  Per Newsweek article

  “Think of it, magnets,” Trump said. “Now all I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets. Why didn’t they use John Deere? Why didn’t they bring in the John Deere people? Do you like John Deere? I like John Deere.”

  Incoherent rambling like usual

    How. How is he THIS fucking stupid? How did someone THIS fucking stupid become president twice?

      Just look how stupid the average person is. Half of the people are more stupid. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

        The last few years have taught me that the difference between stupid and not stupid is oceans wider than I thought.

        I turns out stupid people are closer to what I thought the intelligence of an animal was.

        These people literally don’t think. They basically pattern match and that’s it. There’s no deeper reasoning. There’s no capacity for nuance, no understanding or extension of empathy. They can barely read. If you string the gibberish from an AI they’ll blindly trust that it’s correct above all evidence.

        Meanwhile we’re seeing all these nuanced multi step problem solving behaviours from birds and all animals and even bumblebees…

      He’s 80 and spent 6 of then as president. I don’t think you’d fare much better. Why blame a senile man rather than those who put him in place?l

        Because even before he was a senile old man, he was already a child raping con artist?

        My grandfather was 104 when he died and until he was about 95 and had a stroke he was still perfectly capable of tinkering around with his car and it still worked at the end of it. “Old” isn’t an excuse, anyway we have documented evidence that he has been been a gormless idiot his whole life.

    He said he would drop the glass on the magnets, not put them underwater. You can demagnetize a permanent magnet by violently striking in the absence of a background field.

    I’m not saying he’s good, but I don’t think he’s entirely wrong.

    source

    • ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      The magnitude of physical stress waves a magnet has to undergo to be demagnetized is huge. Most magnetic materials will shatter instead unless the force is applied precisely.

      I think he vaguely remembered something about electromagnetism and that water on electronics is a no-no.

      The main takeaway is that he should appoint an engineer to advise him on technical topics (and Surgeon General on medical matters, etc.), otherwise any sufficiently sly corporate sponsor or media can easily steer his policy by pretending to be experts. I guess the only fields he does not need to delegate are being a douchebag on TV and lying about real estate.

        Citation needed! I’ve done it with a cheap iron magnet and a hammer.

        Anyway I think he implied that these magnet was just below Curie temperature.

        He might just be a stable genius.

  At this point you can’t really tell whether something is satire or a quote from the orange president.

  He was talking about electromagnets at sea ships… Because the sea-water would short them.

  But then, it’s almost as stupid as the short version.

    This is retarded as well. I once repaired an undersea $10,000 cable for like $600.

    Like bitch (orange menace), pay people what they’re fucking worth, I was worth 3 times that much, if not more…

    And just in case anyone thinks that’s AI, ABC News vetted it as being true here (in the body, not the video). I know why voting records can’t be public, but I simultaneously wish they had to be too. As an appropriately-colored scarlet letter.

  When ever you think something sounds too stupid even for trump. No you didn’t.

  His stupidity is his defining characteristic among his voters. For the wealthy and powerful, he’s an easily manipulable rube. For the poor saps he says the same stupid things they think and say. He’s just like them, so relatable!
