I seriously hope this is a troll post, but after reading the whole thing and seeing the location of the one signature, I'm not sure anymore.

Yeah can be summed as: "lets think of another way for the world to laugh at the US"

Looks like a response to this one: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/make-metric-system...

2 vs 7600 signatures in one day...

That is seriously hilarious. I wish there were some way that it could get the needed number of votes so that the white house has to respond. They could simple post a photo of the president sticking his tongue out.

Does he also not know that the scientific community uses the metric system?

A modest proposal indeed.

  1km = 1e3m = 1e5cm = 1e6mm
  1tonne = 1e3kg = 1e6g = 1e9mg
  10cm^3 = 1L
  1s = 1e3ms
  1kg * 1m^2 / 1s^2 = 1J = 1N * 1m = 1Pa * 1m^3 = 1W * 1s

[km]:kilometer, [m]:meter, [cm]:centimeter, [mm]: millimeter, [J]:Joule, [N]:Newton, [Pa]:Pascal, [W]:Watt, [L]: Litre, [kg]:kilogram, [g]:gram, [mg]:milligram, [ms]milliseconds

Now do that with the imperial system.
