When the feline behavior of the irrational and transcendental number π, which is stubborn in revealing some of its beautiful numerical or geometric properties, clashes with its oft-canine responses, which occasionally rewards those who have loyally spent their lifetime with the beloved constant with an aha! erection.
The number π is a love-hate mathematical constant among the educated lay public, who are delighted or disgusted by its manifold numerical and geometric properties. To number addicts, is pi more dog than cat? Or is it more cat than dog? To number phobics, pi is unquestionably worse than a pandemic.

Pokémon GO à la Trump, where players hunt for digital apparitions of ex-President Donald Trump and some of the notorious morally bankrupt GOP lawmakers, being caught indulging in some unethical or immoral activities at some locations frequently patronized by them, before these Trumpémons are being dealt with by different destructive tools.
Trumpémon GO is pretty additive among tens of thousands of Democrat voters and mainland Chinese students studying in US colleges, with some of them being made penniless after splurging so much on digital currencies to track their favorite Trumpémons.

Equations that are derived from Donald J. Trump’s irrational or unethical logic, which generally defy conventional algebra rules. For example, based on the twice-impeached president’s collusion and insurrection, we could formulate the following counterintuitive relationships:
Republicans: “Two impeachment wrongs don’t make a right”—when (–) × (–) = (–).
Democrats: “Two impeachment rights do make a wrong”—when (+) × (+) = (–).
Republicans: “Two impeachment wrongs don’t make a right”—when (–) × (–) = (–).
Democrats: “Two impeachment rights do make a wrong”—when (+) × (+) = (–).
Trump algebra falls under what we call “negative math,” when it’s not axiomatically incorrect for the product of two positives to be a negative, or for the product of two negatives to be still a negative.

Short for “Make America Godly Again.” A mantra preached by a group of evangelical pastors, who had brainwashed diehard supporters of Trump, the “anointed one,” by proclaiming that there exists a parallel between Trump and Jesus, who have both come to deliver and save them—they need to stand up for Trump, who had selfishly used religious leaders as pawns and disinformation to incite an insurrection.
Evangelical leaders who risk losing (or have sold) their souls for grasping political power are preaching Trumpism or white supremacy under the flag of Christian nationalism—aren’t their preaching the political slogan MAGA, instead of the Magi, a stumbling block to millions of pre-believers of Christianity?

Make the number π look sexier by expressing it equivalently or approximately in an expression of numbers or/and constants—for example, π = 1 – 1/3 + 1/5 – 1/7 + 1/9 – 1/11 + ⋯, π ≈ √2 + √3, π⁴ + π⁵ ≈ e⁶, and π rad = 180°.

When an oft-autistic person can see the first few hundred or thousand digits of the number π in their mind’s eye.
Don has such a pinographic memory that he can effortlessly recite the first ten thousand digits instantly, as he sees them flowing down a mountain top.

A question no parents would ask their child at Christmas, unless they are Donald Trump or a radical Islamist who views Christianity as a form of idolatry.
