Please stop writing headlines that start with “Trump, 79,” that don’t end with. Well. You know.
They started doing it this year to clickbait people into thinking he died
Those headlines you're thinking of don't start "Trump, 79". They start, "President Donald John Trump, 79."
Unf, stop. It makes me feel things as I read that out in my head, then let down and blocked like the cat just jumped on the bed and threw up right near the end.
why they play with my feelings like that 😭
Juggalo president confirmed?
Insane Clown President
I'd rather have violent j & shaggy 2 dope in the white house tbh
Muthafuckin miracles
What everyone glosses over and completely never see.
Is that this idiot represents the entire country.
If you have an idiot for a leader.
Logic says, your country is full of idiots.
Logic says, your country is full of idiots.
Yeah, we went through this already, George Bush the Second made you guys look very stupid
tbf, he really is the perfect representation of a large subsection of the US population, rich, middle/working class, poor....
he's dumb as shit and acquired everything because of his name (wasting most of that fortune/legacy to boot).
From the article
The “polarizing” president was in conversation with Fox News about the economy when he veered off track…
Dad reporter confirmed. He even snuck in an “off track” before talking about trains.
What is this guys obsession with magnets?
"Magnets don't work when wet" "Nobody knows what magnets are"
Does this obsession stem from the fact that he repels every decent person?
Advisors are telling him how important rare earths are and their importance in magnets. Since China has curtailed (if not halted?) exports, the rest of the world's industries are in rather deep shit.
This is where all the mumble-fucking about magnets is coming from. Trump's trying to say they're not important, they suck, we don't need them, in order to head off supply issues. Same reason he was telling our Navy that we should replace the magnetic plane and ordnance lifters and go back to steam power. No shit.
He also seems to think America can spin up our own rare earth supply, but acknowledges he basically begging and threatening Xi in the meantime.
Anyway, today's rant finally tied it all together for me.
“You know, the new thing is magnets. So instead of using hydraulic that can be hit by lightning, and it’s fine. You take a little glass of water, you drop it on magnets. I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
Is that even English?
To be fair: "A magnet works because negatively charged electrons repel each other. "
"Why do negatively charged electrons repel each other? "
"..... Well .. Ok, so hear me out. You're going to need to understand quantum mechanics and then the fermion principal. Then you'll know that the electrons aren't allowed to occupy the same space, and the easiest way to avoid being in the same space is to not touch each other. The electrons know they aren't allowed to touch because they've studied fermions."
I mean, in the same way that no one knows for certain what matter really is.
But that really doesn’t matter. Release the Epstein files, provide healthcare for the US, and stop imprisoning my friends and neighbors
I know what a magnet is. I even know how a magnet works! And it's not magic!
Fucking magnets, how do they work? And I don't wanna talk to a scientist Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed.
I know what one is, but I don't know how they work.
Magnetism. 😌
I read another comment that makes sense. When he says nobody knows he truly believes if he doesn't know it then no one does.
Yeah, that's the narcissistic personality disorder talking.
He's the first Dunning-Kruger president
The paper company? Or the knifey-fingers guy with the fingerprint for a face?
We can’t be starting headlines like that without considering the emotional roller coaster involved.
Im glad I wasn't the only one to be let down by the third word in that headline.
RIP ASS DON
Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can't explain that. You can't explain why the tide goes in.
Holy shit something just clicked for me!
"Ice is slippery, because water expands when it freezes" -->so when compressed it...
Granted it's not really something I thought of on that level being from the equator.
I once said "Some people living in 2025 aren't very far advanced from people who lived in the Dark Ages" (or Middle Age, whatever). Then somebody replied "... but they are wearing nice suits!". That's about the difference. The layer of modern civilization is thin.
Wikipedia has some interesting parts about it as well:
The Dark Ages is a term, now deprecated by most historians, for the Early Middle Ages (c. 5th–10th centuries), or occasionally the entire Middle Ages (c. 5th–15th centuries), in Western Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, which characterises it as marked by economic, intellectual, and cultural decline.
The concept of a "Dark Age" as a historiographical periodization originated in the 1330s with the Italian scholar Petrarch, who regarded the post-Roman centuries as "dark" compared to the "light" of classical antiquity.[1][2] The term employs traditional light-versus-darkness imagery to contrast the era's supposed darkness (ignorance and error) with earlier and later periods of light (knowledge and understanding).[
Doesn't seem so far away now does it.
I learned that magnets don't work when wet 🤷♂️🤦♂️
