That he needs learn simple arithmetic?
If he really said that, and if he meant it literally rather than merely exaggerating for effect, it would not be the first time he has displayed not understanding percentages. Which would be curiously naive for a property-speculator!
(If you reduce a selling price by 100%, the goods become free. Reducing by >100% means the seller pays the customer to take the goods away...)

@Northwest Hhe really did! A supposed businessman too. Trying to reduce what the taxpayers pay for medicines supplied via the State system is fine, but he seemed very unsure of basic money sums and how percentages work. I gained the impression he does not really know the figures.
Yet all the while he tries to claim personal credit for it? Was the work done by him or by ministers and civil-servants who are experts in that field?
Then I lost the thread completely when he drifted away to insulting someone personally, which is not fair or statesmanlike, rather than constructively criticising that person's official actions, which is fair if they were mistaken.
