This is cargo cult statistics. He's seen the words used before and has a surface-level idea of the context, but no understanding of how they function or the concepts behind them.

For Trump to have "34 times" the felonies, Obama would need one. But if that were the case it would still be 0.756 per-capita for white presidents and 1.0 per-capita for black because there have been 45 white presidents. Now if you said, "since 2008" it would still be wrong, but then we could at least say funny things like "on average, white presidents since 2008 have had 17 felony convictions per-capita," implying that half are Biden's.

And regardless, those felony convictions are bullshit.

It's actually a pretty decent example of how there's no intelligence behind AI even though it can sound smart at times. He knows that sentences containing statistics often end with the words "per capita", but that is where his understanding ends. He's performing pattern matching. AI like ChatGPT operate the same way. It doesn't matter if what they say makes sense, all that matters is that they sound like other things that do

It's funnier than that. I specifically took Cleveland into account. But then accidentally went and counted Obama. 44.5 maybe?

So glad he is out spreading the gospel. If he really wanted to help then why not address crime in his community where it is a serious problem. Who am I kidding, how else will he get the world’s approval?

Arguing with people who never invented the zero about zero seems wrong.

Bill Clinton identified as the first black President. But still not convicted.

Also this is more like dividing by zero. Or dividing by numbers approaching zero. Which they're really not going to get. The closest thing I can tell people is it's like how if you've never batted, you don't have a 0 batting average. You have an undefined batting average.

I just wasted a whole bunch of time looking for that one person to point out that zero multiplied by ANYTHING is still zero.

I found one person in the entire Twitter thread.

Unless I'm wrong and Barack Obama has 1 felony conviction

What's it for? As far as I know it's zero.

Pretty sure Obama has 0 convictions, but that makes yet another part of the tweet a mistake.

If Obama has 1 felony conviction and Trump has 34, then Trump has 34 times more convictions of Obama. If Obama has 0 convictions, then "X times more convictions" is meaningless. You might as well say "Trump as eleventy billion times more convictions than Obama" since anything times 0 is 0.

Just another failure to math from him.

I think Axios found their new headline with that "eleventy billion".

He's a black race communist and he's dimly aware that his enemies say "per capita" at him, but he's not capable of understanding why and there's no reason to really dwell on it.

Joggers can't do math. See: Inner city standardized test scores.

Guess what crimes the first president committed against his government at the time?

But he was never CONVICTED. And Bush may have killed hundreds of thousands, but he was never indicted for that like Orange was for hiding payments to a porn star.

Checkmate, Drumpf supporter.
