Trump's brags about drug price cuts are 'mathematically impossible'

President Donald Trump claimed to be planning a massive reduction in drug costs for Americans, but critics were quick to point out his numbers don't add up. In a reception with members of Congress on Tuesday, Trump spoke about lowering drug prices for Americans at a time when cuts to programs like Medicaid are on the horizon. In doing so, Trump promised some truly staggering figures. 'We will have reduced drug prices by 1000%, by 1,100%, 1,200%, 1,300%, 1,400%, 700%, 600%.  Not 30% or 40% or 50%. But numbers likes of which you've never even dreamed of.... We're gonna get the drug prices down not 30% or 40%, which would be great. Not 50% or 60%. No, we're gonna get them down 1,000%, 600%, 500%, 1,500%. Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.' Trump's comments left social media users scratching their heads. Users asked X's AI chatbot Grok about Trump's claims. Grok variously called them 'mathematically impossible,' 'hyperbolic,' and in one case, 'total bullsh**t.'
