I can see why they feel the need to try to convince readers that it is really an official website.

Were these all new numbers, new to mathematicians, or is it just that Mr Trump had not come across them before?

Make a state? Perhaps. Or: "bring under the control of the central government as distinguished from the separate units constituting a federation."
Hm. Trumpsville, USA.

Can I clarify: the plan is not to take a nuclear reactor to the moon, but to build one there.

From a kit…?

or from scratch? (Using flints perhaps?)

And what is it going to be used for? Lunar submarines? Powering all those cities?

Next: a 1:1 scale matchstick model of the Eiffel tower on Mercury?

You are right. I think Trump gets the focus because he repeatedly lies about things in obvious contexts, he talks incorehently and shows such ignorance of science, maths, geography, history; he is rude and abusive in ways that would get most politicians dropped

So perhaps he is a MAGA masterstroke?

I was not asking for a retraction, but a published comment pointing out the flaws. But I really could not understand how it ever got through peer review as the issues were SO obvious. (I'm not a stats person, and it leapt out at me.)

It is a misprint

They meant 'Sioux Chief needed'

That's what comes of naming your children as if data sets.
