Everyone is a fake

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.

Avoid Pi Like the Plague

An ill-advised mantra math-anxious folks unquestionably take to heart on hearing it from negative or unhelpful people, who are only contaminating the minds of their listeners with fake mathematical information.
To tell someone to avoid pi like the plague is like telling them that π is a rational number because it can be expressed as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.

The Holey Bible

A specially designed Bible with a cross-shaped hole that runs across the front and back covers of the holy book to remind readers that Jesus died on the cross for their sins, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
No one knows how many original copies of “The Holey Bible”—a collectors’ item among both believers and unbelievers—are in circulation.

Pi Inferiority Complex

When the sight or sound of the symbol π triggers a negative reaction in people’s mind, which makes them feel or think that they are hopeless at school math or algebra or geometry—common symptoms are momentary blackout, faster heartbeat, and sweaty palms.
Guesstimate how many millions of otherwise educated folks worldwide suffer from some form of pi inferiority complex every year.

Trumpezium

An obese- or obscene-looking quadrilateral with zero parallel sides—also known as “trumpezoid” in the Commonwealth countries.

Mask Rules

When mask wearing in most parts of the world remains mandatory to protect the population from infection, as a large proportion of them have yet to be vaccinated, with some anti-maskers or maskholes in the name of personal rights playing hide-and-seek with the authorities to avoid donning a face mask.
Although only fully vaccinated people are exempted from wearing a mask in public, tens of thousands of unjabbed diehard Trumpists in several red states pay lip service to the mask rules, because they figure out that the odds of them getting caught are very low.

Mask Wearing Syndrome

When people continually wear a face mask daily long after the coronavirus pandemic has been contained—when mask withdrawal causes them psychological pain rather than physical gain.
Guesstimate how many people worldwide suffer from mask wearing syndrome, who need to seek treatment for their withdrawal symptoms.
