Watch: Trump supporter confused by math in his vision of President Ivanka's future time in office

https://www.alternet.org/2019/12/watch-trump-supporter-confused-by-math-in-his-vision-of-president-ivankas-future-time-in-office/



The mathematical skills of a Donald Trump supporter were called into question during an interview with The Daily Show correspondent Jordan Klepper.

Klepper interviewed the man — with a Trump hat and shirt — at a Trump campaign rally.

“Why are you here?”

“Well, because two weeks ago I had a dream and in that dream I had this vision,” he said, as he turned around to show what was printed on the back of his shirt.

It showed a “Trump dynasty.”

Klepper however noticed some errors with the shirt.

“These are mostly one-term presidents,” he noted.

“No, you’re not reading it right, brother,” the Trump supporter replied. “What does it say for Ivanka? What is the date?”

“Ivanka is 2024 to 2028,” Klepper replied.

“That’s eight years,” the Trump supporter claimed.

“That’s four years!” Klepper replied. “Your math is wrong.”

“No, my math is not wrong,” the Trump supporter claimed.

America's exceptional greatness on display at every Trump rally

His math isn't wrong, school has just made us soft and weak. It's alternative math. The type of math the globalist deep state doesn't want us to know about.

1. Yeah, he needed a "&" instead of a "-", with what he had in mind.

end up killing themselves or others (they're so dumb). I hate saying this about people, but this is like giving a lighted match to a gasoline station attendant (or something similar). In today's society, being this way doesn't go far, especially in view of the fact that we, as a species, are racing into the 21st century, with everything being updated and changed due to the Digital Age being ushered in (from the Industrial Revolution).

Not codes and dog whistles, not "eh, you know what I meant", just plain standard English.

11. Then it should probably read, say, Ivanka: 2024, 2028

Not a date range that everyone else in the world would read as a 1-term presidency

But they are election years, not the year the term starts. Single terms would be 2017 - 2021, etc.

Although that T-shirt Should put the fear of God into every ambitious Republican not named Trump.
By supporting trump through thick or thin the ambitious Republicans, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, rand Paul, etc. have cock blocked themselves from the nomination for the next 20 something years
