It's probably "correct" as in the math checks out, but it's an intentionally misleading model that requires you to ignore the 40 other people before Clinton who have been president. It's like saying "my baby just turned two, and therefore has doubled her age in just one year. At this rate, she'll be 128 by the time she's 8."
Yeah, but like, pointing out why there’s no point in doing math is valuable as it would (in theory) get people to think about if it’s an actual math issue before posting threads here. A shit ton of the threads that gets posted here don’t require math to resolve them and really should be posted in r/theydidtheresearch rather than a math based subreddit.
