Trump says ‘no one knows what magnets are’ during bizarre Oval Office exchange

This is common with these sociopaths. Our middle-aged techbro overlords too are hugely ignorant, yet convinced that the only knowledge worth having is what they already know, and the only jobs worth doing are the ones they can do.

Welcome to the Dunning-Kruger administration.

I can't wait for the remixes of this and Trump

He hasn't even gotten that far. He doesn't know what they are, never mind how they work!

He does wear face paint

That motherfucker's lying and getting me pissed.

Everything is simple if you don't know anything about it.

Isn't there some question about the specifics of the mechanism of lift itself? Not like "this shouldn't be possible!" but more "it's easier to explain than it is to understand"

Like she thinks that aerospace engineers are just guessing, trying out throwing shapes into the sky until something doesn’t drop to the ground.

Having worked in my checkered past in aerospace for a decade or so, there's a very small grain of truth in that. While there is a lot of enginneering that goes back to first principles (physics and math), there are also what are euphemistically called "empirically determined constants." That's because, even when the equations are known, they can sometimes be a pig to actually compute ("ill-conditioned"), requiring absurd amounts of computer power.

So if I were on the plane next to that couple, I'd have said "Yep, we're flyin' on a wing and a prayer and there's a non-zero chance we could auger into the ground at any time. But don't fret, it doesn't happen all that often."

Ignorance is bliss.

The God Emperor of man wills it, that's how flight works

Under a pile of Chinese magnets - but no one knows how or why they work so they're frightened of touching them incase they get wet, stop working and the world stops turning.

Probably in the process of being shredded and redacted.

What are files? Files - how do they work?

Explanation doesn't include talk about him. He'd lose interest half way through.

So, basically In English, Please?

You guys overthrew us British for far less.

This is an insanely good point.

If we can explain to the morons that a tarriff is a tax, we might get somewhere. I seem to recall us being upset about taxes on "hemp" and "British coffee," or something.

Your country is headed the same way if you don't replace Starmer with someone more engaging. People want change, if they dont get it from Labour, they'll get it from Reform.

Rich people wanted to revolt against the British. That's why. Bottom up change is a lot harder.

Yes, that's the one! Famously buddies with Epstein and credibly accused of sexual assault of children on several occasions. Convicted felon Trump, the very same.

"Hello fellow American. This you should vote me. I leave power. Good. Thank you, thank you."

The Erath is flat. Can't explain that either.

Twice.

Nope. But then, Reagan had Nancy at his side to provide the smarts.

I used to like to think that maybe all his predecessors were just better at hiding it. But then he says something like this and I just can't

Shit, I'd definitely vote for Violent J over any Republican for president.

Expect a circus elect some clowns.

Is this a Tesla spinoff??

No. The resultant object will just reach equilibrium on one of it's sides.

If this guy wants to be taken seriously he's gonna have to start wearing more makeup than trump

And a candy floss wig to boot

everything is projection with these anti-intellectual shitbags. they don't understand how ANYTHING fucking works, beyond the grift, and therefore NO ONE could possibly know.

dear god hard drive disks alone..... so fucking dumb.

He wouldn't make it past the first few minutes. Even if he has the capacity to get the points Feynman was making, he'd never sit and actually listen to try and understand something. Remember, he already knows everything. Except when he doesn't, and because his ego is so massive, if he doesn't understand something, clearly no one can. Or when he learns something, no one else knew it before.

Why are there so many comments on that vid about insane clown posse? Weird seeing as how this post also mentions them. I'm sure there's a reference I'm missing but icp sucks and I'm not tryna care enough to listen to garbage.

I won't lie, I wasn't sure how magnets worked when I read the headline. Realizing this, I went and looked it up and educated myself.

Magnets are fucking cool btw.

Anne Frank? Do you mean Helen Keller? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Woah. I mean, yeah he's a clown. But I'm not so sure ICP is down with him.

The ICP group is anti-Trump and as silly as the ICP aesthetic is, juggalos seem like generally a positive community. They just want to get high and make friends. They are basically hippies in face paint.

So yeah, I get the connection but seems like this is doing them dirty.

I saw a lot of people say that they genuinely believe that he's a genius. It absolutely blows my mind. Sometimes you hear things like: did you know Macaulay Culkin is an actual genius? (Idk) And you go: well maybe, yeah i could imagine that. But Donald Trump? You couldn't make a supercut out of his delusional talking to make him seem smart.

Fake it till ya make it right?

It wasn't months, it was weeks. I know it feels longer with him constantly spewing idiotic thoughts.

He also stared at a solar eclipse.

Sure.

But once you boil down absolutely any physical effect... gravity, light, sound, (literally everything) you eventually get to that point.

The answer to any "why", after a certain number of follow-up "whys" is always always always "we don't know", irrespective of the original question.

Magnets aren't at all special in this regard.

I unfortunately watched the 60 Minutes bit last sunday on farmers getting fucked over by trump (parents had it on). It ended with one of the farmers saying "he's a very smart man, I'm not gonna take that away from him." The thought of the mental state you have to be in to think trump is a genius is just soul-crushing.

The Maxwell law? Isnt that when trump has to take TWO underage girls to the room instead of just one?

Fake news, leftist who don’t believe in our lord and savior Jesus Christ.

On the other hand, I’ve never heard a really good explanation of magnetic flux that doesn’t involve a bit of circular reasoning.
