It's not the bad math. They were, after all, reading someone else's tweet.
But he alludes to actually doing the math. Like he was actually paying attention. Or knew stuff.

In the words of Mara Gay from the NYT editorial board "it's disturbing".

HTF is this guy still on television?

Oh yeah. MSNBC.

It's a rehash of an old troll. I don't recall what the original was about, I think it was obamacare. Had a couple people here fooled. People don't manage digits well, so if you use significantly large enough numbers and intentionally refer to different numbers of similar magnitude differently you can trick people for a few minutes until their brains catch up.

I think the original troll was something like that but "Obama care costs XXX million, with that money we could just give each person XX dollars". At least I think I recall that circulating.
