From the article:

The U.S. Census Bureau reported there were roughly 340 million people in the U.S. in 2024, which would have meant that more than two-thirds of the country's population would have died if the president were correct.

"More than two-thirds" is such a stupid understatement of 88%. It's also more than three-fourths, and four-fifths, and five-sixths, and six-sevenths, and seven-eighths. He thinks almost 8 people for every 9 people in the US died last year, just from drugs. The man is senile.
