Oh my goodness.  I had to comment on this.

Trump’s ‘growing inability to form thoughts’ on full display during presser: journalist

“Now, drug prices are gonna be going down a 100%, 400%, 600%, 1,000% in some cases, but for one eighth of a cent,” Trump said Friday during the announcement at the White House. “I was so proud because for 28 years nobody had done it.”  (from MSN.com)

Sir, you cannot drop the price of something – anything – by more than 100%.  If you drop something by 1000%, that means that you must pay the customer 9 times the previous value of the product.

Mr. Trump, I’m available for math tutoring.  Please fill out my application.

If you cannot afford me, you can self study.  Percents are covered in Complete Canadian Curriculum Grade 8 page 038-041 1 Mathematics 9 Application of Percent e1 Trump.pdf.  (Grade 8 material)

hidden humour

This is part of a Session Report made after tutoring.  (Session Reports are written after every session and sent to the company.)

Our studies today focussed on the human eye.  We saw the various parts of the eye in diagrams and identified various problems with sight.  The tutor saw growth in student’s understanding of the endocrine system as well.  We also touched on the nervous system. 

I include some hidden humour in every session report, yet no one has ever commented on them.  Am I the only one who thinks this is funny?
