Good to see Vernon's calculator in use. What's a few zeros among friends?

It's almost as if this six times bankrupt (even running a gambling den) and nearly three-score times convicted felon hasn't got a clue, except when it comes to lying and thievery.

Do we have 10's of trillion in new investment or can we not afford to continue to help 10's of millions of Americans with healthcare expenses? Trump wants you to believe both statements are true.

Pedo 47 is known for pulling ridiculous numbers from his Putin-gaped meat hole.

He also said he was going to drop prescription drug prices by 700 percent (or something like that). Apparently MAGA can't math.

" He also said he was going to drop prescription drug prices by 700 percent"

The scariest thing is, because of his error, all of his sycophants started repeating the same lie. In other words, instead of correcting him, they decided to fib with him. That means his advisors are either too stupid, or too afraid of Trump, to be of any use. It's not good in either case.

That was in the job description.

He said the Arabs promised a trill... which is 80% of their gdp...

Yeah right... uh huh...

From the party that thought Sarah Palin was a good idea.

Well this is the same President who promised to bring down medication prices 700%.

You know, where the pharma companies pay YOU to take their drugs.
