“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.
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.
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.
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
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 …
He thinks that magnets can be foiled by water.

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.
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!
He’s right though, he doesn’t know what’s going to happen…

Because he surrounds himself with sycophants. Anyone who would have pushed back is gone.
Someone probably did tell him. But he forgot. Because he’s old, and probably has dementia.

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.

Yes, which is 1 million percent true. Just ask any aquarium hobbyist or electromagnetic elevator engineer.
