All the falsehoods, white lies, or fake news about the number π that conspiracy-minded Trumpublicans and QAnonists share on social media to their tribes, most of whom are ladle-fed with daily Fox News misinformation—for example, the googolth digit of π is the biblical value of 3; ET sent an apocalyptic message to earthlings on Pi Day via a Mar-a-Lago resort’s terminal.
