TL;DR Summary

Trump’s claims of prescription drug price cuts (up to 1,500%) are mathematically impossible; CNN fact-checks show a drop from $242 to $10 is a 95.9% reduction, not the hundreds of percent cited. RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz defended the numbers—Kennedy claiming a different way of calculating and Oz insisting the drop is 'too high to calculate'—both incorrect. White House aides pivoted to a separate point about paying fairer prices abroad, illustrating a pattern of allies defending Trump’s inaccurate math.
