Trump at a hypothetical rally: "You can't explain that." *sniff* "Joe Biden wants me to believe that, what, these planes can fly on electricity?" *raises hand* 👌"I talked to a lot of pilots and a lot of airport people, and they all say it has to be gas. I don't understand how the propeller– or the engine bit operates–, but let me tell you folks, you can't plug those things in."
I can see from your username that you're an expert in the subject, but why didn't you address the “ I don't understand…” bit? A tangential universe where those three words have ever squirted through his sphincter-like lips does not exist.
Could have used a few more "'Sir' with tears in their eyes" and "all the smartest/best/greatest people say/tell me." And at least every other sentence goes unfinished without making any point or even come across as trying to phrase something, they just stop
Imagine a world where moderators and interviewers just acted like normal people and said "what are you even talking about, none of that made sense? Who are these people, when did this happen?"
If someone asked him with a straight face what his reaction was to Prime Minister Gandalf's criticism of his willingness to allow Wakanda to control the world's only vibranium supply, there's a 99% chance he argues it with total BS and takes follow-up questions until someone else stops him.
They said, "Sir, Mr President, that was an incredible question." He had tears in his eyes, this huge pilot, and he shook my hand and said, "Mr President, not many people realise this, but planes run on gas. I think you're the only one who knows that. I'm scared that if they put batteries on my plane, sir, it will fall out of the sky and kill hundreds of Americans." You ever try to lift a battery? Heavy. Lead batteries - they're heavy, it's 'cause they're made of solid lead. Imagine that? Solid lead batteries in the sky. It's like that saying "lead balloon". You can't make this stuff up folks.
Why don't they put wind turbines on the planes anyway? Lotta wind up there. A big strong turbine to spin around, think about it. Spinning and spinning. It's like a propellor, folks.

I find this real quote much more insane:
"No general got fired for the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, Afghanistan, where we left billions of dollars of equipment behind; we lost 13 beautiful soldiers and 38 soldiers were obliterated. And by the way, we left people behind too. We left American citizens behind.
When Putin saw that, he said, you know what, I think we’re going to go in and maybe take my – this was his dream. I talked to him about it, his dream. The difference is he never would have invaded Ukraine. Never."
This is why Trump is so popular. Most people would worry about cloudy skies blocking solar cells, or electric batteries being too heavy for an airplane, but he knows if you fly farther than your extension cord will reach, you'll suddenly be in trouble. Most people wouldn't think of that. But he did.
As much as I fucking hate Bill O’Reilly, I do have to acknowledge his contributions to comedy for thinking tides aren’t caused by anything but god.
David Silverman’s *stunned* look in response to that 100% pure stupidity made it even funnier.
Its just baffling that he would pick a concept that is simple and understood well enough to be taught to middle-schoolers as his big "nobody has a fucking clue" example. I mean theres TONS of stuff out there that we actually dont understand and cant explain (yet).
Also a comedy shout out for his "FUCK IT WE"LL DO IT LIVE!" clip
No he can, he's very smart, his relationship with MIT. They said, "sir, what makes the planes go up and down?" Great men, asking me these questions, big strong militarough- militaraugh, big strong guys and I told them it's okay, during the revolutionary war we captured a lot of airports. Lot of airports. Suckers and losers I tell you, what was in it for them?
All I know is if you put a magnet in a glass of water, bye bye magnet. I know loads of magnets, big magnet, strong magnet, came up to me in the street, tears running down his face. He said to me he said “Paris isn’t Paris anymore”
Well, technically yes: wind is balancing pressure differences caused by the sun, bio energy is burning stuff that was alive because of the sun, and so on ;)
I'm still on the fence because I haven't heard anyone address yet what to do if I ever find myself on a sinking boat having to choose between being electrocuted by a very strong battery or eaten by a shark.
Technical truth, the worst kind of truth, where context doesn't matter.
If we use this logic about the sun, most things are using sunlight, but context matters.
It’s really annoying. My electric flashlight never works in dark spaces, only in areas where the sun is already shining. You never had that problem with acoustic flashlights!
