I put an arrow on the image to highlight, but the side of POTUS Trumps' hat clearly reads "45-47" = which I read as "45 THROUGH 47" Not "45 AND 47"; but 45, AND 46, AND 47........
Unless I'm insane or that uneducated; if you wanted to tell someone, "I want numbers 45 and 47" you would put "45 (&) (+) 47; not "45 - 47"; the "-" dash indicates the whole series; 45, AND 46, AND 47... not ONLY 45 AND 47......
Is this a tiny little COMM to let us know who's ACTUALLY still POTUS / CinC???? I read this as Trump potentially telegraphing that he IS POTUS #46.....

What do you frens think?
Hopium, or too far out there / too big a stretch?
Though one can say the hyphen invites interpretation as a range, this inference is not implicit, as it can also be understood to represent an en dash illustrating a relationship between two (among many) things, as in the example "Radical–Unionist coalition".
It's also ultimately rather irrelevant who is the 46th president, because the indication is that Trump's script is that he plans to be the 47th and that means he is not planning surprises for Biden, and articles now are confirming such a surprise would be logistically near-impossible.
a) Did you downvote me for disagreeing with you?
b) that's really hilarious if so, beause your own link seems to prove you wrong.
Read the rest of that section; "Ranges of Values" Doesn't mention the dash / hyphen being used - with numbers - to signify "and"
With words; sure; it shows a relationship.
However, 45, 46, 47 aren't words; they are numbers.
ETA: I did some more searching, skimmed some random pages & they all seem to backup what I'm saying, which is that a dash between numbers indicates a RANGE of numbers. In this case specifically, it would mean "45 AND 46 AND 47".......
Yes, I do downvote people when I disagree and have sufficiently demonstrated their reasoning is fallacious. Since you seem to take it uberseriously, I have no need to demonstrate your further illogic. Best wishes on your 46th president.
Does your mom know you're using the internet? 😂🙄
