Trump is well documented to lie more frequently and egregiously than any politician that ran in this election - by a mile. You really should not answer you own bullshit proposition with a flat out falsehood.

This one is fun... Trump said that he would allow Medicare to negotiate directly with drug companies, thus saving $300 billion a year. This made little sense, given that the prescription drug portion of the Medicare program costs only $78 billion a year. Total annual spending on prescription drugs in the United States is between $298 and $423 billion, which suggests Trump thinks he can eliminate virtually any cost to prescription drugs. Once again, we are confronted with a nonsense figure from the mouth of Donald Trump.

So is this one... Trump repeatedly claims that Clinton “lost” or “misplaced” $6 billion of taxpayers’ funds while she was secretary of state, as part of an effort to rebut news stories about the nearly $1 billion loss that he claimed in a 2005 tax return. But this figure stems from a misunderstanding of a Inspector General report that highlighted missing paperwork for about $6 billion in contracts. No money was lost – and most of the contracts in question stemmed from the Bush administration, before Clinton became secretary of state.
