Absolute gold.
That's why he's keeping all those sycophants around, so he can count on their fingers as well as his own.
They used an AI to come up with the tariff rates. There's no actual proof that trump can count past single digits.
Hey Siri if me and the president were iron man and Dr evil what would the best tariff rates be to impose?
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...
2047 if you use your dick
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!
Wait can you go from flaccid to erect at a moment's notice?
Pee off, pee on.
Only half that of these use your dick.
if you use a mid-state, like a halfway finger, you can count to 59048
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.
Genius....
What, you don't know the powers of 2?

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