Right. Which is why you'd think he might realize that it doesn't make sense and maybe look again and realize it's not $50 million being spent on condoms [1]. He and Trump are supposed to be savy businessmen. If I can look at this, do some quick math based on the cost of a condom, and conclude that can't be right, surely these experienced business leaders should have at least as good instincts, right? So either they are lying intentionally or are not half as competent as they claim.
