OP please post a link, I can't believe they are this bad at math, unless they mean people are now "illegally" crossing out of the US

I'm guessing they mean an over 100% increase of the decrease of the period-over-period amount.
It's not necessarily wrong, but it is, in fact, a really, really stupid way of communicating information, which is very on brand of them and their supporters.

Listen, if you have to jump through hoops to stretch the meaning of a phrase, just to raise the idea that the phrase might not be completely asinine, it might be a better use of your time to just let it be. You shouldn't have to do mental gymnastics and word judo just to squeeze a non-obvious semi-literate meaning out of something the leader of the free world said. Don't do their work for them (unless you are being paid to do their work for them, of course... but get paid up front, because they aren't very good about honoring contracts).

I'm merely trying to explain what I interpret as their logic, not justify it or say that it's acceptable - it's not. You and I are in agreement here. The US has clowns leading the country. Absolute fucking clowns.

if you can do the linear algebra equations necessary to make all these nonsense statements have a glimmer of truth you should emigrate to the EU while you still can

It's insane that he can just pull random numbers out of his ass and his supporters will keep taking them as fact.
USA has not contributed 3 times as much as EU in support of Ukraine. In fact it has contributed less.

It’s Elon’s DOGE math.

I guess they might say if you include the deportations it'd be over 100%

Including "self deportations". It is mathematically possible. Unlikely. But possibly.
