Clinton v Trump – Saban, Hawking and the gematria

TJI Pick
Print this
Clinton-Trump

Published: 5 June 2016

Last updated: 4 March 2024

Haim Saban’s confidence in Hillary Clinton - Danielle Berrin – Jewish Journal 01.06.16
I called Saban at his office last week to ask why he believes Clinton will win. ‘Well,’ he began, ‘it comes from my faith in the American people. I believe that, at the end of the day, the American people are going to do the right thing for America and for the world.’ 

Stephen Hawking angers Trump supporters with baffling array of long words – Andy Borowitz – The New Yorker 31.05.16

The Gematria of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump – Philologos – Mosaic 25.05.16
‘Gematria, the custom of calculating and comparing the arithmetical values of Hebrew words in order to arrive at truths supposedly concealed in them, lends itself to nonsense as readily as do all other forms of numerology.’ But, as shown here, it ‘can be a mildly entertaining form of numerical doodling.’
