.@realDonaldTrump you need a big win. A historically monumental, Congressionally heralded, bipartisanly supported, nationally uniting, globally respected, job creating, forward thinking win. Here’s an idea: Make America Go Metric Already. #MAGMA 1/

Every country around the world except the US, Liberia, and Myanmar, officially use the metric system. Even Russia! #метрический 2/

Think about it. Jefferson opposed it ‘cause he didn’t like French stuff. (#snowflake) Ford tried & failed. Carter merely talked about it. Only Donald J. Trump could actually change the very measure of the country. #MAGA by #MAGMA 3/

As for job creation, a national conversion effort - road & highway signage, municipal/state/federal postings, educational materials, food labelling, etc. – would take years of investment, training, & jobs. #MAGMA 4/

A long time ago, in our galaxy far, far away, Imperial forces destroyed a spaceprobe. RIP MCO #SorryNotStarWars 5/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Clim…

Imagine, Mr. President… You alone could (ahem) raise a certain ‘national average’ from a respectable 5.1 to a jaw-dropping 12.954. Which looks better on a Trump.Dating profile? 6/ visualbest.co/average-penis-…

Seriously, how does this make sense anymore?
Imperial: 12in/ft; 3ft/yd; 1760yd/mi; 5280ft/mi; 4840sq.yd/ac; 640ac/sq.mi; 16oz/lb; 2000lbs/tn; 8oz/cup; 2cups/pt; 2pts/qt; 4qts/gal. 32°-212°F...
Metric: 10.

Unroll, please.
