Donald Trump says that “no one knows what magnets are” during a strange Oval Office press conference. During the swearing in of a new ambassador to India on Monday (10 November), the President launched into a rant about China, whilst discussing their recent agreement to start easing rare earth export rules. “China was going to hit us with rare-earth. Now, everybody says, ‘Oh, what does that mean?’ Magnets. If China refused to give magnets, because they have a monopoly on magnets… there wouldn’t be a car made in the entire world.” He then claimed that “nobody knows what magnets are”, before going on to praise the “great deal” the two nations made in October. Whilst the talks did not end in a formal agreement, Mr Trump agreed to reduce tariffs on some Chinese goods entering the US, whilst Beijing agreed to suspend export control measures it had placed on rare earths.
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.
I like the ones that think he is truth. That he has never said a single lie or misleading statement or anything resembling a lie. Ever. In his life. People actually think this. And those people vote.
