Yes, which means mathematically illiterate. One definition of illiterate is to know little or nothing about a particular subject. Not just reading and writing.
That broadened definition -- like computer literacy or financial literacy -- is a sort of popular media way of drawing an analogy. But it's not a real definition of the word, whose etymology relates to letters and written docs.
PPP is correct. Should be innumerate.
Merriam-Webster does not agree

An idiot who can't stop telling anyone and everyone that he's a genius. And MAGA swallow it up every time. Certainly the pied piper for idiots in our nation.

Not just Fox. Every single media outlet. Even msnbc and other liberal media. In the aftermath of the debate, I could not watch, read, or listen to any news on any network without constant talk about his debate performance. But Trump is way more concerning than Biden’s debate every single day, and the media says nothing about it.

I think I may have figured out how they came up with this math.
Let's pretend that a medicine is $200.
200/6.54 = $30.58.
If the price were 30.58 to start and increased 658% then it would be $200. That's a really dumb way to go about it, but so is this administration.
It would be easier to say reducing the price by up to 85% but they think that 654% is a bigger number. Similar to the issue that the US had with understanding that 1/3 is bigger than 1/4.

Thankfully, his days in politics are numbered. Once he's gone, our challenge will be getting the toxic influence of money out of politics. There is no successful way forward with two corrupt major political parties and this will remain the case with or without Trump.
