Trump Goes on Bizarre Rant Against Magnets: ‘Give Me a Glass of Water, Let Me Drop it on the Magnets, That’s the End of the Magnets’

Former President Donald Trump went on a bizarre rant against magnetic elevators on Friday, implying that the magnets would stop working if he dropped a glass of water on them.

At a campaign rally in Mason City, Iowa, Trump railed against the magnetic elevator systems and electric catapults designed for U.S. aircraft carriers which was designed during his time in the White House:

I could tell you about aircraft carriers, where they use electric catapults. They couldn’t go to the steam, which works better for about 1/100th the price, you know? The electric catapult, you know that story? I could tell you about the elevators on a tremendous carrier, the Gerald Ford, and they decided not to use hydraulic like the John Deere tractor, they decided to use magnets, “we’re gonna use magnets!” to lift up the elevators with seven planes. We need them fast, these massive elevators. They used magnets, they wanted to try it for the first time. This was a ship that was supposed to cost 2.5 billion, it cost 19 billion and didn’t work, and still doesn’t work right.

He continued:

They had a $900 million cost over on these stupid electric catapults that didn’t work. They had almost a billion dollar cost over on the magnetic elevators. Think of it, magnets. Now 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. Why didn’t they use John Deere? Why didn’t they bring in the John Deere people? Do you like John Deere? I like John Deere.

As Trump continued the rant for several minutes, he asked the audience, “By the way, this is more interesting than listening to teleprompter stuff, right? Don’t you think? Because it’s business, it’s like business.”

Magnets are not affected by water and will continue to work even when submerged.

During the same rally on Friday, Trump also called on his supporters to “stay in those voting booths” while voting to ensure that the 2024 election does not get rigged.

“If you see bags of crap coming into the voting areas, you gotta stop it,” he said.
