He didn't really say nobody knows what a magnet is in a literal sense, I think it was just his weird way of talking. When criticing trump lets be a little careful since its important to get it right otherwise noone will believe our other critics.

they lie a thousand times a day and everyone believes them. We misquote one of them once and we're liars to never be trusted. Interesting how that works.

[-] wilfim@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 weeks ago

A fair point but thats the world we live in. When our opponents abandon truth we have to cherish it more so that we are trusted

That is the world you live in because people like you make it that way by thinking that the us is a land where trust is worth anything politically.

[-] glitchdx@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Don't know why you're being downvoted for pointing out that the shit reality we live in is shit.

We also have to refuse to accept that there's an impossible rule for us (that they impose), and no rule for them.

Trump,79, stood in front of servicepeople of the U.S. Navy and said, “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.”

It really does sound like he genuinely doesn't know what magnets are. What is water got to do with magnets?

Guess there is a reason why they do those dementia tests so often...

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 weeks ago

He absolutely said nobody knows how magnets work. Sit down.

[-] FatVegan@leminal.space 6 points 4 weeks ago

Well yes, but he meant that he really likes underaged girls.

Dominance and degredation are always in the subtext with Mango Mussolini.

And by "likes," mean means "wants to rape and hurt."

You presume to understand the speakers intention. The speaker is an illiterate trust fund baby child rapist. He literally does not know how magnets work and he believes he is the smartest person on the planet, therefore he thinks no one knows how they work. There is no depth to the logic.

[-] TheJesusaurus@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 weeks ago

Did you just time travel here from 2016?

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago

noone will believe our other critics

LOL what planet have you been living on, and can I get a ride there?

[-] starman2112@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

I like him cause he says what he thinks

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

You're right! He said that the magnets are new thing and he personally doesn't know how they work. It's so much better, it almost makes perfect sense, very smart president, bigly smart.

[-] starman2112@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

No, he very literally said "nobody knows what a magnet is"

[-] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Except he directly said just that.

Generally I agree that often he'll make some flub and a bigger deal is made of it. Like with the 'Miracle Mile' vs. 'Maginficent Mile' thing, he said the wrong thing but that's the least of the problems with that story and a fairly mundane and understandable mistake to make.

This time the statement is exactly as said, though real world consequences for it are similarly low.

[-] zeca@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 weeks ago

I agree with your sentiment, but maybe we're way past people not believing that trump is a lunatic...
