A Chinese official later revealed that new intelligence had told them that Trump was actually quite experienced at counting to over 100 due to the fact he is really bad at golf.

🤣

Absolute gold.

That's why he's keeping all those sycophants around, so he can count on their fingers as well as his own.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 27 points 1 week ago

I kid you not, the Chinese count up to 99 on their fingers.

I can count from 0 to 255 on my fingers. I can even count up to 1023, if I include my thumbs.

Binary...

the bit change operation from 0 to 1 can require a bit of effort, but the sudden switch from 1 to 0 makes it worthwhile

This guy counts in tallywhackers!

Only half that of these use your dick.

Wait can you go from flaccid to erect at a moment's notice?

[-] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Pee off, pee on.

[-] dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 week ago

if you use a mid-state, like a halfway finger, you can count to 59048

[-] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Either your fingers are way more dextrous than mine, or your hands will look like you stepped on a live power line and it will be hard to keep the count.

What, you don't know the powers of 2?

LOL, this is The Onion anyways, nothing to be taken too seriously here.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

I do? This was just an excellent point. Never thought of counting in binary with my fingers before

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago

Japanese as well.

They used an AI to come up with the tariff rates. There's no actual proof that trump can count past single digits.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 5 days ago

Hey Siri if me and the president were iron man and Dr evil what would the best tariff rates be to impose?

[-] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 8 points 1 week ago

Actually, he can’t count at all. He’s just discovered that lining up numbers gets a reaction, so he keeps doing it.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

So did a lot of us. Don't feel too bad.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

I really don't feel like his voters are part of "us".

二百五 is the highest that trump ever counted.

trump is a 二百五 🤭