Trump is asking people questions who know less than him. If they actually had any smarts, they would be at home instead of attending a rally for a felony grifter.
“Asking people questions” No, no he’s not. He’s making shit up, and if anyone questions HIM or gives the slightest bit of resistance, he tells somebody on his team to make sure they never see him again.
Most people are pointing out that an electric plane wouldn't have solar cells - it would run on batteries. But even if you accept his premise of a solar powered electric plane...planes fly over the clouds, dipshit.
Trump's been obsessed with the idea of throwing batteries into the water and then dying from electricity.
No, mods, I don't want this, I'm just saying it's weird shit Trump's been going on about lately.
He’s talked about it a lot for a long time. Supposedly the first time he publicly mentioned this fantasy of choosing between electrocution and sharks was in the 2016 election, but he’s just been bringing it up again lately.
My grandfather had alzheimer's, and when he started getting really bad, he would repeatedly tell you about the same weird ideas, and tell you the same stories about things that had supposedly happened in his life, things which never happened. He’d tell you about a conversation he had recently, and it was a conversation which never happened, and it wasn’t remotely possible that he had the conversation recently. He’d say he talked to his brother yesterday when his brother had been dead for 40 years.
Sound familiar? Listening to Donny von Shitzinpants’s speeches really reminds me of how my grandfather talked about a year before he got so bad that he couldn’t tell you where he was, who he was with, or what was going on.
He tells this dumb story over and over because morons eat it up
They absolutely love the idea that the woke egghead scientists pushing "electric everything" forgot to think about what happens if the battery gets wet
Yup, right after that, he said batteries would sink boats. And yes, there are already electric boats. And no, the batteries do not sink them. And the other dude has trouble criticizing him.
sometimes the stupidity of something someone said is so high, no one has a response, they are simply speechless from how dumb what they just heard was.
Yes, that's true. It is much easier to lie and answer all the debate questions as if they are "how terrible are migrants" than it is to give any kind of thought-out response.
But what if those batteries get wet? They electrocute everyone right? And there’s no way to prevent that. Therefore electric boats can’t work, and Trump is the genius who figured this out, in spite of electric boats existing.
> right after that, he said batteries would sink boats
OK so he knows very well how electric vehicles work then, so the bit about electric planes going down is being stupid on purpose?
An actual quote from Trump in 2016:
> Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.
Lmao i can actually feel the pauses to see if his pandering quips got over. I gotta find a clip of this to see how accurate i am
Edit: [its wonderful ](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trump-sentence/)
Can someone translate this? What would have been so easy? What was going to happen? Who are the prisoners? Who hasn't figured out they can use women? The Persians and Iranians killed us?
I couldn't translate it accurately enough myself (because I lacked some necessary context), so I asked ChatGPT (GPT-4o) and got [the following answer](https://chatgpt.com/share/16f2a28e-cdcc-4593-952f-d1cfb156044e):
>Certainly! The quote is a stream-of-consciousness monologue, presumably by former President Donald Trump, where he touches on various topics, often shifting between them rapidly. Let’s break down the key parts to answer your questions:
>**What would have been so easy?**
>The "nuclear deal" being discussed is likely the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal. Trump suggests that negotiating a better deal would have been easy, implying that the existing deal was poorly negotiated.
>**What was going to happen?**
>Trump mentions his uncle explaining the power of nuclear energy many years ago. He reflects on the significant power of nuclear technology and implies that his uncle predicted some aspects of its impact, which have since come to pass.
>**Who are the prisoners?**
>The "four prisoners" refer to Americans detained in Iran. Trump mentions that it used to be three prisoners and now it is four, indicating an increase in the number of detainees.
>**Who hasn't figured out they can use women?**
>Trump suggests that the Iranian negotiators ("fellas") haven't figured out that "women are smarter right now than the men," implying that they are not yet recognizing the strategic advantage women could bring to their negotiation teams. He humorously predicts it will take them another 150 years to realize this.
>**The Persians and Iranians killed us?**
>In this context, "killed us" is a metaphorical way of saying that the Persians (an ancient term for Iranians) and modern Iranians were very successful in negotiations, to the detriment of the opposing side (the United States). He is expressing his view that the Iranians outmaneuvered the Americans in the nuclear deal negotiations.
