Magnets… how do they work?
“Gets Confused Explaining Water to the Navy”
Did they get the wrong clip? I didnt hear him try to “explain water”
Trump, 79, Gets Confused
Explaining Water to the NavyYou can save letters if you just stop there. It will work for the next 400 articles until the orange mayonnaise golem is called back by the witch that created him out of blob of smegma and tanning spray.
Hey now, let’s leave disparaging witches to the puritanical hypocrites, eh? 🤌🏼
Satan loves us all equally. 🤘🏼❤️🔥
Except MAGAts. I hear he’d really rather not have them around at all.
Good thing that nothing ever goes wrong with hydraulics.
Especially if hit by lightning. Totally fine.
Hydraulic good because hit by lightning fine
The idiot here isn’t Trump
It’s America
Seems like I’m gonna whip out the champagne soon
They’ll just keep propping him up, telling everyone he’s fine, and they will believe it
Weekend at Donnie’s?
Lol I just found this recent article
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)
Like they do with mumbling Mitch Mcconnell?
Worked for Cuba, North Korea, etc for awhile.

Street party at least
“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.
The 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.
The morons voting him as the leader are by FAAAR the bigger morons. Like magnitudes bigger. He’s gifting those morons straight to the bank.
He 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.
Someone probably did tell him. But he forgot. Because he’s old, and probably has dementia.
Because he surrounds himself with sycophants. Anyone who would have pushed back is gone.
Going for the juggalo vote?
With the economy as it is, we may all need to switch to Faygo.
It’s what plants crave.
It mutilates thirst!
I might be broke but at least I ain’t got no money
He’s right though, he doesn’t know what’s going to happen…
He 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’s probably a vague memory of more complexity than he can handle. A sane president would have had someone with expertise go over his speech
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
Where does the water come in
During 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.
I honestly don’t remember what specific problems they had during development but it’s easy to believe dealing with harsh environment at sea for long periods was one of them. You can probably look them up easily enough. It’s got moving parts and high power electronics on an open deck and the boat can be at sea for months …
I think what’s he’s getting confused about is that they’re using electromagnets, which the circuitry of could certainly be damaged by water.
I suspect someone at some point communicated some kind of potential problem the navy could be having, and he just went “magnets + water = bad, got it”. Which is what I think the real point should be here. It’s not so much that the president is confused about how magnets work, its more that someone at some point mentioned some kind of existing or potential situation and he is just spewing it back out without really understanding it.
Like basically the president of the fucking United States is not capable of understanding someone telling him that electromagnets can be damaged by water and/or is unable to communicate that basic concept.
Never mind every other fucking electronic thing on a modern aircraft carrier.
Nobody tell him that fighter jets sink in the water, he’ll have all the carriers decommissioned because “Planes don’t go on water. Why are we sending airplanes into the ocean, they’ll just sink!”
Well, to be fair, we do seem to be doing that a lot
Yeah, see, you don’t need to worry about planes sinking in the water if you don’t take them out in the water. Melt all the carriers down and make shitty branded watches out of them to sell to dopes for way too much money.
One of those was a helicopter, which in fairness, also does not go on water.
Hey - ask him about windmills
Or the big faucet in the mountains.
or batteries and sharks and boats.
This sounds like a freaking Seinfeld bit “So WHAT’S the deal with MAGNETS?”
- Urge to share weird hot takes in public long after their hit NBC shows left the airwaves
- Eaned far more than they’re worth
- Too much interest in high schoolers
- Unwavering support for genocide
Isn’t that special.
Bless his heart
I should’ve searched for Dana Carvey meme lol. Thanks!
Only vaguely related… switching to magnets makes me think of top gun.
Officer: [in the midst of the MIG battle] Both Catapults are broken, sir. Stinger: How long will it take? Officer: It’ll take ten minutes. Stinger: Bullshit ten minutes! This thing will be over in two minutes! Get on it!Sarah Palin looks like a genius compared to this jackass.
He likes watching videos, right? Can someone send him this?
Someone please edit the Wikipedia page for magnets to add the fact that water cancels them out.
Lmao who is downvoting a Wikipedia quote?
I didn’t, but it also doesn’t mention water
Why… why would he think that?
He once owned an iron magnet which got wet and then rusted? That is probably still too logical for him but it’s the only kind of plausible chain of thought I can come up with.
Electromagnets maybe?
I can only assume that the spirochetes in his brain are dying off, and all that’s left up there is cat food.
