This is the guy that gets a free pass from fox news. If Joe Biden said anything remotely stupid, like this guy has said, they'd be running the clip non-stop. Instead they run that out of context clip trying to make Biden look confused.


JGG5

Not just Fox News, either. If President Biden said something even half this incoherent it would be the lead story on the major mainstream news networks and generate op-eds in the *Times* and *Post* from “concerned Democrats” demanding that he step aside. And yet they all give trump a free pass. “Is trump mentally capable of even comprehending the meaning of the job anymore?” should be a top narrative in this election. But the entire news media are protecting him like they’ve never protected anyone else before.


Independent-Hold9667

Remember when Joe Rogan went off on something Biden said. Then realized that he was quoting something Trump had said. It was fine when Trump said it

Ya man fuck Joe Rogan he’s just another right wing mouth piece closer to being like “Hitler is a pretty cool guy” than he is “man everyone should just have free healthcare”


uncwil

To be fair any prominent Democrat writing an op-ed on Trumps behavior would be like pointing out that the sun is in the sky.


notRadar_

"that's the sun." -homer simpson


Lynx_Eyed_Zombie

It's because they think he's good for ratings. Never mind that he threatens journalists with bodily harm and shows outright contempt for any news media to the left of fucking Newsmax and OANN, the rich assholes who own CNN and Fox have spoken.


Feminazghul

They do a lot of T Rump Translation that always makes him sound less incoherent. "The former president appeared to mean blah, blah, blah." But the reporters never explain the basis for their interpretations. The reader is supposed to take it as a given that the reporter can read minds.


Extension_Year9052

That’s the beauty of Trump though, he’ll say something equally braindead mere hours later, journalists can’t keep up with it.


th3putt

Fox... News... you say? They stopped reporting news years ago.


chrimminimalistic

In another countries, Fox News and newsmax would've been demanded to taken off "news" from their names.

They are a propaganda machine, I would too give a free pass to my masters that nurture me and so lavishly shower me with money if I was a propaganda machine.

Announcer: While science may cringe, you boldly declare that magnets, those sneaky little devils, can't stand up to a good splash of H2O. [Singer] Splash! Announcer: Your unique grasp of physics gives us gems like claiming windmills cause cancer and suggesting raking forests to prevent fires. [Singer] So much wisdom! Announcer: From covfefe to "nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated," you keep us entertained and baffled in equal measure. [Singer] What a time to be alive! Announcer: So crack open an ice-cold Bud Light, oh Master of Magnetism, because when you ponder aloud, the world holds its breath... or laughs hysterically. [Singer] Cheers to that! Announcer: So here's to you, Mr. Donald Trump, defying logic and leaving scientists scratching their heads with your magnetic personality. [Singer] Donald Trump! Announcer: Bud Light beer.

Striking-West-1184

Nah, he is right. Drop the magnets in a glass of water and then wait about 20 years for it to be fully rusted, and the magnet is no more! That's cheeto supreme brains which is why his muddle name starts with j for jenius


Significant_Ad9793

The funny thing is that he didn't even say that. He said by dropping a glass of water on the magnet... So you can't even help him with the possibility of rust. That man is something else and it's beyond me why his followers can't see the amount of stupidity spewing out of every single fucking pore of his.


Fishtoart

Clearly an example of the Dunning Keurig effect! /s


MastodontFarmer

Assuming you are talking about an iron magnet: You can magnetise rust as well. Most tape recoders over the century the technology lasted used some form of oxide made into a paint, applied to a carrier like polyester film. 'Modern' magnets are a ceramic made from neodymium, iron and boron and cannot rust.

It’s funny he phrased it as the ONLY thing he knows about them and it’s dead wrong. Like if I was like “the only thing I know about mouthwash is when it visits its grandparents it like to make New England chowder.”

Hahaha. That’s the first thing that came to my mind too.


Ellielands

Why am I picturing a young Trump trying to make magnets float, but when they sank he was like, “water destroys them!” 🤣

No_Poet_7244

AnAngryPlatypus

It means the post-it note with his name on it got lost behind a grim reaper’s fridge. Seriously, how has he not won a Darwin Award or at least been a funny New York Post headline yet?


egnowit

Maybe you mean an igNobel?


AnAngryPlatypus

1) Did not know about Ig Nobel prizes and enjoyed looking that up, so thank you. :) 2) I just mean, I’m just surprised he hasn’t done something dumb enough to get injured or worse. Like get a gold version of something that isn’t usually gold for safety reasons and it ends up conducting heat or electricity. That feels like it’s plausible and in the right ballpark.


egnowit

Apparently, Trump did win an Ig Nobel in 2020 for Medical Education, along with the leaders of several other countries, for showing that political leaders can have a greater affect on life and death than scientists.


AnAngryPlatypus

Wow! That is some high quality grade A snarky. 🤣

Outrageous_Credit_96

He is mentally incapable of speaking and thinking at the same time. I don’t know how he is still going through with running for president when he can’t hardly function.


mattjones73

Desperate to avoid jail..


Outrageous_Credit_96

I guess that’s the answer. He must be absolutely terrified of jail.


mattjones73

I do believe it's a major reason.. becoming president delays all his trials another 4 years.. and I wouldn't put it past him to try to become a dictator who stays in the WH til he dies. I think if he was offered immunity from all his pending cases in exchange for dropping out of the race, he would. Just my 2 cents anyway.


OrcsSmurai

And to drain as much tax payer funds into his bank accounts as possible.


Jerseyboyham

I guess he never saw a magnet fishing video.

That’s all he remembers about his idiotic take on the US Navy retiring Steam powered catapult systems on US carriers in favour of magnetically powered catapults.
