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".
