In a recent Fox News interview focused on the economy, former President Donald Trump showcased his lack of understanding when he delved into a peculiar tirade questioning the common knowledge of magnets, stating that “nobody knows what a magnet is,” seemingly disregarding the basic scientific concept familiar to children with science kits.
During the interview, Trump made bold claims about tariffs ensuring the supply of “all the magnets we want,” as if negotiating with a fictional entity like the North Pole. This isn’t the first instance of Trump’s confusion on scientific matters, as he previously cautioned US Navy personnel during an Asia tour about the dangers of spilling water on magnets, displaying a belief in their mystical properties.
At the age of 79, Trump continues to explain scientific principles with the enthusiasm of someone discovering a simple object like a paperclip for the first time. *** An incident in Mississippi caused chaos when a truck transporting research monkeys had an accidental release, leading deputies to mistakenly believe the monkeys were dangerous and infected with various illnesses.
