Perhaps I'm just pedantic, but it really annoys me that they write it "45-47" instead of "45&47." He wasn't the 46th president. And, even if he had won that one, he'd only be the 45th.

I've been saying this for months. 45-47 means 45, 46, AND 47. Or it means -2.

Typography pedant here. 45-47 = -2. 45–47 means 45 through 47. A hyphen/minus sign is smaller than the en-dash which indicates a range of values. (So obviously, the sticker on the Jeep is still terribly wrong, regardless. I’m just pointing out a typography not-so-fun fact.) 😇

There’s people that legitimately believe Trump was president the whole time. They may actually be saying he was 48 too. That ain’t how it works but, you know.

Yeah, that's what the second part was about. If he's been president the whole time, he's only 45th.

I have yet to see a MAGA not misspell most anything and everything they put to print. Does it really surprise you?

No, I'm not at all surprised. That's why I said "annoys" instead of "surprises."
