He is stupid, yes. But I think he might have been talking about electro magnets that get damaged when not properly protected. It is about the aircraft carrier that used it as a new launch system. Water, saltwater at that and there were some problems reported. I am sure the engineers are smart but a new system always has problems. Orange brain goes “bad tech” orange mouth goes “blaaargh”.

You’re doing the same bullshit that a bunch of idiots did all over media for years, when you hear trump or his ilk talking shit out of their ass, you immediately go “but if there was a sane normal person there what could they say”, and report on that, and this makes it as if there was a normal person there talking. It’s a sanewashing and it is a problem.

Yeah there’s nothing indicating he’s not just a complete moron who thinks magnets don’t work under water.

Also it’s a big problem if the person leading the most powerful country on the world cannot use precise language such that everyone is left second guessing what the fuck he’s on about.

Yes of course. That is the reason why you can put magnets under your foreskin under water and have nothing to fear under water, like getting hurt when metal comes nearby /s

Well, electromagnets don’t work when they short-circuit in water…
