Borowitz - Donald Trump: Math Dunce [View all]

Donald Trump's firing of Erika McEntarfer, the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, has been widely seen as a tantrum caused by disastrous job numbers. That’s true, up to a point, but I think his motivation went a good deal deeper.

You see, Trump hates the very concept of numbers. Why? Because he sucks at math. Brutally.

In fact, math might be his worst school subject, and that includes geography (he thinks there is an African country called Nambia) and history (he thinks the British had airports during the Revolutionary War).

Since Trump has spent over half a century in the business world, you might expect him to be good with numbers; but since he had to file for bankruptcy six times, maybe not.
