    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.
