Donald Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, slammed the president for being unable to do “basic” math in a new YouTube video. She said his claims on drug price cuts were “mathematically impossible.”
In one clip, Trump boasted drug prices have fallen by 1,200 to 1,500 percent. Mary Trump pointed out a 1,500 percent discount would require companies to pay patients.
She noted that an asthma inhaler costing seven hundred dollars every two months would pay her over one million dollars at that rate. She called it a clear math fail.
Mary Trump added that cutting a cost by more than 100 percent cannot happen. She said only the president would miss that basic fact about percentages.
She accused him of firing people who track economic data to hide his errors. That, she said, underscores his incompetence and idiocy.
Mary then highlighted his remarks on job creation. Trump claimed “virtually 100 percent of net job gains” went to migrants and even “beyond the number of 100 percent.”
She reacted with incredulity, saying it defies math. Exceeding 100 percent of anything is impossible, she stated, calling the claim absurd.
Mary contrasted Trump’s numbers with President Biden’s. She said Trump has created half as many jobs as Biden did in the same period last year.
Viewers flooded the comments. One wrote he “can’t even put a coherent sentence together.” Another mocked his “tiny dementia riddled mind.”
Critics agreed his math fails reveal a deeper issue. They called for more scrutiny of his economic statements and a check on his data sources.
Mary Trump, who says he’s declining rapidly after diagnosis, added these blunders show his fading grip. Her remarks follow a clip of Donald making an announcement about cutting drug costs.
Analysts say mathematical precision matters in policy talk. Errors can mislead the public and undermine trust in official announcements.
As election season heats up, such missteps could become campaign fodder. Opponents may use Trump’s arithmetic errors to question his competence.
Mary Trump’s viral video underscores a family feud playing out in public. Her blunt remarks add drama to an already contentious political climate.
Observers will watch for Trump’s next economic claim. After these math fails, few will accept his figures at face value.
