Current Events > If you asked Donald Trump "What is 7 times 8?" do you think he'd know?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I honestly think he would try to pivot and avoid answering the question because he doesn't know.

Something like "look at this guy, he wants me to do math? Why does he want me to do math? Of course I do math, I do the best math, I make tons of money and money is numbers and numbers are math so if you think I don't know math you don't know how much money I've made, I've made millions not just millions, billions I'm talking more money than you could even count, people have tried to count my money but they can't because it's too much, you think I'm joking but really truly it's a lot, a tremendous amount of money"

I mean in theory he would have had to know stuff like this to graduate highschool which ostensibly he did. He just has such a case of dgaf that I guess I assume he's forgotten since then, or maybe he literally always had a calculator with him when he took tests.

Then again he's pretty old so would they even have pocket calculators when he went to school?

You can't graduate highschool without being able to do simple multiplication, right? And he did graduate highschool, right?

I wouldn't know that bullshit just asked randomly as I hate math andmy career does not require me to know that "off the top of my head".
---

Umm yea he knows what the fuck 7 times 8 is. 15 duh

If it's written down as 7 x 8 then yes I expect him to know.
---

He would bullshit around the issue and never give a clear answer.

Look, having seven my uncle was a great professor and scientist and mathematician, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Math, very good, very smart you know, if youre a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say Im one of the smartest people anywhere in the world its true! but when youre a conservative Republican they try oh, do they do a number thats why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because were a little disadvantaged but you look at the seven deal, the thing that really bothers me it would have been so easy, and its not as important as these lives are seven is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of whats going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? but when you look at whats going on with the four prisoners now it used to be three, now its four but when it was three and even now, I would have said its all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they dont, they havent figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, its gonna take them about another 150 years but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.

Not quite the same numbers, but I'd expect something like that.
---

I think he'd get it eventually, but it would take him a couple of hours.
---

He'd answer it in the middle of him explaining why he shouldn't and other people are there to answer it

---

I would secretly use a stop watch to see how long it takes him to work it out.

You people need better hobbies than pondering hypotheticals on what the guy does or doesn't know. Can't be that healthy for you in the end. Reminds me of those people who blow up his Twitter feed every time he posts something.

Yeesh, move on, people.

none of his supporters would know either

"I have to say a lot of people have been asking this question. No, really. A lot of people come up to me and they ask me. They say, "What's 7+8"? And I tell them look, we know what 7+8 is. We've had almost eight years of the worst kind of math you can imagine. Oh my god, I can't believe it. Addition and subtraction of the 1s the 2s and the 3s. Its terrible. Its just terrible. Look, if you want to know what 7+8 is, do you want to know what 7+8 is? I'll tell you. First of all the number 7, by the way I love the number 7. It's probably my favorite number, no it is my favorite number. You know what, it's probably more like the number two but with a lot of zeros behind it. A lot. If I'm being honest, I mean, if I'm being honest. I like a lot of zeros. Except for Marco Rubio, now he's a zero that I don't like. Though, I probably shouldn't say that. He's a nice guy but he's like, "10101000101", on and on, like that. He's like a computer! You know what I mean? He's like a computer. I don't know. I mean, you know. So, we have all these numbers and we can add them and subtract them and add them. TIMES them even. Did you know that? We can times them OR divide them, they don't tell you that, and I'll tell you, no one is better at the order of operations than me. You wouldn't believe it. That I can tell you. So, we're gonna be the best on 7+7, believe me. OK? Alright. Thank you."

Wouldnt have to. He could just ask twitter and get an answer.

Trump is stupid and it is as funny as it is sad. Deal with it.

I'm sure you were constantly telling people to ignore Obama for 8 years, right?

89?

Hmm...

Actually, what's really funny and scary here is realizing that someone on the Internet (who's probably thirty) sounds like some late night show host stuck in a loop posting the same inane and unoriginal ramblings of the president years into his presidency.

Like if that actually accomplishes anything.

Hmm... nope. THAT would be idiotic to do, imo.
