I would love to have been a fly on the wall at one of Trump's early meetings with the experts, as they tried to get him to understand how exponential growth works.
Exp: So, it doubles every few days.
T: You mean, like from 2, to 4, to 6? We can handle that, that's nothing.
Exp: No, like 2 to 4 to 8 to 16...
T: I get it, so it stops at 16. No big deal.
Exp: No, it doesn't stop at 16, it keeps going.
T: Ok, so it goes up to 18 after that. Still dont see what the problem is. Oh wait, I gotta go shake some hands in a crowded, poorly ventilated room at CPAC. Is it ok if I do that?
Exp: Yes, please go. Shake all the hands you can. And remember to do a lot of deep breathing when you're close to anyone who is actimg sick.
T: Thanks guys, glad we sorted this out. High fives all around. You gonna finish that bowl of ice cream? Pass it over here.
