“Think of it, magnets,” Trump said. “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.”
I legitimately thought it was a satirical joke when I first saw it. It just comes across as something so nonsensical that you can believe Trump would say it while also sounding so stupid that you can’t believe he’d actually say it.
Just now? I recall him mentioning bleach injections, washing the lungs out with bleach, and hitting the body with “a tremendous ultraviolet light” and “bringing the light inside the body” to cure covid19 a few years back.
He was speaking in Iowa but maybe he thought he was in Illinois, where John Deere is located. Or it could be he knew he was in Iowa and someone informed him that Iowa is a farming state…they may or may not understand magnets but they’re probably really up to date on John Deere.
TLDR: he’s an important IGNORANT nut case talking to his poorly educated base and he’s trying to suck up.
To be clear, I don’t think farmers are poorly educated, but I do think his base (including farmers) is. He’s trying to speak their language.
He was originally talking about an aircraft carrier that uses a magnetic elevator lift for the planes rather than hydraulic like a traditional elevator.
Then as usual he kinda lost his train of thought and ranted about nonsense. The connection was that many John Deere tractors have hydraulics.

Fucking tractors, how do they work?
Classic old internet 10/10
I feel dumber having read that.

He’s finally crossed the threshold of insanity

Magnets definitely still work when wet… 🤨 Also what that fuck does John Deere have to do with wet magnets lmao

John Deere has a number of manufacturing plants in Iowa…
It’s his typical rambling.
