trump's claim about the price of eggs going down 400%

I was amused when I saw this. trump does not understand even simple mathematical concepts which is how he managed to bankrupt a couple of casinos and declare bankruptcy multiple times.

I agree that this is a sign of trump's mental illnesses

I’ve told you ad nauseam that Trump’s always been an imbecile, and that now dementia has caused his cognitive abilities to worsen.

Here, the President of the United States fails to understand how the simple concept of percentage works.

You elected the dumbest man in the world.

And law for another 10 - This particular comment doesn't show he is daft or the dumbest man in the world.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if around half the folks in the country didn't recognize his statement as mathematically (and economically) ridiculous.

That's not to say he isn't an imbecile. Just that there is an astonishing amount of math illiteracy in this country.
