hahahaah someone clearly used the words 'israel iron dome' in his presence, and this is the result.
what a fucking idiot.
I also think it's finally sunk in that the wall idea will never actually work. And then someone said "iron dome", and his brain concluded that a dome sounds more bad-ass than a wall, anyway.
Recall he has said that his temperment now and when he was in first grade is "not all that different". So whenever you try to work out his thought process, it helps to think like a seven-year-old. (Not six: If Trump were a kid today, his parents would have definitely held him back a year)
Alternative hypothesis: he's also been listening to flat-earthers who think there's a crystal dome keeping the air from leaking into space, and he got both ideas mixed together in his brain.
Doesn't dementia affect a person's ability to recognize metaphor?
Trump criticized sending "billions of dollars out of the countries so they can build a dome, but we don’t have a dome ourselves."
"We’re going to have the greatest dome ever," he continued.
It astounds me that anyone is willing to vote for someone this stupid. It's not an act. He is legitimately stupid. That's been on full display this past fucking decade.
We will build a dome that covers the entire 3.5 million square miles of the United States of America, and Mexico is gonna pay for it. This will also solve Climate Change for America, except that it is a liberal hoax anyway.
I just want to know when we’re going to implement his plan to nuke hurricanes?
I’m gonna guess that what he’s attempting to refer to here is the Iron Dome system of Israeli fame.
We already have anti-ballistic missile systems:
Also, to be clear, it would be a very bad idea for the US to pursue an expansion of the GMD system to be “impermeable” to a peer state, because not only would it be cripplingly expensive (even in the context of US military budgets), but it would also diminish the disincentive of doing a nuclear first strike (which would obviously lead directly to an intercontinental nuclear war), and you can guess who would want to do something like that.
Joke's on you, in the time it took you to write out this informed rebuttal he's already moved on to wet magnets.
What is a wet magnet?
Try to keep up with the gish gallop:
https://news.yahoo.com/donald-trump-latest-relentlessly-stupid-084138421.html
The Republican 2024 front-runner on Friday complained to a crowd of supporters in Mason City, Iowa, about electric catapults and magnetic elevator systems for U.S. aircraft carriers.
The four-times-indicted former president polarized with this line: “All I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets.”
What the ever loving fuck?
Speak confidently and people will assume you are right, no matter how stupid what you're saying is
I thought you were joking, but then a couple posts down was an article about his wet magnet comments. Unbefuckinglievable.
Can't wait for Trump to advocate for a monorail.
Monorails would reduce the cost of rails by 50%.
This comment was brought to you by Big Car.
We'll say it yet again: This isn't an act, folks. He really is this stupid.
I...I kind of wonder if he means something like the iron dome that Israel has. I'm trying to translate his senile brain into something that is tangible.
But then again.. we're talking about a man who said a nuke could get rid of a hurricane.
Sigh
Why are Republicans in general so damned afraid of everything?
fear is how they control their base. its not logic, which is why we cant argue with them.
As much as I'll happily rag on the prequels, I think a lot about a line from the Phantom Menace, as said by Yoda: “Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger…anger leads to hate…hate leads to suffering.”
It's crazy how easily manipulated they are. I think that must be why Republican politicians are so goddamned detestable, you have to be a POS to be taking advantage of people like that in the first place. They know they're going after less-educated people, taking advantage of their fears, and soaking up whatever money or power they have to give. Just constantly throwing out these new threats for people to be afraid of to distract them from the fact that they're robbing them blind and directly working against their own base's interests. Like, as long as you don't mind lying to people on a regular basis, have at least some small amount of charisma and don't feel bad attacking some other minority group, you can probably do ok in the Republican party, regardless of whatever you've done in the past.

They're literally, physiologically hypersensitive to fear.
The Simpsons movie is getting a remake?
I was elected to lead, not to read.
As impenetrable as the dome protecting trump and republicans from reality.
...sooo how's that wall going?
Seems like that'd be the first step in building a dome, but the best we could do was a couple of stretches of fence. I'm sure it'll be fine - Trump is a man of his word after all.
I genuinely view conservatism as a mental illness at this point.
the reason magas love the guy? he speaks fluent moron.
He... he knows that Israel's "Iron Dome" isn't LITERALLY a dome, right? Like the Iron Curtain wasn't ACTUALLY a curtain.
You know, when I watch, uh, our guys operate those things, it’s unbelievable. Missile coming in, missile coming in. These geniuses sit down. Most of them are, you know, they’re from MIT. But they sit down, bing bing bing bing, boom, ph-sheee. It’s gone. It’s amazing. I think we could use, do you like that? I mean, isn’t that better than giving other countries billions of dollars? Billions. We’re going to get billions of dollars out of the countries and so they can build a dome, but we don’t have a dome ourselves. We’re going to have the greatest dome ever.
He's clearly not talking about a literal physical dome.
Clickbait.
He heard someone talking about this, probably: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Dome
Which is still stupid, because the we already have this tech.
Are you sure about that? With that word salad, who can really be sure what he's thinking.
And he'll make the aliens pay for it.
Can't wait for the maga folks to defend this saying things like "he didn't mean that"
I swear I made this joke in 2016.
It would basically pay for itself, with the savings from not having to nuke the hurricanes.
My life experience tells me we will never agree on a thermostat setting.
Does he not understand or care that the Patriots we're giving to Ukraine ARE a dome that does what he's talking about?
If you’re talking about trump and ask ‘does he understand’, the answer is ‘no’.
Let's face it, they replaced Trump's brain with ChatGPT alpha internal dev version, where the trainee set the wrong parameters.
Its like a wall but for the sky, I am a very successful wall builder, some might even say the best.