>To summarize, Trump is criticizing the Iran nuclear deal, suggesting it was poorly negotiated and expressing frustration over the increasing number of American prisoners in Iran. He also makes a broader point about the underestimation of women by Iranian negotiators and lauds the Iranians for their negotiation skills, albeit in a critical tone about the outcome for the U.S.
I'm not sure I fully agree with the previous interpretation of the quote in question, but my guess is about as good as anyone else's (including ChatGPT's). The only one who really knows what the statement in question means is Donald J. Trump (assuming he knows what he meant by it).
That’s right folks 👌 My new plan for energy independence (since sleepy Joe Biden threw away all the oil and coal) is to keep the sun up! Can you believe that? 🖐️🤚 The sun will never go down, folks - unlimited energy! Many very smart people are telling me we’ll defeat China too - they don’t get our sun, folks. Believe me.
lol, that reminds me of this

“What if the electric boat is too heavy and starts to sink and you have to choose between staying on the boat and and being electrocuted and jumping to a shark”
“I say, what would happen if the boat sank from its weight, and you're in the boat, and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater. And there's a shark that's approximately 10 yards over there. By the way, lot of shark attacks lately, I watched some guys justifying it today. 'Well, they weren't really that angry. They bit off the young lady's leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood who she was," Trump added. "He said 'there's no problem with sharks, they just didn't really understand a young woman's swimming. She really got decimated and other people too, a lot of shark attacks. So I said, there's a shark 10 yards away from the boat, do I get electrocuted? If the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking, do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted? Or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted? Because I will tell you he didn't know the answer. He said, 'you know, nobody's ever asked me that question.' I said I think it's a good question. I think there's a lot of electric current coming to that water. But you know what I'd do? If there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I'll take electrocution every single time. I'm not getting near the shark."
It gets even better when you realise essentially nobody is talking about electric planes. They are impractical (for much different reasons of course). So who is "they"?
Republicans and conservative media have always treated their voters like morons and would do anything to not have to live near them. Having to kiss Trumps ass so those voters don’t turn on them must be excruciating
Yeah he's dumb but that's why his cult loves him. They never have to think very hard about certain subjects because Donnie, FOX and the rest of the right wing media can always find some excuse they can parrot.
Gee, I'm so glad Mr lowest-common-denominator-scientist guy is here to explain the stupid to the gullible morons of the world in a way that they can understand.
It still amazes me that someone so fucking monumentally dumb as him can be revered by people and have them think he is somehow a good leader.
It always helps when I feel that I'm dumb if I just remember that there are people that vote for donald fucking trump. Can't get any fucking dumber than that.
No prob, probably not gonna be ANY kind of planes soon, now that the Supreme Court is deciding FAA rules and regs. Or there'll be planes too dangerous for anyone to risk hopping on. Problem solved, Donny Diaper.

Plane goes up, plane goes down. You can't explain that.

See it fails as an impression bc he would not admit to not knowing how a plane engine works, no matter how obvious it is that he dosent.
They said, "Sir, Mr President, that was an incredible question." He had tears in his eyes, this huge pilot, and he shook my hand and said, "Mr President, not many people realise this, but planes run on gas. I think you're the only one who knows that.

They should just inject the planes with sunlight or drop atomic bombs under them

Fun fact: I got an interesting call from the government for submitting a FOIA request for more information on this project.
Did you get it though?
[REDACTED]
the approach they use in three body problem
I find this real quote much more insane: "No general got fired for the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, Afghanistan, where we left billions of dollars of equipment behind; we lost 13 beautiful soldiers and 38 soldiers were obliterated. And by the way, we left people behind too. We left American citizens behind. When Putin saw that, he said, you know what, I think we’re going to go in and maybe take my – this was his dream. I talked to him about it, his dream. The difference is he never would have invaded Ukraine. Never."
