8. Or at least float away, if your mass remained the same.

If your weight loss was the result of losing fat, you'd die long before you weighted -395 lbs. and hypothetically disappeared. But if the only thing that happened in accordance with this bogus Trump number is that you weighed minus 395 lbs. while your mass remained the same, you might still be fat but you'd experience a repulsive gravitational force and would have to be tethered to something to keep from floating away.

There should be a whole new field of mathematics called Trump numbers, which would be like imaginary numbers only dumber, like drug price reductions of 1,500% which would cause your pharmacist to pay you every time you filled a presciption.
