Oh, FFS Don Jr, even Jethro Bodine was good at "cipherin'..." (fails to grasp basic math skills)

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.

1. I want to say this again, neither Don Sr or Don Jr

know anything about anything, at all.

Nothing, at all.

Not real estate, nope, not restaurants, nope nope, not golf courses, nope nope nope and least of all, business.

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.

2. I thought Uday and Qusay were supposed to run the business and stay out of politics.

4. It took me years to realize that...

... Gazintas we're not a real math function.

7. You mean thats not an Excel formula?

Maybe that was my problem....

5. The nut doesn't fall too far from the nut...

6. the writer notes how few of Trump admin seem to know the difference between mean & median--

(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.
