Trumpezium

An obese- or obscene-looking quadrilateral with zero parallel sidesโ€”also known as โ€œtrumpezoidโ€ in the Commonwealth countries.

Trumpian Geometry

A postmodern form of geometry that promotes flawed thinking, where the correctness of a proof is relativeโ€”for example, in a geometric figure, if an angle looks right, then it is unquestionably taken to be ninety degrees; or if a line segment appears straight, then there is no reason to doubt otherwise.
Trumpian Geometry seems to exhibit the pattern of assumption-intimidation-conclusion, where answers to geometric problems are countries-dependentโ€”for example, the answers to most questions when solved in Russia, Saudi Arabia, and North Korea are the same, but are situationally different elsewhere.

Back-of-the-Mask Thinking

When the crisp-and-crude method of calculation, which yields an approximate instead of an exact answer to a problem, is done on a mask rather than on an envelope or a napkin.
With billions of people wearing a face mask to shield themselves against the coronavirus, the back-of-the-mask thinking is a lifelong guesstimation skill math teachers and tutors worldwide ought to promote to students during this pandemic crisis.

Covid-โœˆ๏ธ

When airline companies that have been earning obscenely for decades now want tax payersโ€™ monies to unashamedly rescue them from bankruptcy.
Like insurance companies that were shamelessly bailed by the Obama administration during the last global financial crisis, airline companies now want the Trump administration to do likewise due to Covid-โœˆ๏ธ.

Covid-๐Ÿฆ‡

When bats are believed to be the vector of the coronavirus to humans, which was first detected in a Wuhan lab in China, until a cover-up was no longer possible as whistleblowers risked their lives to report the rising number of infected and dead people to the outside world.
Fake leaders around the world never fail to scapegoat Covid-๐Ÿฆ‡ to rationalize the high number of infections and deaths in their own countries rather than because of their ineptitude or poor leadership in containing the pandemic crisis.

Covid-๐Ÿ‘ฝ

When conspiracists or Trumpists-turned-QAnonists attributed the origin of the coronavirus not to a lab in Wuhan but to the extraterrestrials that apparently wanted to harm the earthlings, or to prove to them that they are inferior to other galactic beings.
President Trump, who blamed China for infecting the US with Covid-19, refused to expose the conspiracy promoted by some of his supporters for linking Covid-๐Ÿ‘ฝ to the high number of infection cases and deaths plaguing the country.
