RFK Jr. challenges a Democratic senator’s claim that a 600% drug price drop is impossible by pointing out that if a price goes from $600 down to $100, that’s technically a 600% savings from the higher price. Trump chimes in with agreement.
- RFK Jr. claimed a drop from $600 to $100 equals a "600% savings," which is mathematically wrong (it's actually a 500/6 ≈ 83% decrease).
- Trump agreed with RFK Jr.'s flawed math in real time, saying "Right."
- The exchange was used by a reporter to illustrate how the administration frames drug pricing with misleading statistics.
