11,780

One of Trump’s latest notorious numbers, with reference to the number of fake votes the Commander in Cheat wanted Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" to overturn the election results won by his presidential opponent in the state.

In a math test, a high school teacher in Georgia challenged his students with the following questions:
1. Factorize the number 11,780.
2. Show that 11,780 divides 39¹⁰ – 1.

Patriots

The politically correct term for white supremacists-turned-terrorists, or brainwashed conspiracists-turned-extremists, who rationalize that merely holding peaceful protests would not prevent an “illegitimate” president-elect who “stole the vote” from taking office, much less stop socialism and communism to take root in the country, but mob violence could grant them their political wish.

After the armed insurrection perpetrated by his diehard supporters who broke into the Capitol and changed the American flag with the Trump flag, Donald J. Trump called those rioters and thugs "great patriots."

Josh Hawley

Also known as the “Kyle Rittenhouse of the US Senate.” A label for a pro-Trump senator who wants to be perceived as a “political savior” in upholding electoral integrity as they idiotically attempt to overturn a free and fair election—a stunt aimed at gaining political mileage among voters when they run for President in 2024.

An opportunist senator from Missouri was dubbed a “Josh Hawley” after he was blamed for objecting to the results of a legitimate, democratic election, and for the blood that was shed at the Capitol.

Corona Convert

A hardcore Trumpist or QAnonist who had previously put their faith in the Pharisee-in-Chief for preaching that the pandemic is a hoax, and had refused to wear a face mask, but had since confessed the virus’s existence after contracting it, or being hospitalized.

Guesstimate how many corona converts failed to cheat death after realizing that they’d been conned by their Commander in Cheat.

Trump Algebra

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 (+) × (+) = (–).

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.

Singapore MathⓋ

A discount of not less than 19 percent for any buyer of math titles in Singapore, who has been jabbed by WHO-approved vaccines, as long as they show proof of their inoculation at the time of purchase.

To encourage vaccination among the population, especially among those who wished not to be inoculated because of potential side effects or premature death, local publishers in Singapore are resorting to creative marketing to promote a number of their dated Singapore MathⓋ titles.
