Twitter users are roasting Donald Trump Jr. after he flaunted his apparent misunderstanding of basic math in a Tuesday tweet.
The eldest Trump child had attempted to make a snarky remark about an October 2015 Chicago Tribune headline, "Five Years Into Common Core, Many ACT Scores Below Average"but ended up flunking a middle school math test instead.
"I would imagine that 50 percent are below average...that's how math works," Trump Jr. wrote. "The real question is what is the average now vs. before Common Core."
The problem is, that's not how math works.

Nothing, at all.

The guy didnt know what a "strong dollar" was.
He knows how to lie and not pay his bills. If you give me 10 million and I buy a building with it and renovate it, dont pay the contractors, use organized crime to throw out the old people who refuse to leave, then turn it into condos, I will make a bunch of money too.

(102,562 posts)(much less MODE)... I've noticed that--even his quasi economic experts appear not to grasp the concepts.
It would probably be rude of me to suggest that I would pay-per-view to watch Sarah Sanders Huckabee try to answer even a basic elementary school test on math, geography, history (oh, gawd), or even basic English. We certainly know that she has received NO civics education.
Sorry, Sarah... that permanent scowl won't win the day. Your ignorance shows.
