Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump electrified 30,000 supporters at an Alabama rally on Friday when he declared that the number 10, a stalwart of modern mathematics long thought to be a 10, was “sadly, no longer a 10.”

“(the number 10) had an impressive run as a 10 considering it immigrated to this country from ancient Egypt without my consent,” Trump conceded, “but it has to go.”

In a bold response to critics who say he’s more bluster than substance, the current leader of the Republican Party unveiled a plan to remove the 10 from our numerical system and replace it with “The Trump,” a symbol that will be equal to the 10 in value.  He then spent the next several hours leading the crowd of giddy Alabamans through a series of exercises to bring them up to speed on his new counting system.

“On a scale of 1 to Trump, I am a…?” Trump asked.

“Trump!” the crowd roared.

“7 plus 3 equals…?” Trump asked.

“…Tr…umm…p…?” answered some of the crowd with Trump’s help.

The bombastic real estate tycoon and former reality TV star has risen to the top of the GOP primary field by appealing to a passionate swath of white, anti-immigration voters who never made it out of the Trumpth grade.
