Trump's 'fake math' on drug prices

Trump's 'fake math' on drug prices

The debate over drug affordability has taken a surreal turn as the White House promotes figures that have been widely debunked by economists and fact-checkers.

Trump's insistence that prices have dropped by more than 100% has been described as 'fake math' by critics who argue the administration is misleading the public ahead of the midterms.

RFK Jr. attempted to clarify the president's position by citing a Congressional Budget Office report, but his explanation only added to the confusion.

Despite the controversy, the administration continues to tout its drug pricing deals as a major victory for American consumers.
