Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. attempted to defend President Donald Trump's false claim that he had lowered drug prices by more than 500%.

During a Thursday event in the Oval Office, Kennedy recalled that Democrats had asked him to explain why the president had repeatedly suggested that he reduce drug prices by up to 1,000%.....

Trump and Kennedy were met with scorn online for not understanding how math works.

"These mind numbingly stupid imbecile sycophants are now trying to invent new math that doesn't exist in order to not correct the cult leader's completely brain damaged idiocy. Its truly unbelievable how dumb this is, even for these fools," political commentary account Spiro's Ghost argued.

"I give up, this isn't even worth joking about anymore," commenter Daractenus lamented.

"This is just Idiocracy-level mathematical idiocy to claim that a price dropping from $600 to $100 is a '600% savings.' Yet Trump believes this and RFK Jr. is pushing it," one mathematician pointed out. "This answer would earn an 'F' in high school math."

"It was pretty inevitable that conservatives would move from science denial to math denial," Mike Drucker observed.

"How can anyone take these morons seriously?" Peter Chalcraft asked. "They can't even understand simple math, so how can you expect them to understand complex economics and geopolitics."
