I wonder whether RFK Jnr realises just how stupid this makes him and his boss sound?
Or maybe Trump, a self-confessed brilliant person, really has come up with a new way of counting which would baffle Einstein.
Or, and I’m just putting this out there for consideration, maybe he’s not really very clever at all.

Cutting prices on drugs with 5-600%... So either americans will be paid way more than they are paying today to get their drugs, or your president does not understand percentages. He has done this before, so it is not a mistake. Trump can't count. How is this accepted?

UI tip: maybe don't round percentages to 0% or 100%

Rounding to 0% is bad because the user may think there's been no progress. Rounding to 100% is bad because the user may think things are done when they aren't.