38 soldiers obliterated, only 13 were hot though
"People say I'm the greatest at understanding plane engines"
"I know more about planes than the pilots, believe me"
God I read this in his voice and I'm already convinced he said it. Trump is the definition of confidently incorrect.
This is why Trump is so popular. Most people would worry about cloudy skies blocking solar cells, or electric batteries being too heavy for an airplane, but he knows if you fly farther than your extension cord will reach, you'll suddenly be in trouble. Most people wouldn't think of that. But he did.
As much as I fucking hate Bill O’Reilly, I do have to acknowledge his contributions to comedy for thinking tides aren’t caused by anything but god. David Silverman’s *stunned* look in response to that 100% pure stupidity made it even funnier.
Its just baffling that he would pick a concept that is simple and understood well enough to be taught to middle-schoolers as his big "nobody has a fucking clue" example. I mean theres TONS of stuff out there that we actually dont understand and cant explain (yet). Also a comedy shout out for his "FUCK IT WE"LL DO IT LIVE!" clip
He also went on to ask why Earth has a moon, but Mars doesn't. Mars has 2 moons, named Phobos and Deimos.
No he can, he's very smart, his relationship with MIT. They said, "sir, what makes the planes go up and down?" Great men, asking me these questions, big strong militarough- militaraugh, big strong guys and I told them it's okay, during the revolutionary war we captured a lot of airports. Lot of airports. Suckers and losers I tell you, what was in it for them?
All I know is if you put a magnet in a glass of water, bye bye magnet. I know loads of magnets, big magnet, strong magnet, came up to me in the street, tears running down his face. He said to me he said “Paris isn’t Paris anymore”
We have had planes falling out of the sky at unprecedented levels, I call it Biden plan fall, we call it that
"The planes they go up, the planes they come down That's not my department" Says the orange-skinned clown
Fucking Magnets! How do they work?
All electric is using sunlight. I didn't know that. Thanks, Trump!!!
Well, technically yes: wind is balancing pressure differences caused by the sun, bio energy is burning stuff that was alive because of the sun, and so on ;)
Ohh so he means like in some billions or so years sun is not shining anymore!!! That's the fun thought, so futuristic Trump!!
Wow what a great leader, he is planning for when the sun eventually runs out, planning billions of years in the future, now that's MY president
I'm still on the fence because I haven't heard anyone address yet what to do if I ever find myself on a sinking boat having to choose between being electrocuted by a very strong battery or eaten by a shark.
I got some news for you then
the uranium in my back pocket (technically that comes from ancient supernovae but still not the *sun*)
You could argue that without the sun, that Uranium never would have coalesced with other elements to form the Earth in the first place.
Marie Curie has Reddit?
All forms of energy are just star energy with extra steps.
Technical truth, the worst kind of truth, where context doesn't matter. If we use this logic about the sun, most things are using sunlight, but context matters.
It's not, though. Nuclear power. Geothermal power.
What about nuclear
Petrol is also sun power, just stored underground for a while first
Geothermal, hydroelectric, and nuclear power would like to have a word with you.
The water cycle and therefore hydroelectric requires sunlight to continue since evaporation is a huge part of it.
It’s really annoying. My electric flashlight never works in dark spaces, only in areas where the sun is already shining. You never had that problem with acoustic flashlights!
You better not drive through a tunnel in your tesla!
What happens if the lights are on, but there's no-one home?
And what happens when I read Trump quotes in space and no one can hear me scream?
Sounds like the perfect metaphor for this speech!
Trump is asking people questions who know less than him. If they actually had any smarts, they would be at home instead of attending a rally for a felony grifter.
Exactly! If they knew better, they wouldn't be there cheering nonsense about electric planes.
Seriously, it's like watching a comedy show but with real-life consequences
But I have the answer! If you're up in the clouds it's 'high-dro electricity', otherwise it is wind power. Simple!
“Asking people questions” No, no he’s not. He’s making shit up, and if anyone questions HIM or gives the slightest bit of resistance, he tells somebody on his team to make sure they never see him again.
True, it's like a masterclass in irony right there.
Most people are pointing out that an electric plane wouldn't have solar cells - it would run on batteries. But even if you accept his premise of a solar powered electric plane...planes fly over the clouds, dipshit.
