A microblog post by @kareem_carr saying "as soon as i saw they were using asterisks for multiplication symbols, i knew we were in trouble", with an image from the "Office of the United States Trade Representative (Executive Office of the President)" showing the mathematical formula $\Delta \tau_i = \frac{x_i - m_i}{\varepsilon * \varphi * m_i}$. The formula show asterisks (*) instead of multiplication signs (×).
Look, folks, let me tell you, when it comes to latex—nobody knows latex better than me, okay? Believe me. I’ve had people, the best people, telling me about latex. It’s fantastic material, really incredible stuff. Smooth, shiny, a little snug, just the way I like it—really makes an impression, believe me.
And you wouldn’t believe it, but I’ve had the best conversations with Putin. Huge conversations, the best. He’s a guy who knows power, knows what it means to be in control. And let me tell you, I’ve got the best fashion sense—top-tier. So one day, Putin says to me, ‘Donald, you've got to try it. You’ve got to put on the latex, it's going to be huge.’ And I said, ‘You know what, Putin? Let’s do it. Let’s go all in.’ And we did, folks. Just me and Musk—he’s a character, isn't he? A little odd, but brilliant. So we dressed up—latex, tight, shiny—just Putin's two Gimps. It was great. We looked incredible.
