hahahaah someone clearly used the words 'israel iron dome' in his presence, and this is the result.
what a fucking idiot.
I also think it's finally sunk in that the wall idea will never actually work. And then someone said "iron dome", and his brain concluded that a dome sounds more bad-ass than a wall, anyway.
Recall he has said that his temperment now and when he was in first grade is "not all that different". So whenever you try to work out his thought process, it helps to think like a seven-year-old. (Not six: If Trump were a kid today, his parents would have definitely held him back a year)
Alternative hypothesis: he's also been listening to flat-earthers who think there's a crystal dome keeping the air from leaking into space, and he got both ideas mixed together in his brain.
Doesn't dementia affect a person's ability to recognize metaphor?
We'll say it yet again: This isn't an act, folks. He really is this stupid.
I...I kind of wonder if he means something like the iron dome that Israel has. I'm trying to translate his senile brain into something that is tangible.
But then again.. we're talking about a man who said a nuke could get rid of a hurricane.
Sigh
That's exactly what he's talking about. The full context is him talking about MIT graduates shooting down an incoming missile - kindergarten sound effects and all.
The way people here are misinterpreting it as him wanting a physical dome just makes us look like fools in addition to him.
What he's actually saying is dumb enough. Turning a scarecrow into a straw man isn't helpful.
Read the comments about his thoughts on magnets elsewhere in this thread and realize he means exactly what he says, no translation required.
Why are Republicans in general so damned afraid of everything?
fear is how they control their base. its not logic, which is why we cant argue with them.
As much as I'll happily rag on the prequels, I think a lot about a line from the Phantom Menace, as said by Yoda: “Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger…anger leads to hate…hate leads to suffering.”

They're literally, physiologically hypersensitive to fear.
The Simpsons movie is getting a remake?
I was elected to lead, not to read.
You know, when I watch, uh, our guys operate those things, it’s unbelievable. Missile coming in, missile coming in. These geniuses sit down. Most of them are, you know, they’re from MIT. But they sit down, bing bing bing bing, boom, ph-sheee. It’s gone. It’s amazing. I think we could use, do you like that? I mean, isn’t that better than giving other countries billions of dollars? Billions. We’re going to get billions of dollars out of the countries and so they can build a dome, but we don’t have a dome ourselves. We’re going to have the greatest dome ever.
He's clearly not talking about a literal physical dome.
Clickbait.
Are you sure about that? With that word salad, who can really be sure what he's thinking.
He heard someone talking about this, probably: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Dome
Which is still stupid, because the we already have this tech.
What I'm taking away from this transcript is that he is indeed talking about a real-ass dome
As impenetrable as the dome protecting trump and republicans from reality.
...sooo how's that wall going?
Seems like that'd be the first step in building a dome, but the best we could do was a couple of stretches of fence. I'm sure it'll be fine - Trump is a man of his word after all.
I genuinely view conservatism as a mental illness at this point.
the reason magas love the guy? he speaks fluent moron.
He... he knows that Israel's "Iron Dome" isn't LITERALLY a dome, right? Like the Iron Curtain wasn't ACTUALLY a curtain.
If you watch the video he goes on rambling about how "MIT graduates" go "bing bong boom" and shoot down an incoming missile "and then it's gone."
So yes, he seems aware it's a missile intercept program and not a literal physical dome.
And he'll make the aliens pay for it.
Can't wait for the maga folks to defend this saying things like "he didn't mean that"
Does he not understand or care that the Patriots we're giving to Ukraine ARE a dome that does what he's talking about?
If you’re talking about trump and ask ‘does he understand’, the answer is ‘no’.
I swear I made this joke in 2016.
It would basically pay for itself, with the savings from not having to nuke the hurricanes.
My life experience tells me we will never agree on a thermostat setting.
Let's face it, they replaced Trump's brain with ChatGPT alpha internal dev version, where the trainee set the wrong parameters.
Its like a wall but for the sky, I am a very successful wall builder, some might even say the best.
🤨 🤔 🤷♀️
Domes would totally protect us from all of of the government drones that have been flying around for the past couple hundred million years or so. Also turbines and cats. I like cats.
The world is only 2024 years old. Read a colander, maroon!
What about some kind of curtain? Make it with something strong like iron?
Ok Davros, calm yer tits before you go suggesting we genetically mutate our whole race into a bunch of hateful squids in tin cans trying to EXTERMINATE the rest of the universe. 😒
This is not The Simpsons Movie nor Crysis 3.
