August 2, 2025 is titled Trump Says He Will Get Drug Prices Down By 500% to 1500%.
