    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.

        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

      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.

      The Commander in Chief is spewing senile word salad daily now, I think there is value in highlighting as much of it as possible. He is stupid people’s idea of a smart person, and the more exposed he is as an actual idiot, the more people are exposed to his brain leaking out his ear, the more might have a chance of waking the fuck up.

      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.

      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.

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

            Pretty sure he’s the bad guy, I think if you’re going for a broader interpretation then it’s more accurate to say that God is also the bad guy.

      Dude, Trump quite literally described metal letters on the wall as “Entirely Bronze, carved, and entirely Brass” in the same fucking sentence.

      No this is not just his weird way of talking, he’s an addled old man that should have died 10 years ago.
