It's April 23rd. This is Canada News today, your AI-powered local news. President Trump lit up the mic at a Regeneron Drug Deal event, bragging that his push-cut prescription prices by over 100% straight up, 500-600% in some spots. That's the headline, folks, impossible math unless companies pay you to pop those pills. He owned the big numbers, but said sometimes they dial it back to 50-60%, calling it a different calculation that hits 70-80, even 90. People get it, he claims, and it all shakes out the same either way. Health chief Robert F. Kennedy Jr. jumped into back him, saying drug makers jacked prices over 100% first, like from 100, dollars to 600, then Trump slashed him deep, wiping out those hikes. Critics like Senator Elizabeth Warren roasted it at a hearing, pointing out cuts over 100% mean-free drugs plus cash back, which ain't. How math rolls? Basic say you can't drop more than 100% without going negative.

Trump sprinkled more off-be figures too, like the Iran War wrapping in his predicted four to six weeks when his drag over seven and a half. Plus, that old inauguration crowdflex keeps the debate rolling on what numbers really mean.
