They give you the chance to open a door 1/3. Then ask if you would like to change after opening another door to show a goat. Your first thought is that, well it’s a 50-50 chance the last door is the prize because there are only 2 left. so what would it matter, but really it is 2/3.

Making it so now 2/3 of the options are out if you choose a new door, or it stays at 1/3 if you stay the same. So you say “thank you for the extra 33% chance at winning” and always change to the second door
























Well that’s the thing, he hasn’t done anything illegal in saying they will pay $10b, legally I think he is fine to completely lie and destroy the credibility of the U.S. presidency/country.
