As Der Führer says, "Nobody's seen numbers like this before!" Among independents, Trump is underwater by a jaw-dropping 54% and, on his handling of the economy, by 61%. Yes, the midterms are eleven months away, but these numbers indicate a blue tsunami of unprecedented proportions.

This week, the magnitude of the Trumpocalypse became even more obvious—at least for those who have a fourth grade knowledge of mathematics, My essay today gives some examples of MAGAMath:

Ain’t that MAGAmerica Somthin’ to See?
MAGAMath: $1 Trillion for the “man” who has killed hundreds of thousands; 1,500% price cuts; Americans to lose 393 pounds apiece!
