“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.
“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
Seems like I’m gonna whip out the champagne soon
Every mainstream media outlet talking about Biden at 79: "He's so incredibly OLD!!!!!!"
Talking about Trump: (anything but his age)
Since 2014 or whenever he started campaigning I've been wondering why any sane person would offer that dimwit a microphone.
Apparently there are far fewer sane people than I had hoped.
Or the insane ones somehow ended up in influential positions more often.
He let slip he had an MRI recently, which explains why magnets are on the brain. Very interesting
Magnets. How do they even work? Nobody knows.
This is starting to get dangerously close to some SCP-1981 shit.
(I know, I know, real life already vastly surpassed all potential of art in the realm of presidential incomprehensibility in Trump's first term.)
Isn't that special.
Trump, 79, Gets Confused Explaining Water to the Navy
You 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.
/me looks around.

Huh. Satire writers really are having a tough time right now.
Someone please edit the Wikipedia page for magnets to add the fact that water cancels them out.
Believe it or not, this has something to do with China trade policy. He’s rambled before about China controlling rare earth magnets. I believe magnets were specifically called out in the first China trade ”deal.”
Someone has clearly told this doddering old fool that China produces most of the world’s rare earth magnets, and being stupid, he drew the conclusion that magnets = China = bad.
Stop this ride, I want to get off.
Sarah Palin looks like a genius compared to this jackass.
Wait until he finds out that brake fluid is hygroscopic.
Magnets... how do they work?
Good thing that nothing ever goes wrong with hydraulics.
This is supposed to be a world leader?
This?
fucking magnets, how do the work?
Stable Fucking Genius.
