Can't wait for retailers like Macys to start using this math logic for their sales. Up to 500% Off!
As I explained in my newsletter, this is because Trump's team has reinvented millennia of math to invert what "percentage of change" means.

Scalise on GOP healthcare plan: "Car insurance or your homeowners insurance - you turn on the TV, there are commercials w/ lizards & all kinds of other animals that are selling you options to get lower insurance. You don't really have that in health insurance. So we want to open up the marketplace"

Speaking as the representative of a state with an obesity rate of 40%, one of the highest in the US.
Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."
