Statements like that are very triggering to my alter ego, Needlessly Pedantic Man.

He is _certainly_ not the only one making such claims. My god, I die internally every time I see them

> “I got the biggest price reduction in history on drugs, pharmaceuticals…you could say it’s a 1,000 percent reduction.” Trump has yet to explain how a price can fall more than 100%.

This made me laugh.

President Donald Trump constantly blusters as if he deserves the ‘Nobel Prize for Economic Triumphs,’ just like he supposedly deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. Last week in a speech in Iowa, he doubled down on his triumphs by referring to himself in the third person:

“Just after one year of President Trump, our economy is booming…Incomes are rising. Investment is soaring. Inflation has been defeated.”

Unfortunately, Trump’s record on the economy is as shaky as his claims that he ended eight wars.
