RedditsuxTrump, 79, Gets Confused Explaining Water to the Navy
nocturneStreet party at least
EmpireInDecayThey’ll just keep propping him up, telling everyone he’s fine, and they will believe it
Weekend at Donnie’s?
That article is unfortunately gone and I couldn’t find the link on the archive sites I know
That second one was a nothing burger really, but I wonder if it’s the same (the second link is from April of this year)
Worked for Cuba, North Korea, etc for awhile.
pop [he/him]That’s the least of the problems. There are plenty of examples of these fucks who died and then are used forever and ever to push the same, or even worse, agendas “in their name”. Imagine Trumpism in 70 years.
“You know, the new thing is magnets. So instead of using hydraulic that can be hit by lightning and it’s fine. You take a little glass of water, you drop it on magnets, I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Trump said.
He thinks that magnets can be foiled by water.
FenderStratocasterThe race to the bottom of intelligence is neck and neck between Donald Trump himself and the slack jawed bozos that vote for him. There is no winner to the “Lights Are On, But They Are Motion Sensor” Award.
watsonHe STILL thinks this somehow after saying it like 18 months ago too. I don’t know how no one told him he sounds like a fucking moron after the first time he said it publicly.
SailorFuzzSomeone probably did tell him. But he forgot. Because he’s old, and probably has dementia.
FerrousHe thinks that magnets can be foiled by water.
Yes, which is 1 million percent true. Just ask any aquarium hobbyist or electromagnetic elevator engineer.
The article has a translation
The elderly president was talking about the magnetic catapults used to launch planes from the latest Navy super carriers, the USS Gerald R. Ford class, and the electromagnetic elevators used to move weaponry to the flight deck. Both systems double the speed with which planes can be armed and launched but slowed the delivery and commissioning
If you remember the news a few years back there were all sorts of delays and problems caused by switching from hydraulics to magnetic/electrical.
It was the first time so as long as all the issues have been worked out and the next one is smoother, we’re good
ripcordDuring his first term, he wanted to keep using steam, then somebody explained that magnets are better and steam kinda sucks
I can’t tell if this is true or not.
Considering that Trump has taken ignorance-based misinformation to a whole new level, it seems only fitting that “that sounds so absurd, it’s plausible he said that” has and/or will become part of his legacy.
“You know, the new thing is magnets. So instead of using hydraulic that can be hit by lightning and it’s fine. You take a little glass of water, you drop it on magnets, I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Trump said.
“So, you know, the elevators come up in the new carriers—I think I’m going to change it, by the way—they have magnets. Every tractor has hydraulic, every excavator, every excavating machine of any kind has hydraulic. But somebody decided to use magnets.”
The 79-year-old president then stumbled over his words and failed to complete a coherent sentence before moving on and asking the watching troops whether they preferred hydraulics or magnets.
Trump then called out to a “top-ranking general” in the crowd for his opinion before continuing his tirade against the 2,000-year-old technology.
b/w
The 79-year-old president then stumbled over his words and failed to complete a coherent sentence
Has he ever been able to complete a coherent sentence?
About 15 years ago, yes. There were a few videos of him talking borderline eloquently about political issues, but then again back then he was supporting the Democrats.
I'm more and more suspecting that like Fetterman, he had a stroke too that put him down this path.
Oh, he’s definitely bee having mini strokes, for years. That or the adderal induced lack of sleep is creating psychosis in him.
Or, and this is most likely, he’s just following his own father into the maw of dementia - and that is his personal terror, if the history about his family that I’ve read, is correct.
LillyPipHe’s said some incredibly stupid things, but this is next level.
The hamster powering his brain is clearly just a rotting pile of sludge now. How can anyone look at this masterclass in utter ignorance and see anything other than a senile old fool who should be in a nursing home for his own protection?
Nearly 80% of republicans think this is okay? What wouldn’t they think is okay from him? It seems they’d be fine with his actual corpse being wheeled round on a trolley by Vance & co. Astounding.
I think I’m going to change it, by the way
If only he really did try to do it personally. Physics can be one heck of a teaching experience.
Oh, no nononono! 😂
I meant, if someone who isn’t a mechanic or engineer tells me “I’ll change it”, I don’t imagine it’ll end well for them. Final Destination style.

PlumWhy… why would he think that?
I wonder if the DOD brass thought that “…Taking America back to when it was great…” meant we’d be using 1950’s technology as well.
Hmmm.
Let’s mix it up and do the Fallout timeline so 1950s with nuclear added.
Good thing that nothing ever goes wrong with hydraulics.
