Trump on Drug Costs

Trump: "You understand, and we're gonna be reducing drug costs over the next year, year and a half, by not by 50 or 60 percent, by 1000 percent. Because if you think a 10 dollar pill, so, it will be raised up from 10 to 20 because it's the world versus us, so the world is the bigger place. So, it will go from ten to twenty. It won't go from 10 to 50 or 60, for them, which is bearable. And it will go from 10 to 20 for us."

Seriously, that is exactly what he said.

Somehow, a pill that costs 10 dollars in the US will go to 20 dollars and that amounts to a 1000 percent reduction in costs.

For the math impaired, a 1000 percent decrease implies they pay you to take the pill.
