The problem is, that's not how math works.
As some Twitter users pointed out, Trump Jr. seemed to be mixing up "mean" and "median."

"My guess is that Trump Jr. didn't mean anything sophisticated by his tweethe just thought he was being clever," Wolfers said. "But in fact, what he tweeted wasn't entirely accurate."

It's not the first time a Trump family member has shown a poor understanding of basic middle-school skills. Ivanka Trump has been known to struggle with vocabulary words like "albeit," "otherwise" and "relative."

The president himself might be able to use a middle school-level geography and United States history lesson, as earlier this month it seemed to slipped his mind he was also president of the U.S. Virgin Islands. And the president also had trouble locating Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.

We make mistakes, get corrected and get smarter.
No one has ever corrected this bunch of spoiled babies. They surround themselves with sycophants who tell them how great they are.
And in case Ivanka is reading...a sycophant is a suck-up who just tells you what you want to hear.
