The water and magnets comment was about electromagnets, too. He was completely wrong about the reliability of elevators on aircraft carriers, but he wasn’t saying permanent magnets can’t get wet.
Just commented, China’s curtailing or completely blocking rare earth exports. Somebody told Trump how vital those minerals are to industry. Trump thinks American can spin our own rare earth mining (?) in 2-years, but acknowledges Xi is holding the cards so he’s begging and threatening him over exports.
All Trump can really parse is, “Magnets vital, China screwing us.” He’s trying to spit out his understanding of the importance of magnets. Of course he’s the smartest guy in the room, “Nobody knows what magnets are (how vital they are across industries).”
It’s a dementia addled clusterfuck, but at least this time I can see where he’s going and why. Also explains his otherwise nonsensical rant to the Navy on replacing aircraft and ordnance lifters with steam power. I was wrong on his reasoning, now I see it. But fuck me, no one should have to take weeks to decode his dementia.
“President Xi was willing to do the railroad things—that’s magnets,” he said. “Now, nobody knows what a magnet is. If you don’t have a magnet, you don’t have a car. You don’t make a computer, you don’t make, er, televisions and radios and all the other things—you don’t make anything."
That’s exactly what it is. Could’ve been stated a little more clearly but this is a completely coherent statement. The man does a dozen deplorable things a day, are we really that starved for headlines that this is what we’re reporting on?
Almost convinced that his administration is paying for these articles so people will look at them and complaints about the Epstein files as equally valid.
It does not have to be “deciphered”. C’mon, now. It might seem kinda strange when it’s written out, but this is a completely normal sentence to say. The only way I can see this being misconstrued in good faith is maybe if English wasn’t someone’s first language, but if literally anyone besides Trump said this it wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow, let alone be headline worthy.
It kinda just sounded like he was saying most people don’t know all the actual things magnets are used for.
Poorly worded, sure. That’s my takeaway

OK, but you can still get electromagnets wet?
No you can’t, they’ll multiply. And if you feed them after midnight, they get voiced by Frank Welker instead of Howie Mandel.

When stick hit head head hurt. Big stick hit hard head hurt more. Coherent.
“Coherent” is not the word i would use.
Is there a specific reason why, or just… Trump bad?
Again, don’t get me wrong, Trump bad, but we gotta have standards.
Because it has to be deciphered like a secret code to be understood.
We’ve gotten normalized to how he rambles and meanders around subjects but his speech is far from coherent, imo.
