WHO’s comforting message to millions of anxious children worldwide about Father Christmas to assure them (without proof) that despite his older age they needn’t worry about his health during this pandemic crisis, as he would be able to deliver their presents on Christmas Eve—however, they are reminded that they and Santa Claus must adhere to physical social distancing and must obey their parents to sleep early on December 24.
Because Santa Claus is immune to Covid-19, WHO confirmed that most countries—except those few nations that forbid Christmas because it is an “infidel” or pagan festival—would relax their quarantine rules to enable Santa and his flying reindeer to enter their airspace, so that he could uninterruptedly and unobstructively deliver the presents before December 25.

Not just Donald Trump, but practically everyone who has ever achieved some degree of worldly success, is a charlatan—people improvise as they go along, hoping that luck and success would conspire to be on their side until they become somebody blessed with many friends (and fiends and foes).
The biographies of many successful people reveal that when faced with hit-and-hope situations, they can’t help but to bluff or fake their way through until they make it—an oft-unspoken common denominator among many rich and famous people is that everyone is a fake at some point, when they’re still a nobody.

One who insists on using the number π to a certain (oft-higher) degree of accuracy in a calculation in opposition to an assigned approximate value, with an infinitesimal or quasi-zero effect on the final answer—a case of exhibiting numerical pride rather than promoting reasonable accuracy.
