“The opposite of Donald Trump is an Asian man who likes math,” Yang told the gathered crowds, Business Insider reports.

The 44-year-old candidate took the stage shouting, “Yang Gang! Yes, yes, holy crap,” according to the Washington Examiner.  Despite his lack of political background, Yang touts his technologically savvy campaign and his mathematical skills as a sign that America needs a new approach to politics, Business Insider reports. The publication compared Yang’s unique approach to that of Trump’s campaign, and Yang himself said, “Make America Think Harder,” according to the Washington Examiner.

Yang wants to implement a system of universal basic income, “The Freedom Dividend,” that gives every American $1,000 a month, the Washington Examiner reports.