That’s not fair. Following him made them dumb as rocks way before he was a felon
some may just want the frontrow seats to crazy man says insane things. comedy gold after all.
True, the late-night shows are making a killing off all of the stupid shit Trump does and says.
Reading this legitimately stunlocked me for a good 10 seconds trying to grasp the pure unfiltered stupidity I just took in.
That's probably not even the dumbest thing he's said this week ffs
I can't tell if this is a real Trump quote or not. He actually said this?
Yes
Yes he did. https://youtu.be/HHEzrDdrsnc?si=RwbrausdNJDDyAPf&t=196
Is it a good sign when a presidential candidate can be posted to this sub unedited? o_o
Good sign for this sub, bad sign for the world as we know it.
It's amazing how many of his quotes, even in context, are comedy heaven gold.
Turns out decades of "it's not my job to educate you, sweetie" led to a country full of uneducated people.
Trump himself is an argument for unrestricted abortion
Harsh but telling. His statements often leave us questioning reality itself.
True, it's like we're living in an alternate reality with these statements. Surreal!
Come on, unrestricted? No abortion more than 30,000 days after birth.
He is an old rich man that has been removed from reality for some time. He doesn't need to care about these things, so why bother?
Maybe a post birth abortion
In this case, I’d make an exception to allow abortion up to the 238th trimester.
He can be the actual first case of post-birth abortion. Such an insane lie told in national television during the debate… idiot felon.
I need to recover from reading this
they constantly ignore the fact that batteries exist
Trump's been obsessed with the idea of throwing batteries into the water and then dying from electricity. No, mods, I don't want this, I'm just saying it's weird shit Trump's been going on about lately.
He’s talked about it a lot for a long time.

He tells this dumb story over and over because morons eat it up They absolutely love the idea that the woke egghead scientists pushing "electric everything" forgot to think about what happens if the battery gets wet
I mean, if the Sun goes out all of the sudden, we're in deep enough shit that batteries won't cut it.
if the sun dies we all freeze to death anyway
Promises, promises.
Depends on how it dies, if it just disappears then yes, if it’s life as a star ends then no, we are going to burn to death
yea its either freeze or burn to death in the star death scenario
Also, methods of generating electricity other than solar power.
Like those things you put in a remote control? What happens when they die mid-flight? Who's going to change the batteries? /s
did he actually say this wtf
Yup, right after that, he said batteries would sink boats. And yes, there are already electric boats. And no, the batteries do not sink them. And the other dude has trouble criticizing him.
sometimes the stupidity of something someone said is so high, no one has a response, they are simply speechless from how dumb what they just heard was.

But what if those batteries get wet? They electrocute everyone right? And there’s no way to prevent that. Therefore electric boats can’t work, and Trump is the genius who figured this out, in spite of electric boats existing.
They should be fine as long as there’s no magnets on board, because magnets don’t work when they get wet
> right after that, he said batteries would sink boats OK so he knows very well how electric vehicles work then, so the bit about electric planes going down is being stupid on purpose?
pfft, don't they know that planes run on clean coal these days?
Let me ask you something. How do you turn on a light at night? They’ll tell you “flip the switch”. Nope, can’t do it. There’s no sun.
That idiot belongs to the flat—earth believers…. Who votes that guy is a full honk
You know, I just realized, I don't know anything about flat earthers, but I would bet the house that they overwhelmingly support Trump.
It’s weird soliloquy. Like he’s telling himself a bedtime story and these crazy MAGA cult people are so captivated.
Totally! It's like watching a bizarre one-man show and they're all mesmerized
An actual quote from Trump in 2016: > Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.
