How do you reduce drug prices by 1,000%? Does it mean that drug manufacturers will pay 900% of the price of the drug to its users?

He’s just not very smart for a President.
Good thing you qualified that with "for a President."

It’s also curious that he doesn’t wear glasses just for reading at his age. He doesn’t even want to try reading texts or understanding numbers in print. If he cared to want to read/try to make sense of content, he’d put on glasses first. But it isn’t even worth the effort to him. He probably orders the same thing at every restaurant establishment and gets testy if a waiter at Mar-a-lago hands him a list of the evening’s specials.

This is the closest we’ve gotten to someone even attempting to question his shit math skills.

He’s been making stuff up his whole life. But the stories are getting more and more ridiculou, pointing to confabulation, a common dementia symptom. This is where a person unknowingly creates and recounts false memories or experiences.

It’s not sad, it’s downright scary. He spouts all kinds of nonsense on a daily basis, including made up facts and numbers, and they don’t correct him. Clearly they’re either afraid to correct him or he is their useful idiot. It’s not the right way to run the most powerful country on the Earth.
