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

Independent analysis = pulling a figure out of your rectum.
But, but, It isn’t really $10 trillion. It’s paper money!
Chris Wallace is a tax and spender. Clueless twit. But he has better hair than his dad.
Sorry, not doing the click bait. What’s the point of this article?
Oh, I get it. Yet another attack on Trump by the entrenched media establishment who will lose bucks and influence if he wins.
I thought Trumps math was fine when he flipped Ted’s dumb point back against him at the debate. Ted tried to say that Trump at 35% meant 65% didn’t like him. So Trump said that Ted at 15% meant 85% didn’t like him!
And while he's playing that game, he' not bothering me.
Yeah, you guessed it. It's really a quality of life issue.
On my behalf.
These guys just don’t grok the financial advantages of the savings they may accrue as the result of elimination of governmental influence peddling, and pink-slipping the former congressmen-lobbyists on their payrolls.
The ground is opening under their feet.
I looked at that “independent analysis” and it assumed current spending levels would be maintained. Might happen with Cruz or Rubio, but as Donald Trump says, “Ain’t gona happen!” with Donald Trump.
Obviously the same source Trump uses for his figures.
This article brings up a serious issue. It is a little known fact that most billionaires lack basic math skills. This, more than anything else, is the secret to their success.
The “elimination of governmental influence peddling” is EXACTLY what IBD and its advertisers are worried about!
I don’t see anybody analyzing the other candidates plans and asking them how the math adds up. Where are the breakdowns of Marco and Ted’s plans? Why is it only Trump?
How about this basic math TRUMP IS ON HIS WAY TO 1440 delegates.
Yepper, only Trump.

It’s Common Core math and everybody gets a little plastic trophy for successful participation, so shut up.
I can’t say this for sure, but I think the $300 billion figure refers to better purchasing across all the departments of government. As much savings can be achieved by buying Eurofighters rather than the F-35. Also, by buying French frigates rather the Littoral Combat Ships. But, of course, we’d like American companies to produce the armored vehicles, warplanes and warships we acquire. And, if they were cost competitive, we’d be able to sell such things to allied countries, improving our balance of trade deficit. With regard to pharmaceutical drugs, if we re-visited our product liability laws, we could return their manufacture to the U.S. Again, this would mean jobs, improve our balance of trade, and improve our readiness to deal with response to disease. There all lots of movings parts to all of these considerations. Bottom line is that the government is so f-ed up, that we’re going bankrupt and our economy is screwed, our military and our health care are weak.
