Convicted felon Donald Trump's bizarre shark-battery question baffles MIT expert

Well, those jobs have crossed over before.

I react the same way when dealing with people who ask bizarre rambling questions. Especially if they have dementia and I know they can’t really help being the way that they are.

I’m a software engineer, and sometimes relatives asks me technical questions. Like about the computer chips they put everything to spy on them, I also don’t have an answer. :person_shrugging:

I feel like the public education system has failed millions of people to not understand that dropping a battery in the ocean doesn’t electrify the water like in a cartoon.

And I think it’s very cruel for voters to saddle this befuddled man with the responsibility of running a nation. Everyone on his staff is enabling him they should be ashamed. (but they probably are missing part of their brain that feels shame)

He’s a fascist, he’s not befuddled. He knows what he’s doing. He’s tearing down the country brick by brick, and turning white Christians into extremists so he can be in power.

Can we PLEASE, stop downplaying the threat, because “oh he’s just a befuddled old man” will mean SOME people WILL decide to vote for him, because “what harm can he do as a befuddled old man”…

Ahhh, electric boats… they’ll force us to use electric boats if you can believe it…

What happens if your in the middle of the ocean and your battery runs out? Thousands of miles away from anywhere…
Is someone coming out to bring you a fresh battery? Of course not… but gas… with gas, you just pour some into the tank and you can go again.

Nobody is forcing him. He wants to run it so that he can make money and hurt people. He has already created thousands of victims who deserve your sympathy far more.

If a blubbery creature washes up on the beach you can always gather a crowd to push it back in.

I wish there was a way to link that didn’t involve Xitter so I could spread this far & wide. It’s batshit crazy, but I don’t want to drive any hits to Musk’s world.

Time to unearth that quote of his on the nuclear triad. Just don’t try to parse it:

“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.”

One of the many batshit things about this statement is that Trump believes he could leap over 10 yards (surpassing the Olympic world record for long jump) from a standing position on a sinking boat.

It’s charitable that you think he has any idea how much distance ten yards actually is…

Trump has the ability to leap superhuman distances but only toward sharks. If he tried jumping off the side of the boat opposite the shark his bone spurs would stop him.
