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.

Philaculus

Commemorative stamps that honor the contributions of Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, the co-fathers of Calculus, to mankind.
How many philaculus first day covers have so far been issued worldwide that credit the mathematical achievements of co-discovers Newton and Leibniz, who fought a years-old “mathematical war,” by accusing each other of plagiarism?

Piophobia

An irrational fear of the irrational number pi, or a repulsion at the sight or sound of the symbol π, which some fringe psychologists suspect to be hereditary, because the victim was presumably not born with the “mathematical gene.”
Sufferers of piophobia argue that they’d be exempted from school math, because they’re allergic to all things numerical or symbolic.

Trump Pills

Ecstasy tablets that shape like the head of President Trump: one side shows his face, the other has the word "TRUMP" embossed with it.
German police have arrested a father and his son for illegal possession of 5,000 Trump pills, worth about 40,000 euros, in their car.

$0.00

The positive effect triple zeros have on people’s mental state or mood, when they learn that they needn’t pay, or wouldn’t be charged, anything.
Don was relieved when he found out that he’d pay $0.00 commissions for transferring the monies to his clients. Who says that zeros don’t bring much relief and joy to people?

Who wants a Covaxin jab?

The dreaded vaccination question everyone in Africa and Asia is avoiding to answer even as India continues to donate millions of its home-grown, half-baked vaccine, which has received zero approval from WHO, to the developing world as part of its vaccine diplomacy—when the locals themselves have near-zero faith in their own vaccine.
In and outside India, the question to ask shouldn’t be “Who wants a Covaxin jab?” but rather “Who doesn’t want a Covaxin jab?”

Xi Thought

The capitalist-communist ideology Emperor Xi desires to indoctrinate on a billion-odd mainland Chinese citizens to “make China great again.”
Increasingly, more and more educated and middle-class citizens in China are reluctant to embrace “Xi Thought” in dictating their lives.