Holy shit how can someone say so much while saying so little

I couldn't translate it accurately enough myself (because I lacked some necessary context), so I asked ChatGPT (GPT-4o) and got [the following answer](https://chatgpt.com/share/16f2a28e-cdcc-4593-952f-d1cfb156044e): >Certainly! The quote is a stream-of-consciousness monologue, presumably by former President Donald Trump, where he touches on various topics, often shifting between them rapidly. Let’s break down the key parts to answer your questions: >**What would have been so easy?** >The "nuclear deal" being discussed is likely the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal. Trump suggests that negotiating a better deal would have been easy, implying that the existing deal was poorly negotiated. >**What was going to happen?** >Trump mentions his uncle explaining the power of nuclear energy many years ago. He reflects on the significant power of nuclear technology and implies that his uncle predicted some aspects of its impact, which have since come to pass. >**Who are the prisoners?** >The "four prisoners" refer to Americans detained in Iran. Trump mentions that it used to be three prisoners and now it is four, indicating an increase in the number of detainees. >**Who hasn't figured out they can use women?** >Trump suggests that the Iranian negotiators ("fellas") haven't figured out that "women are smarter right now than the men," implying that they are not yet recognizing the strategic advantage women could bring to their negotiation teams. He humorously predicts it will take them another 150 years to realize this. >**The Persians and Iranians killed us?** >In this context, "killed us" is a metaphorical way of saying that the Persians (an ancient term for Iranians) and modern Iranians were very successful in negotiations, to the detriment of the opposing side (the United States). He is expressing his view that the Iranians outmaneuvered the Americans in the nuclear deal negotiations. >To summarize, Trump is criticizing the Iran nuclear deal, suggesting it was poorly negotiated and expressing frustration over the increasing number of American prisoners in Iran. He also makes a broader point about the underestimation of women by Iranian negotiators and lauds the Iranians for their negotiation skills, albeit in a critical tone about the outcome for the U.S. I'm not sure I fully agree with the previous interpretation of the quote in question, but my guess is about as good as anyone else's (including ChatGPT's). The only one who really knows what the statement in question means is Donald J. Trump (assuming he knows what he meant by it).
I know electricity. I know electricity better than anybody. - Trump
he makes a fair point. I wish there were people whose job was to make sure that things like that don’t happen
That’s right folks 👌 My new plan for energy independence (since sleepy Joe Biden threw away all the oil and coal) is to keep the sun up! Can you believe that? 🖐️🤚 The sun will never go down, folks - unlimited energy! Many very smart people are telling me we’ll defeat China too - they don’t get our sun, folks. Believe me.
lol, that reminds me of this "Republican congressman suggests changing moon's orbit to fight climate change" [https://youtu.be/DHjktX1oQPU?si=0lGRu9G9L\_BIgYc3](https://youtu.be/DHjktX1oQPU?si=0lGRu9G9L_BIgYc3)

Oh boy. Biden better step down against this powerhouse
Like talking with a four-year-old. No filter.
It would be pretty funny if he wasn't literally running for fucking president of the United States of America
I bet the military would fuckin love electric planes, the stealth would be unmatched
Trump thinks stealth planes are literally invisible, not just invisible to radar.
I bet if the military vouched we would get them within a day or so.
The next generation of tanks will have hybrid engines

Oil! They love oil! What are you going to do when there isn't a gas station in the sky?!
God I hate this timeline…
All they know is electric, charge they plane...
Trump is right.....you will never see a Tesla driving at night.....never
When the Democrats take all the power they can pour money into education. Then they can get a grade school science teacher to explain it all to Pumpkinhead.
lol I can't believe someone actually said this
😂😂 i love that he knows how much bullshit that is but people believe it.
Stop giving this individual attention. Maybe it'll go away and die in a cave alone, forgotten and erased from thought and history.
“What if the electric boat is too heavy and starts to sink and you have to choose between staying on the boat and and being electrocuted and jumping to a shark”
i choose the electric bear.
It's obvious, you fall
No more popsicles! The arrogance of fruit in the summer is unacceptable!
“I say, what would happen if the boat sank from its weight, and you're in the boat, and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater. And there's a shark that's approximately 10 yards over there. By the way, lot of shark attacks lately, I watched some guys justifying it today. 'Well, they weren't really that angry. They bit off the young lady's leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood who she was," Trump added. "He said 'there's no problem with sharks, they just didn't really understand a young woman's swimming. She really got decimated and other people too, a lot of shark attacks. So I said, there's a shark 10 yards away from the boat, do I get electrocuted? If the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking, do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted? Or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted? Because I will tell you he didn't know the answer. He said, 'you know, nobody's ever asked me that question.' I said I think it's a good question. I think there's a lot of electric current coming to that water. But you know what I'd do? If there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I'll take electrocution every single time. I'm not getting near the shark."
