Donald Trump recently stated: ‘I am reducing drug prices by 200–300–400%. Nobody even talks about it. The Democrats are opposed to it. If they come into office, the drug prices will go up by 300–400–500%.’ Analysis: This statement is mathematically and logically absurd. A reduction of 100% would mean the price of a drug is zero (free). A reduction of 200%, 300%, or 400% is…
