The slogan that portrays President Trump as a con man in the White House, whose billionaire image is a sham: an inept businessman and a serial tax avoider, who paid only $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 each—a figure that is far less than what millions of blue-collar Americans are paying—but would deduct $70,000 to take care of his hair.
Teachers, nurses, and cooks, most of whom paid much more than $750 in tax, are protesting by wearing a T-shirt that says “I paid more income taxes than Donald Trump.” to expose his fake riches and financial shenanigans.

Get the I paid more income taxes than Donald Trump. mug.When President Trump repealed the “leftish” Common Core Math, approved by President Obama, with zero idea how to replace it with a better “rightish” math curriculum to help millions of US students compete internationally in math—he just wants to pacify opponents of the “left curriculum,” whose children can’t cope with it, in exchange for their votes.
Does the stand-back-stand-by math sound like some curricular or mathematical equivalent of the repeal-and-replace Obamacare? If politics over math could increase the odds of getting the president re-elected, the risks are worth taking.

Get the Stand-back-stand-by Math mug.Read as “Trump’s R naught or reproduction rate.” The average number of people superspreader Donald J. Trump would have infected due to his selfish, callous, and vainglorious attitude vis-à-vis the coronavirus, which could number in the dozens, as most of them had paid lip service to mask-wearing and social distancing when they were with him.
Guesstimate Trump’s R₀ and the R₀ of all those he infected. Could the total figure be in the hundreds thanks to a fake leader’s inept handling of the Covid-19 pandemic?

Covid-19 couldn’t care less whether you are a president, prisoner, or priest; Covid-🤥 needed to give the president a wake-up call to prevent the country from witnessing a health apocalypse.

Get the Covid-🤥 mug.Donald J. Trump’s frighteningly callous or cold-hearted message to Americans not to let the coronavirus control their lives, as if they could just utter a simple prayer for it to go away, for he is the living proof that he has triumphed over the virus thanks to 24/7 world-class medical care and “compassionate drugs,” which very few of them would get access to.
President Trump’s “Don’t be afraid of Covid.” tweet is not only offensive or repugnant to the families and friends of the 210,000-odd people who had died, and of the 7.5 millions who were infected, of Covid-19, but also irresponsible or ill-advised to those who are struggling to protect themselves and those around them.

Get the Don’t be afraid of Covid. mug.When our primitive instinct makes us treat the comparison of large numbers as logarithmic rather than linear—for instance, we feel like the gap between a trillion and a billion is the same as that between a billion and a million, because both are a thousand times bigger, when the jump to a trillion is really much bigger.
When young children are asked which number is halfway between one and nine, their answers are three instead of five, as given by those with formal schooling. Is this a case of logarithmic instinct, where the middle is in relation to multiplication rather than addition: 1 × 3 = 3, 3 × 3 = 9?