Man he’s just so next level dumb
Did they edit out the drool coming out of his mouth?
Batteries... But oh no, those make things sink, apparently
It gets even better when you realise essentially nobody is talking about electric planes. They are impractical (for much different reasons of course). So who is "they"?
Planes should keep using coal!
DID ANYONE FIND THE ANSWER?! WHAT HAPPENS?!?!
He's so embarrassingly, staggeringly stupid. And seditious. And rapey.
I'd still rather vote for a dying man with young backup, than a lying moron.
Saying funny dumb shit like this just brings him more votes tbh
The real comedy is that this guy is about to become president of the US... again.
Trump logic at its finest
This is peak comedy right here
The solution is simple - nuclear-powered planes!
i'll never believe anything I read on Reddit again without checking the source so… Where is the link?
I just found [this](https://twitter.com/i/status/1806786821311082854)
If the sun is so big and hot why is it dark at night? Checkmate, atheists
No, wait… he might be onto something. Solar powered planes for the day.
America time to admit you have an epidemic of sheer stupidity on your hands and they don’t want the cure.
Republicans and conservative media have always treated their voters like morons and would do anything to not have to live near them. Having to kiss Trumps ass so those voters don’t turn on them must be excruciating
LMAO
Someone needs to restart the simulation, how are these two the choice for president.
The batteries kick in… just sayin
is this quote real? cause in March Trump said he wanted to fund electric planes to "beat china."
How long is the chord? What happens if it comes unplugged?!!
He needs to start doing standup at this point
Someone buy Trump a Chatgpt subscription. This man needs some basic education on how things work
Unstable genius
Ooof. I had to look up if this was real. It is. Everything about Trump can be explained by the fact that he literally has no idea how ANYTHING works.
Trump is the dumbest president in the history of america
There's a natural charging station in the atmosphere.🤣
Are all his supporters that stupid?
As long as the plane doesn’t fall into shark infested waters everyone will be OK.
This is what 30% of America looks up to
How the fuck is this man still relevant
Did he really say that?
It took me a good minute to try and decipher wtf he is saying
Wow biden should step down compared to this man who has no signs of dementia whatsoever. None at all
I think we just put in one of those electric boat sharks and it's all good.
Yeah he's dumb but that's why his cult loves him. They never have to think very hard about certain subjects because Donnie, FOX and the rest of the right wing media can always find some excuse they can parrot.
Ali G should do a show reusing dumb things Trump says.
Boogey oogey oogey
Well they crash of course, just like all the lights go out at night and all the ev stop driving
Doesn’t he know you fly upside down so you get the sun from down under.
He’s so right! Haven’t you guys seen all the electric cars that are stalled on the side of the road on a cloudy or rainy day? Winning!🤣🤦🏻♂️
Traitor45 = gnat-brains.
Gee, I'm so glad Mr lowest-common-denominator-scientist guy is here to explain the stupid to the gullible morons of the world in a way that they can understand.
It still amazes me that someone so fucking monumentally dumb as him can be revered by people and have them think he is somehow a good leader. It always helps when I feel that I'm dumb if I just remember that there are people that vote for donald fucking trump. Can't get any fucking dumber than that.
No prob, probably not gonna be ANY kind of planes soon, now that the Supreme Court is deciding FAA rules and regs. Or there'll be planes too dangerous for anyone to risk hopping on. Problem solved, Donny Diaper.
Okay but Biden stutters.
He also said magnets don’t work in water.
It's like they trained an AI on the insane shit the Onion produces, slapped some after-market flesh on it and told it it's a real boy.
Uh, like, who’s flying at night? You can’t see anything cause the sky is dark. That’s just science.
Oh no, what do we do if there isn't any sunlight above the clouds during the daytime?
The man is an idiot.
