Honestly, expecting a man who thinks he’s lowering drug prices by “1500 %” to understand how tariffs work is a bit of a stretch. This is the sort of math the nuns at Saint Mary’s of Mount Carmel school taught us in 2nd grade. The fact that our current President does not grasp 2nd grade math should be concerning to everybody.

But of course it’s not. Because I’ve seen MAGAs stand up and war-whoop over what they think is about to happen to their prescription costs, not grasping the fact that, if the math was correct, the pharmacist would be paying them to fill their bottomless Oxy bottles. Which means that a lot of people we both know also don’t understand 2nd grade math. Which should also be concerning, especially in an age where the person in charge of public education has received multiple Stone Cold Stunners, Tombstones, and Rock Bottoms.
