When the land of a thousand smiles of 70 million people that shares porous borders with four countries, with 4,000-plus corona cases and 60 deaths so far, is now seeing an outbreak among hundreds of its Myanmar migrants, who work at the Mahachai market—the heart of Thailand's multi-billion-dollar seafood industry.

Any math concept, formula, or theorem that can’t be simplistically or half-accurately be explained in a tweet, or using 280 characters, is likely to be too complex or confusing to the millions of pro-Trump blue-collar or MAGA workers and alt-right “fine patriots.”
If you can’t explain any Trump math to an oft-morally bankrupt and mathematically challenged Trumpublican, QAnonist, or statistical evangelical, you probably don’t understand it yourself.
