For a person who claims to be an incredible businessman, Donald Trump sometimes seems to have difficulty handling simple addition and subtraction.

Yeah. Just like the expert analysis that supports Trumps plan.
Donald’s always firmly opposed influence pedaling. LOL.
I don’t agree with flat tax everybody pays something. It will cost more to collect and process low dollar amounts than the dollar amount collected. They will be revenue negative. Zero owed would be more efficient for the low income taxpayer.
I rest my case.
Here is where Trump’s numbers are correct.
Obamacare is based on public utility model which guarantees that all authorized costs will be covered with revenues plus a rate of return on those costs.
So in San Bernardino, California, an Obamacare health organization is renting building space at $4 per sq. ft. in a market area where rent is $1 per sq. ft. They don’t care because Obamacare will pay the higher cost. This will lead to fraud as tenants will end up leasing from relatives who buy the buildings to get the 4 times higher rent.
Ever see an old Southern California Edison maintenance truck? No. Why? Because they get a higher rate base the higher they keep expenses. Same with Obamacare.
Here is another real world example. An “anger management counselor” (not licensed psychologist or social worker) applies to rent space in a business park. When the broker inquires who will pay the rent, the prospective tenant says Obamacare. So you can go into the business of being an “anger management counselor” with no training or credentials and Obamacare will pay for your rent. Of course, it helps if you also fall into a certain politically favored category.
In Donald’s mind, arithmetic is negotiable, like everything else.
Because Trump's plan is the only one that doesn't balance. The others get the basic math right.
Sprechen Sie English? Was macht "grok"?
You have certainly nailed the fundamental issue with Trump. He often speaks in incomplete sentences and interrupted thoughts. Supporters then read their own ideas into his positions. He becomes all things to all people. Others have more derogatory words for this behavior.
Garbage in... garbage out.. just like obamacare and the cbo.
“...pulling a figure out of your rectum. “
We can start calling that “brown math.”
Grok: to unnerstan sumphin’
All politicians have a problem with math.
100% sure trump does not personally handle payroll. So you have a failled analogy.
From the Heinlein novel “Stranger in a Strange Land.”
Donald is the pioneer of common core math.
That depends on many factors. One factor is how many businesses they start or take over, another is just the general business climate for each business, and another is the skill of the businessman and "his team."
Bain Capital under Romney has many bankruptcies. Certainly more than 4. I'm not saying Romney is an incredible businessman, but he is generally considered to be a successful one.
It’s just a repeat of Wallace’s gotcha questions from the debate.
A moderator bringing power point slides and film clips to a “debate”. What an ass.
Your fact is total BS
Ask Bill Gates if he's bad at basic math. He should be really, really bad at it.
Trump the multi-billionaire is in the black and the Fed Govt has us in deep red $19 trillion in debt. Who gets an A on the math report card?
